Re: What size tires?
The size of tire you can run partly depends on the offset of the wheels you are running. For example, I have run slightly larger tires on stock wheels with no problems, but a set of similar sized tires on Honda alloys with a different offset (which I hadn't considered before that) ended up rubbing. ...

Re: Ignition Key
I have had bad luck with hardware store making keys for Tercels, and older (pre-2000s) cars in general. They find blanks that are close but they aren't quite right and don't work. So now I only go to my local lock and key place, they have the right blanks and the keys work well each time.

Re: working on Terc2
Chris, I can't remember -- is the access hole in your pic stock, and normally covered with a plug? I think I recall members here removing the plug to spray rust penetrant on the nut but am not sure, it's been a long time since I've seen those posts.

Re: working on Terc2
What is the control arm hardware mod for? The bolts for the control arms thread into a captive nut that cannot be accessed without some serious messing around. Occasionally, due to corrosion between the bolt and nut, the welds on the captive nuts can break when trying to remove the bolt and now you...

Re: Tercel differential rebuild questions
Found this video which describes it as a loose pinion nut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvmZ1xNTzAE&ab_channel=TomMorton Wow, neat video. I've never heard or seen anything like that before. If this is indeed the same problem as you are having, I wonder what caused it to happen. Like I mention...

Re: Tercel differential rebuild questions
Esaus, what are the noises you hear on deceleration when in 2wd?
I honestly can't recall anyone here having a rear diff go bad on them. The closest I can think of to that is mixing gear ratios when replacing the trans but that doesn't sound like your issue. Did it have a leak and run out of gear oil?

Re: fuel issue?
Hi Frank. Your post isn't very clear -- it sounds like you're saying your car used to have a cold starting issue, but now it won't start or run at all without pouring gas down the carb. Do I have that correct? If I have that right, my first question is when did you last replace the fuel filter? Unle...

Re: Hard to start cold engine
I agree with Jarf, most of what you describe is normal for carbs. You have to step on the gas at least once to set the choke when it's cold, and once it's warmed up you shouldn't have to do that to start it. There is a section in the owner's manual that covers this stuff. The only thing that stands ...

Re: Drove for 5 miles with the parking brake on.
Welcome to the forum, aslich713. You should definitely inspect the park brake for function, and the rear brakes overall. I would engage the park brake and jack the back end up and look at spot just underneath where the park brake handle is. There is a metal bar there that that the two park brake cab...

Re: Hard to start cold, hestitation under acceleration
If you look at the rear of the carb you will see a cam with steps in it. These steps control how much throttle is automatically given at idle while the engine warms up. If things are not set correctly, you can end up starting with not enough throttle, or with the opposite problem where the engine is...
