Re: Leaking differential?
I have found the cv axles seals last a long time, usually if they leak it is because someone damaged it when they replaced an axle during other maintenance. if your axle seals are not leaky, when you pull the old axle shaft out, check that it is still soft and flexible (with just finger pressure), a...

Re: carb numbers
Those tags may not indicate differences in carbs, but perhaps year, or emissions systems codes. they do not appear to have any obvious correlation to physical differences to the carb it self. And, per forum member Xirdneh (who has likely rebuilt more old toyota carbs than anyone else on this forum) ...

Re: '88 Tercel automatic won't start....not even a click
I just saw our post now, sorry about the delay in answer, but looks like you solved the problem. IFY, on the starter when checking voltage with a volt meter, at the contacts it may not tell you anything. a weak contact will give you a good reading with it just "on". But with the large dema...

Re: Leaking differential?
if it is on the bottom of the trans case, almost certainly it is coming down from somewhere else. If it is not a lot, I would just check and top up periodically. the most common sourse of gear oil leaks on the trans axle, in descending order, is as follows: the CV axle output shaft to diff housing s...

Re: INT / intermittent wipers?
some of the base models only had low and high wiper modes, but most later ones also have an intermittent setting. However, someone discovered the Same years toyota Forerunners have adjustable intermittent wipers multi switch that will fit into the tercel. a good junk yard find, you will have to trim...

Re: rock auto not the cheapest option anymore?
I just bought a carb rebuilt kit from my local Autozone for $36, next day arrival and no shipping cost. rock auto was more for the basic kit, and much more with shipping, and many days to get it. Always compare between different sources, sometimes rockauto has killer deals (at random), sometimes not...

Re: Refreshed paint job
I might consider that with my daily driver. I keep after getting minor blistering and rust pitting around the wheel wells, fender lips, and rocker panels. I will sand them off, hit it with rustolium primer and than color coat it. It looks good for a few years but than returns again.

Re: Dies after high speed and/or prolonged run time.
metal lines can get corrosion pits that allow air to get sucked into the fuel line as it runs. so do not overlook inspecting the metal fuel lines as well. I assume you have replaced the fuel filter, and checked the screen at the fuel line inlet to the carb. it is fairly easy to check the fuel pick u...

Re: Turbo 4age tercel
that is a lot of fine effort and expense going into a funky old econo-box of a car. that will really be something unique, and quite the sleeper! I am curious what a "DIY megasquirt" is that you are using. it is homemade? can you make one inexpensively? or it is modified megasquirt (that is...

Re: what kind of cleaner to use during carb rebuild?
Muriatic acid is simply hydrocloric acid but sold in hardware stores and pool supply stores. white vinegar might also work, but you must soak it much longer. back when I was in high school autoshop we had this nasty acidic parts dip for carburetors. we put the parts in a metal basket and lowered it ...

Re: Carburetor Replacement
That mechanic is way over charging, or he does not know what he is doing so is way over padding his estimate. It only takes about an hour to remove and rebuild the stock carb, and at worst, an hour (or less) to trouble shoot it and sort out the vac lines and systems. I would not take it to him, most...

Re: Weber carburetor questions
the PVC valve should not be connected to the EGR, they perform separate unrelated functions. I think perhaps sorting out your installation it might help to do some homework: read the chapters in the FSM on how each system operates. From there it will I think become easier to figure out how to make i...

Re: 1985 Tercel -make offer
that car is now almost 40 years old, and you were the original owner? you really got your use out of it. good luck in finding a new owner, it looks decent and it should be fixed and put back on the road. I do not have the time or space for it. hopefully someone will save it.

Re: Cut an access hole ahead of stick shift
I have never seen anyone do that, and there would be no reason to. access that plug is not too bad from the tunnel under the car if you just unbolt the rear cross member, and lower the rear of the trans (without removing anything else).

Re: Amazing 1984 Tercel Rally Build by Verve Racing
there is not much of the original Tercel4wd left,just some sheet metal body. the roll over can be attributed to the all new (and unproven) suspension, front and rear, as much to the extra hp. it states it is "stock ride height" but that does not look correct to my eye. that is a very costl...
