Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build
Checked oil cap and no bubbles or anything so all good there, filled up some more coolant tho to be safe in the heating part, it did heat up again pretty quickly tho so definitely somethings not right, I have an oil leak from the head gasket though, thinking I might take to to a mechanic and have hi...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build

It does turn out though that whoever rebui...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build
Alright I'll do that for some reason O'Reilly's and AutoZone did not have a 5/32 size hose so I have to go to home Depot tomorrow, on top of that have to check the thicker hose diameter, I'll also give the FSM a check. I've tried to adjust my idle speed and I loosen the screw all the way and it's st...

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build
Thanks for all the ti ps I'll look at all those and try all those out, and yeah the old pump was some Chinese crap so that explains why it went bad so quick.

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build
I'll try that Chris and will do tomorrow morning duragauge! I replaced the fuel pump this morning as well as changed the oil, it seems to be running better now and has more consistent fuel flow for sure than before. Throttle also feels for some reason a bit smoother I'm sure that's due to fuel flow ...

Re: Fuel Pump Failure
Did the new fuel pump keep it from dying all the sudden, think mines having the same issue, but fuel also contaminated my oil. It wont turn over anymore tho and the previous owner bypassed the fuel filter which I think caused a clog somewhere. But back to being on topic, did you ever figure it out, ...

1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 something build
Hey so this is just about my Tercel and updates on it. At first I was going to make it an overlander but I think to make that even worth it, it's going to be a bit to much money. That was also before I encountered a fuel problem today. At first I figured I was out of gas as my fuel gauge doesn't wor...

Re: The Definitive List of Ways to Lift a Tercel 4wd
I plan on doing the Abra Cadaver lift on both front and rear because my Tercel needs all new suspension anyway, but I have a question that I'm not sure if it's been answered or not. Since the front lift is 1.75 could I cut the spring a quarter inch, maybe a half inch to lower it so I don't chew my C...
