Hi everyone, So there's been oil leaking from the distributor of my 1990 Corolla AE92 / 4A-F, I had taken it out however the original O-Ring - if you'd call it that - was heavily plasticised and cracked, I've since replaced it with a 1 x 1/8" O-Ring but I really don't think it's going to do the...

Hi, I was driving my car just fine. stopped it for 5 minutes, tried starting again, but it won't turn over. it's cranking but won't start, so the first thing i did was go and change out the spark plugs. turns out the old ones were pretty fried, but after swapping them old NGK ones with new NGK...

I recently aquired a 1988 Chevy nova that wasn't really messed with all too much. for the previous owner a completely incompetent shop replaced the timing belt and the distributor because the car died randomly while driving at 30mph. They said the new distributor they installed was faulty and...

I know there are threads on this already, but looking through a million different forums is making my head turn to mush. So, I have a 95 corolla DX, manual trans (used to be auto, previous owner swapped) 1.8l 7AFE engine. engine runs great, only thing I had an "issue" with is sometimes it would...

I was given this awesome Alltrac by a good friend of mine, said he was driving one day and it stalled out, he somehow concluded it was the fuel pump, mostly finished installing a new one, but got distracted by other projects. Sat for a year or two, before he gave it to me to save. So far, i’ve...

I'm trying to resuscitate a 1994 Corolla DX 1.8 that has been sitting for over a year. It's not my car, but I have been charged with bringing it back to drivable condition. New plugs and wires. It would crank but not start. So I checked for spark by pulling a spark plug and looking for spark...

Hi folks, I’m having trouble where the car doesn’t like to stay running after a good rain. I’ve replaced the distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, checked throttle position sensor, replaced o2 sensor, checked for vacuum leaks, basically I’ve been poking around to find the cause of this for a...

My corolla is a 1996 automatic 1.6L 4A-FE. It started bucking and losing power at high speeds The timing is about 40 degrees advanced at idle, according to a check with a timing light and the ECU (using one of those OBDII code readers). It starts up, idles fast (around 1500rpm) and sounds...

Distributor is leaking on this 96 camry 4cy. Should I replace it with one from eBay ~$40 or is there a way to rebuild it??

Hi all, 95 Camry 2.2L/auto I just replaced the OEM distributor with an aftermarket unit because the old one was leaking oil internally and the coil was bad. With the new distributor installed, it doesn't kick right over any more. It takes 5-10 seconds for it to start, but once it does it runs...

Hello. First off, thanks to ToyotaNation for helping me so much with this car. It's truly my favorite car to drive! My 1991 Wagon 4AFE recently had to get the distributor replaced. Got a new Lucas branded ignition. Symptoms: Engine will lose all power if I press the pedal beyond a certain...

Hi Everyone, New here, but not to auto mechanics. I have a reasonable amount of mechanical knowledge but often leave more complicated tasks to professionals because I do know my limits :) I inherited my mother's 1994 Toyota Pickup with the v6 engine (3vze) and almost 224k miles. I recently had...

5MGE Timing 86 Cressida, I pulled the head to clean the intake/exhaust runners and valve seals. Also deleted the remaining emission equipment while there *the EGR system*. I set the crank and cam timing and slapped the distributor in and it all went to hell for me. I've been trying to follow...

Ignition coil / signal generator / pickup test, "NE+ to NE- 1630-2740 Ohm" Where are NE+ and NE- pins? I have a 96 Corolla 7AFE with a very rough idle. at a stop it feels like a cheap motel vibrating bet. Once idle picks up it is fine. This happens hot or cold. I'm pretty sure the IAC is fine...

I have a 97 corolla 1.6 automatic I'm probably the 5th or 6th owner Issue: Car runs shifts accelerates like a brand new car, until it's warmed up after car hits operating temperature/close to operating temperature it sputters when attempting to accelerate, to the point where it won't climb a...

I'm about to replace the distributor on my 1996 4 cylinder due to the oil leaks (and the 327k miles). I notice the new distributor (Richporter / Spectra TY49) only has one circular bolt hole, no adjustment slot. Looking at the one on the car, I'm not seeing an adjuster plate, unless there's...
