You may get a response here, but why don't you try the toyota newsgroup?

He already did. He was directed by a respondent to take a look at AutoZone's online documentation (URL provided).

Guess he wants this handed to him on a silver platter, so he's tried independently posting the identical same thing here instead of crossposting as he should have from the beginning.

Mom's too cheap to buy a shop manual, huh? Or is she worried about a little knowledge being a dangerous thing so she wants to keep you from damaging her car by trying to learn on it?

If your 3E is anything like the '99 Tercel's 5E, you remove the air cleaner hose and intake manifold stay, and out she comes.

Which didn't really help.

crossposting

Do you use shop manuals? Do you consider their instructions to be handing it to you on silver platter?

Perhaps I should have anticipated not getting a helpful answer on the Toytota group, and crossposted it here originally.

No, she's 71 years old and on a low fixed income. I'm trying to save her some money on the repair, plus she could not get it done at a shop until Thursday because of closures for Christmas, and she's concerned about her car not starting reliably until then because she's crippled and can't walk anywhere.

I'm not learning on her car. I'm not a 17 year old kid.

I've found a toyota forum where someone recommends disconnecting the starter cable and wires and one mounting bolt from underneath the car, removing the air cleaner and then removing the other mounting bolt from the top. I'm not looking forward to jacking up the car on a gravel driveway and crawling underneath it in this weather.
