OK, are you ready? I checked every vacuum line, and could go on and on about it but I won't. The linkage at the foot feed was bent. I straightened it out and woo hoo no more idle problems. Took the opportunity to adjust everything carb related and Pete runs like a well oiled sewing machine. Thanks f...

I replaced the timing belt a year and a half ago. I set the timing like I always have with No. 1 plug at top dead center and it seems to run a little bit rich, I get 28-30mpg so I have not tried to reset it. I downloaded the vacuum diagram and if the rain will stop I'll get busy trying to find my le...

Ok, I will give some more time to it, but when its revving at such high RPMs its a little nerve racking. "Captain, she's gonna blow!" Thanks for the input!

I have had my 1983 Tercel 4 WD Wagon since The last part of 2014. I'm the guy who courted the one and only previous owner of this car for a year and she finally consented to sell "Pete". Well I have been driving him to work everyday and mostly with out any major issues. Tonight on my way h...

Had a big cold snap(For us folks in SW MO)so I have as yet to work on Pete. Plus, I'm still building our cabin while living in it and then there is life in general. Hoping to work on him sometime over the next 4 days as well as getting my wood stove installed, knee walls in the loft built, and raili...

Tershell-What true Hipppies or hippies at heart come out of.(you could add gypsies in there too)

I have always "had to" do all my own mechanic work...can't bring myself to pay someone $400 or $500 to do a job when cost of parts are maybe $15-20 bucks. Guess I'm just to tight! If I've got the tools or can borrow or rent them I'll do it myself, besides that, I'm a freak I actually enjoy...

Welcome to the forum! In reguard to the road noise...you might try jacking the rear of the terc pull the wheels off and rotate the hub while listening for noise either in the rear end or the rear axel bearings. It might also be brake shoes dragging.

GREETINGS FROM SW MISSOURI! Glad you and Orwell are here! I'm fairly new to the forum as well and love my Tercel too!My Pete is a low mileage car with only 220,000 mi. on him with high hopes he'll make the half million mark.

I will start with a couple of pics of Pete just before I got him...Baby pictures if you will.

PS I will make any other post in the proper catagory....before someone asks me to.

Thanks for all comments! Pete is safely in my care and will live on. As soon as this cold snap passes I will go to work on him. He has a new water pump so that won't have to be done, new radiator too, but since he sat for a while I will make sure the crank shaft seal is not leaking. I read a thread ...

Oops I see you are in Reno, Nevada? Wow, don't know when I'll be out that way and I bet shipping would be killer. Would a 80's model carolla hood work? I know where one is but not sure what they are doing with it.
