Or possibly air bubbles in the coolant res?


anything over a smidge past middle is concerning. start with the thermostat. if that doesnt fix it, your head gasket is in the process of failing -- typical of these cars at this point. head gasket is very easy to do on these if it comes down to it ...

I knew they went to the choke but if I move the plug a clicking noise happens around the carb so I wanted to know the name of the plug


youll need to fix that. if theres clicking thats the fuel cutoff solenoids. not going to say thats causing your issues, but its not good to have them clicking ...

There is an unlabeled port next to the dryer on the passenger side of the car. The AC diagrams all seem to point to that being the high side port (discharge side - liquid). The only low side (suction side - gas) is on top of the compressor under the alternator. And you have move the alternator up ...

Heyo!

The last handful of SR5s that showed up at local pick 'n pulls have not had either so figured it may be worth posting up here!

Hoping to source rear mud flaps and a grey inclinometer housing as mine has disintegrated... I'm located in Santa Cruz, CA and happy to cover shipping!

I’ve seen negative reviews/comments about them on forums such as Toyota Nation and Reddit. One person wrote, “The prices are cheap but these guys are horrible- you have to PRAY they get the order right and that you don't have to deal with their return department. Otherwise god help you.” After ...

Looking for a transmission for my 85.
Are there directions on this board for testing a transmission at a wrecking yard?


sign of trans health is to pull the input shaft and see how sharp the teeth are, and how worn down the bearing journal is. if the teeth are thin and sharp, or the journal is ...

thats an interesting import -- 2 door tercel with the spicy motor. i would love to do the swap, but it would be a monumental undertaking -- every single vacuum line and component would have to be swapped over between the two motors. and then, not having any info would make it hard to fix the down ...

In my '87, I put in these LED bulbs a few years ago and have been really happy with them. They're one of the best bang for the buck mods I have come across.
