Hello I've got an 88 Camry, 4 cylinders, 230k mi.  It runs really well
except for this alternator problem which has confounded me.  The car
will run fine for anywhere from 1 minute to 2 or 3 hours with the
alternator on, then the Battery, Lights, and  Brake Warning lights all

I have an 89 cressida rear wheel drive sedan, the rear end is not holding
fluid and it is whining really bad. I have tried replacing seals but nothing
has changed. I have been on the look out for a rear end but no luck in that
department either. Can anyone out there help me. I ...

The compressor on my 2003 Celica seems to shut off intermittently and
the AC light flashes, then the air gets hot. If I turn everything off
and then back on sometimes it starts working again, sometimes not. When
it's working it's plenty cool, when it's not it's completely

can you use a 1985 model 5 speed transmission out of a corolla with a 1300 motor in a 1985 toyota corona? i was wondering if the gearbox mounts and bellhousing mounts would line up? take in mind that the corona has a 2 litre motor with a 4 speed gearbox at the moment?

Does the standard radio in the '04 Highlander have a facility to
connect the mute of a phone handsfree unit? The unit puts an earth out

Corolla 1988 SR5 carburated model.
This great little car has started on a dime for over 10 years. About a
month ago I noticed intermittent starting difficulty. I turn the key and

About the Matrix exrended warranty, the dealer mentioned I can get an
additional 3yrs and 39K miles which is a total of 6yrs and 75K for
$700.00 does this seem like a practical choice!

I subscribed to this group some years ago to help me maintain my Toyotas and
keep abreast of news in the Toyota world.

Hello, I'm a newbie here.   Just bought my first Toyota ever, a 1985
pickup with 146K miles.   The engine starts readily and pulls well. The
idle is smooth, but that's the problem.   The truck failed state
inspection today because the idle is too high.   How does one adjust the

I considering going to the Toyota Technical  Information System (TIS) web
site to get the online shop manual for a 98 Toyota Corolla.  As I
understand, you can get one day on the site for $10 to view/download a
manual in pdf form.  Does anyone have experience with this site, i.e. ...

This situation with fuel supply and prices seems to have affected
Corolla sales.  A dealership close to me said they are out of them.
They sold all 28 that they had from Friday through Sunday.  Anyone
else hear of anything similar in your area?
