My son just got a 91 camry for 2500 bucks with 56, 500 miles-one owner well kept. He will use this to drive to college 8 hrs away every semester.
I got an estimate on having the timing belt and water pump replaced from a Toyota deaker for 448.00 bottom line. Its time for this due to age of car and milage
The car has two fan belts I large which was just replaced and a smaller one at the bottom of the engine which Im going to have the dealer replace. Also will have the dealer repalce the three? crank seals. I replaced the plugs, dist cap, rotor and wires as well as the engine oil and filter and t-stat.
Here is my problem-the heater blows cold air only. The cooling system fluids were dirty brown and I was able to back flush the system and the heater core until water ran clean. I replaced the t-stat too. The valve on the firewall does open and close and the hoses in and out of the core are hot. Still the heater blows cold air only! Anybody have any ideas?
We need to pass state insp and replace the timing belt and waterpump to make this car safe for the 8 hr trip to school. I hate to have the kid spend the dough for a new heater core when in fact the problem is something else. Any insight is appreciatd!
