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...

Re: 1986 sr5 on bring a trailer
Wow, it sold for $10,250...in USD! I had assumed it was in CAD since the car is in Canada but nope. So in Canadian, that's over $14k. I hope the buyer is someone who has lots of disposable money and isn't putting themselves into debt for what they believe is going to be a mint car that won't require...

new vacuum advance unit, part # SMP 43898YM
I bought a replacement vacuum advance unit off of ebay recently, even though I wasn't sure if it would fit on our cars (the listing said it was only for 1982 tercels, which didn't make any sense to me but still had me unsure about forking over so much cash for it). It arrived yesterday and I install...

Re: Collapsed Rings? Bad idle..
I hope some others chime in here because I'm running out of ideas. It doesn't really sound like a timing issue but just in case, have you verified the crank and cam gears are at TDC on the compression stroke, and the distributor rotor is pointing to 10:30? Next idea is a plugged fuel filter. You can...

Re: Blown head gasket scenarios/ diagnosis
I flushed the system several times and even filled it with vinegar. I managed to get it somewhat clean but its still heavily dirty. Ive since then driven maybe 7000km with the car. Compression is 175psi on all cylinders, it doesnt use oil or have contaminants in there or use any coolant. Havent man...

Re: Remanufactured distributor bearings
Do these reman'd distributors come with a new vacuum advance unit? Because those units on their own are around $150 US on ebay. I wonder if the reman'd distributor would be a cheaper option for getting new vacuum advance units.

Re: Souping up a 3A Engine
The jets are tiny. They would fit in a regular envelope. Probably only be a few dollars to mail. But you're right, there are a few options for achieving what you're looking to do.

1986 sr5 on bring a trailer
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-toyota-tercel/ This one has been up for sale several times this year already which always strikes me as a little fishy. Also of note, both the transmission and rear diff appear wet with gear oil. It would be a shame to spend a mint on it and find the trans and/...
