Re: How I Started Tercel Year 2012

Check that front idle screw? I always had to adjust it with the air cleaner off...not by the FSM. A vac leak will likely keep it from idling (just dies)...but since you can't get it to idle you can't tell if it will.

RockAuto has some good prices if the shipping is OK and they send you the right part. IF you return anything....BUY INSURANCE!

Re: 3AC Pukes coolant. No heat. Temperature Fluctuates.

You can get a head gasket leak where exhaust will push into the coolant and cause it to overheat and if really bad bubble out of the rad or coolant tank. TEST: start it cold with the rad cap off.....look for bubbles in the coolant at the cap.

Re: Alone - On The Eve Of...

So I'm sitting here looking at the sparkle from the shiny aluminum poles in the living room and out on the lawn and am wondering why, once again, I am forced to arm-wrestle myself. But the worst part is airing grievances against myself. But - the yard display this year is comforting - ENJOY ! Tom M...

Re: Need help with drivetrain diagnosis

With most transmissions this noise would indicate bad main shaft bearings...on the T4WD...it might also be the input shaft bearing. Probably is in the trans and it probably doesn't look too good in there. You could drain the trans oil and look for metal fines in the oil. Once metal has circulated th...
