My 86 is stick shift.

Thank you all for the tips. I'm not a mechanic and have limited tools, but I'll try doing the things I'm capable of - the rest I'll probably have to take into the shop to be checked.

BTW, I bought a Chilton Tercel 84-94 manual found at a used bookstore - are these manuals ...

Terrible gas mileage - only 175 miles on full tank

I have an 86 Tercel 4wd wagon with 250k miles, purchased last May. The car needed a bunch of work when I bought it, so I had the following services done last June:

timing belt
TVSV valve (these are very hard to find - what an ordeal)
water pump
air filter
oil change
tune up/plugs/wires
new battery ...
