[when i remove the carbs i cut the four wires a few inches above the plug and splice them back together with male and female connectors. all of my tercels are spliced and have the same connectors so i can interchange carbs. working from right fender set the plug with its release side towards the fro...

[quote="Chris"]I am in need of an A/C-Alternator mounting bracket for an 86 Tercel. It needs to fit the "clamshell" type alternator. the air cond/alt mount i have is for a clamshell alternator. assuming that clamshell means two mounting ears on the alternator with about a 2-1/2 -...

to keep the engine running i have the idle turned up just enough to keep it running. backing off the screw just a little bit causes it to die problem solved the solenoids on the carb were switched the two wire solenoid should be on the drivers side of the carb the single wire solenoid on the passeng...

i may have one but i'm not sure if its the one you need. i'm not familiar with the differnt brackets.

along with. He said something about having to double clutch it because of the different years for engine and transmission. There is a new clutch. One of the guys is a mechanic, he's the one who did the rebuild. I am wondering about the double clutch remark "because of the different years for en...

Curiouse qustion I never check the oil level in the transmission yet gunna when the wind stops here but would that stop the car from shifting. I would think so but i am not sure and i dont want to take the transmission out not yet at least until i get a better place to work on it. also were can i g...

i replaced the manifold gasket and intake manifold. the air leak is gone but the engine still will not idle. i have tried several carb's that work in other cars and they all seem to be dumping a lot of gas when i look down the throat. all of the carbs idle down to a medium high idle but backing the ...

What are some of the issuses that you have found with non-Toyota spark plugs? Doesn't Toyota use Nippondenso &/or NGK from the factory? i do not know for sure but i think someone did not catch the fact that DuPont makes dynamite spark plugs. i have used mostly NGK's for the last 18 years on the...

I would like to read some stories about your cars...[/quote] I noticed the Tercel Wagons back in the early 80’s and thought they were neet cars. I thought the shape was odd but liked the 4wd small wagon idea. In 1985 a musician friend returned from a gig in Canada driving one. I wanted one. I...

[quote="xirdneh"]i'm bout ready to install some DuPont sparkplugs in this thing. true to form i looked at the most difficult things first. the last thing i tried should have been the first. while the engine was running i spreayed carb cleaner around the base of the carb and where the intak...

i'm bout ready to install some DuPont sparkplugs in this thing. i recently picked up a tercel for 250.00 with an engine that had one bad cylinder. it ran but did not idle. i pulled the engine replacing it with one i salvaged for 35.00. it has abt 125,000 miles on it. it ran and idled fine in the car...

i have one from an '83 sr5 wagon

at this point i'm assuming i have two messed up carbs so i am taking them apart and cleaning them. instead of doing the above i took the carb out of the good running car and put it in the bad and it still would not idle. so i put the other carb in the good car and it idled just fine. so i guess it i...

I changed my carb on the weekend and I had to change the wiring harness that goes with it as well, and I think I may have spliced the two black wires back to front from their original spot. What would happen driveability wise if I did that? Would that make my idle cycle up and down, and hesitate? w...

while i cast cleaning it out i found this in the shifter compartment and wanted to know if you had any idea what it was and if it was important. it feels like its platic or rubber. http://www.happycomputers.biz/pic/picture14.jpg http://www.happycomputers.biz/pic/picture15.jpg i'm not sure where you...
