Tercel Needed (the end of my 86DLX)

She was traveling at aproximately 35mph. The back end smashed sent me headlong into the Honda Element in front of me, front end sm...

Re: Tercel Bucks and Dies under load

Brand new fuel Filter, full tank of gas (91 Octane) Did the tune up After it started having problems with no change in performance after the tune up. I had the parts before the problem started, so since the car was just sitting in the driveway I figured it couldn't hurt. The OLD plugs, wires, cap, a...

Tercel Bucks and Dies under load

After recently replacing my Toyota Carb with a Weber, I also ended up replacing the intake/exhaust manifold gasket, while I was at it I removed the EGR and plugged the hole in the exhaust and intake, and verified PCV venting and function (the pcv valve is relatively new, less than 10,000 miles on it...

Re: Weber OUT / Toyota IN

Intake leak confirmed, can't see it, but the rpm change when carb cleaner is sprayed on the intake manifold tells me I've got a leak, so I'm off to the pick a part to find a good intake before I tear into it.

More updates as I progress

Thanks to everyone for the help!

Weber OUT / Toyota IN

My 86 DLX has about 120,000 miles on it, the original Toyota carb was replaced with a rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago. The rebuilt started leaking so I replaced it with a new Weber DGEV. I've had problems getting the webber to idle below 1,100 rpm No matter how much I mess with it. Also can't seem to...
