Thanks for that.
Do you need a torque wrench for these bolts?
It has two brand new tires in back, and the front ones are ready to replace.
I checked the transmission fluid yesterday, the engine was cold, and those jokers who put in the used transmission at the wrecking yard put so much fluid in there that it was twice as far up the stick as it should be when hot! I used to disconnect the transmission line on my Fairmont from the radiator and put it in a bottle and start the car for a few seconds to remove excess fluid. Can this be done on this car as well?
The Transmission will start in 1st gear when cold, but will not downshif into 1st at a stop when hot. Could this be related to the over-full transmission fluid resevoir? How much would a Toyota specialist likely charge to put the car up on the lift to verify it has the correct transmission in it?
The right front turn signal was broken off, and even when I replaced the bulb the light won't come on. I'm going to take the one on the left side off and borrow the cylindrical mystery from the line that the light cord plugs into and try it on the right side to see if that's what needs replacing.
It rattles the doors when idling because the idle is too low, which means it needs tuning.
It has no cold start setting on the carburetor; it won't set at high RPM when cold (Put the pedal to the floor and lift up, remove foot, start car), so I'm going to at Chemtone gasoline treatment to a tank of gas to get any gum out.
The brake light on the dash will stay on after I have released the parking brake, then I will notice it's off.
The air conditioner slider won't easily go to the cold setting, and I noticed the fuses for the A/C are removed from the fuse box. The connections seem broken to the slider, since it fights being moved. Is it easy to get the A/C up and running again if the pump is good?
Just at the top of my list...
