Hi there,
I have a 1980 Corolla SR-5 with the 3tc engine,5 speed and the Aisan carb.
All of the vacuum lines are a mess, and I was hoping someone on the board might have a diagram of the routing for them.
I just recently rebuilt the carb on it, and am having hard starting, and black smoke when it tries to run, I think the float is too high.
Does the gas level on the Aisan carb line up with the dot on the sight glass when the float is right?
Great looking board...I look forward to learning a lot about these little cars. ^_^
Yes. Usually there is a vacuum hose routing diagram stuck on the inside of the hood. If you can not figure it out just cap the connection on the carb. Just make sure you at least get the ones to the distributor Vacuum advance and the vacuum switch on the right front fender.

Yes, I have the remnants of a vacuum hose routing sticker on the underside of the hood of the car. It's pretty effed up. I guess i'll go buy a manual from autozone this evening, and see what that tells me. Any words of advice for someone trying to get an old 3tc running good? I'm not out for performance, lol, I'm out for fuel economy.
Well, I bought a Chilton's manual for the corolla, and it dosen't list vacuum diagrams at all in it.
Where should I got to next to get such a diagram? Will Toyota fax me one or something?
I really need to get this car going, gas usage in my pickup is killing me.
Check the Chiltons thoroughly. It should be under Fuel, exhaust and emissions control system or something like that. If the Chiltons is not useful take it back saying it is useless and get a Haynes.
Or you could try the library and photocopy some out of a Haynes manual or if your lucky a Mitchell Manual. Mitchell is one of the best manuals. Most dealers use their rate guides. There are quite a few diagrams for each different emissions control.
Another alternative is try going to your local dealership and asking. Explain your situation. If it is a good parts department they will help you. They have computers and printers and parts layouts. Would not take long to printout.
Also did you check out the first thread in this group, "Toyota Repair Manuals"
I tried one Toyota place, and they said they couldn't help me. I Read all of the posts regarding online manuals to no avail either.
Mitchell Manuals are like $100.00.
I just can't shell out that kind of cash for basically one page of vacuum diagrams.
I wish I could find someone with at least a picture of a 3tc engine with all of it's hoses hooked up. That would help quite a bit. Thanks for the words of encouragement hemi, I love this little old car, but noone seems to know a whole lot about it here in Stephenville, Texas. lol
I know Mitchell Manuals are expensive. That is why I said to go to a library to photocopy the information you need. You might find some more info for future use in it.
As for only one page of vacuum diagrams it is more like several diagrams. There must be some parts shop that sells Haynes manuals. It has all the factory diagrams copied in there. Haynes are also cheap.
Here is one on Ebay right Now!!!!! for 1980 - 87 Grab it!!!
Haynes Automotive Repair Manual Toyota Corolla - New Item number: 7965930922
All our library has is books on OLD OLD cars. lol I live in Stephenville, Texas, and it's selection of manuals is pretty much Ford and Chevy. lol
I'm gonna try to find a Chiltons Vacuum Diagram book, for imports. Supposedly there is one for all imports 80-87, so hopefully that will be the way to go for me.
Thanks again for all the help, Hemi. If I buy this manual, I'll scan it and upload the diagrams somewhere. This has been bugging me for weeks. lol
I had trouble finding one for my 81. I couldn't find it in any mitchell manuals, never checked the hanes. Managed to figure it out by the way the hoses have formed over the last 24 years, so when i get my camera batteries charged I'll post some pictures of mine(if I can get any decent ones). This might happen tonight, if not possibly sometime tomorrow.
well i tried attaching pictures. turns out i don't know how. when i hit the attach image icon it asks me for a url. if anyone knows how, let me know and i'll do it.
