Re: ISO: Stock Carburetor for 1985 A/T w/ 3AC Engine

Might be a complete newbie question here, but is there a difference between a carb from auto and manual? I am swapping my 83 FWD hatchback from auto to manual transmission... I know it has some kind of linkage that goes to the auto trans right? Is this not on the manual car carburetor? How do I go ...

Re: Pulse pump missing? Smog issue

Yeah looking at the FSM pic Chris posted, it says the AS system supplies filtered air to the cat to aid in burning HC and CO. I would just find a used air filter housing that has the correct AS stuff on it (remember there are a few versions -- Federal and California, and they are different) and swap...

Re: The 4 Transmission Seals

I just replace the output shaft and 4WD selector shaft seals this past weekend with SKF 12745 and SKF 552505 respectively. I cleaned everything really well and parked uphill overnight to put as much oil to the back of the transmission as possible. I placed a piece of cardboard under the car to chec...

Re: ISO Front fenders for 88 T4WD - Canada

The fenders from any Tercel 83-86 (2 door or 4 door hatchback, FWD wagon, 4WD wagon) will work for you. Have you looked on car-part.com? That's a good resource for NLA parts.

Re: Pulse pump missing? Smog issue

Yes, the guy is correct. I can't remember what it's called, 'air suction' maybe? Anyway, download the factory service manual (FSM) here, go to the emissions section, and you will find info on it there. I might have the name wrong but if you flip through that section it will be obvious when you see it.

Re: In search of passengers side mirror

The mirrors from any 85-88 wagon will fit yours, FYI. The ones on 83-84 wagons are different though -- they will fit require some modifications best just to stick with the 85-88 wagon ones.

Have you tried car-part.com? It's a great resource for finding parts like this.

I am not seeing the ‘new topic’ button from my iPhone. I just got a new phone and am still navigating it so it could be on my end. Should I enable a desktop mode?

Re: Trip Meter Failed on The ROCKET

IMG_1981.jpeg Reviving an old thread because there are no other threads on this here, surprisingly. I have a spare cluster but the trip meter didn’t work on it. It would work for a bit then get stuck at random numbers. That bugged me because I always track my fuel economy. I finally got around to t...

Re: (San Diego) Looking for 4WD Tercel SR5

Not many pics in that ad but from what we can see, it looks like the body is in good shape.

That's not Mr. Wrench's car for sale, he was just sharing the ad with you. Message the seller through FB.

new 1st/2nd gear synchros available

Untitled.jpg Robert made a post about this on the facebook page but I wanted to post it here so it's easier to find in the future. He ordered NEW synchros for 1st/2nd gears (the synchro is the same for both gears) from a company called Amayama. He hasn't installed them yet but he says they look cor...

Re: Lady ran a red turn signal. What to do now

Sorry to hear about this, smellis. I agree with Toyotise's advice. It seems like there are still a good number of decent ones available throughout the US so I'm hopeful you can find another soon.

Re: Collapsed Rings? Bad idle..

I verified that timing was at least close by removing and reinserting distributor per FSM instructions. Not sure why it was backfiring through the carb, though. Worrisome to me. I'm not sure what the FSM instructions are but what I do when I have to reset the timing: - remove the #1 spark plug - pu...

Re: Idling too long?

i have come across posts about webers preferring an electric fuel pump instead of the oem, or even just a pressure regulator ? There is no need for an electric fuel pump, but a fuel pressure regulator is important with a weber because the stock fuel pump and carb use a fuel pressure of 6 or 7 psi, ...

Re: Tercel differential rebuild questions

The other day I jumped into my Jetta after driving the wagon for a few weeks. I was shocked at how smooth and quiet it drove. I guess there's a trade-off to driving a T4WD! :D I had a similar incident recently. I had been driving the Tercel for a month or so, then needed to drive our 1991 Corolla w...
