My 2000 lost it's power brakes while my 17 year old daughter was driving. After a $300 tow bill to get it home, I discovered a rusted ruptured line running along the driver's side frame to the rear. I cut out 18" of the rusted line and spliced in new line with double flares on the ends. The...
Thanks for the suggestions- I'll look over the alternator wiring tonight. I ordered a remanufactured Denso from Rock Auto in case I need to install this weekend.
I'm having a problem with the battery overcharging on my 2000 and I'd like to make sure that the issue isn't with the fusible link before I replace the alternator. Battery is at 12.1v with signs that is was leaking- moisture on battery and the surrounding area. Battery light is on at idle, but...
It's been a couple weeks since I did the timing belt job and the coolant is down about 12 oz. I can see coolant on the water inlet housing. I wiped it off and it was back in the same spot after a couple hours of driving. Do I need a new inlet housing?
I MAY have pried on this area to get...
Hi everyone,
After 2 60’s and a couple 80’s over the last 20 years, I finally got a 100 series a few months ago. 2000, 160k miles. Lots of maintenance records, but the suspension is still original. With a couple people in the 2nd or 3rd row the ride gets pretty rough with a lot of bouncing ...
Doesn't seem like such a bad idea compared to fighting rusted fasteners on the underside. My last couple repairs have been underneath and involved a combination of torches, grinders, hacksaws, & bandaids. :crybaby:
I've got a 1993 with rear drum brakes and the bellcranks are a frozen rusted mess. Is it possible to get rid of the parking brake hardware and have the drum brakes work ok or is the parking brake necessary for proper adjustment of the rear drums?
thanks
Looking for leaks in the AC of my 1993 (converted to R134a), I saw what looked like the greenish UV leak detection residue behind one of the aluminum pipes running vertically up to the firewall connection on the passenger side. I removed the pipe and found some caked on greenish material on the...
I had the same issue when I washed my engine bay for the first (and last) time- it would hit a wall at 2000 rpm no matter what gear I was in. I think the TPS got wet- I unplugged it over night to help it dry and it was fine the next day. This was after it had already sat for 1 day after the...
I know this thread is old, but I thought I'd mention these plugs sold for volvo factory roof racks:
Roof Rack Hole Plug Kit
I've had them on my 940 wagon for 7 years and they've worked well.
I stopped at the u-pull-it yard on the way home and picked up a TPS from a 1994 Corolla- same part number and looked to match the LC sensor perfect. I plugged everything back in and took it for a drive before installing the new one- it ran great other than the sticky throttle cable. Looks like...
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I unplugged the electrical connections at the throttle body & distributor last night, so we'll if that makes any difference tonight.
Looks like the wires have been replaced with OEM- they're marked YAKUZI 2001. Cap looks to have been replaced recently...
I'll pull the cap, but it doesn't run rough at all. It just feels like the fuel cuts out at 2000 rpm. I've been reading through a couple other threads and it looks like it might have been the TPS:

Hi everyone,
I picked up a red 1993 with 172k miles this past Friday and everything was going great til I decided to clean the engine bay. Other than a sticky throttle cable, it ran great for the 200 mile trip home. Last night, I sprayed the engine bay with degreaser and let it idle while...
