| Hello I just purchased a 1993 toyota corolla manual 5speed. It runs great, but when I first start it up it idles so low the car begins to shake a little bit then it shuts off. It seems that if i give it a few RPM'S for about 1 minute or drive it for a while then it goes away. There has been fresh gas put in the tank but im guessing that maybe since the car was sitting in the impound lot for about 6 months that maybe I need to put an additive in the tank to clean the injectors. Does anyone think that It could be something else maybe serious. | |

I have an 07 and 2010 Corolla which 'wander'. Replaced tires on 07, checked wheels & alignment and for damaged suspension--problem continues. One person said it's due to solid rear axle-- no remedy. (Worst-handling FWDs I've had!) Anyone else notice this? any success in making these things track reliably?

Replying to: terceltom (Aug 05, 2009 1:47 pm) I am having trouble getting around having the dealership do the oil change as it is a min 2 hour wait and they charge $49 for a simple oil change. So for this second scheduled oil change, went to a local vendor. They replaced the oil, then when they tried looking for a filter said that they did not have the right filter and a special tool to change out the old filter. So I have half an oil change. I bought a filter at auto store and they said you have to get the special tool at the dealership. Called the dealership, they said they are not allowed to sell the special tool that Toyota provides them with and I would have to pay for a full oil change. Called another Toyota dealership, they said there is no special tool, you just have to have the right kind of wrench. No one knows where to buy this wrench and the dealership won't tell me what kind it is. I am determined even more not to be ripped off by the dealer, The dealer said if I do not replace this filter before the next change, my warranty is voided. They went on and on about if there is engine trouble the manufacturer will require receipts for all work done on the car not at the dealership and it voids the warranty of I do not have them. Anyone out there have some advice on this? |

Good morning We have signed the contract to dump my old minivan and buy a new Corolla. We are exiting to wait for the C4C money. The dealer did not mentioned about College Grad Rebate Program. We did sign the contract w/o knowing about it last Wednesday. Now, I just suddenly found out about the $1000 College Grad Rebate Program. How can I do to get it. The car is in two names and both my wife and I are eligible for it (She graduated BS this year, and I am finishing my MS) Could someone please advice what should I do. My mistake is not to research well b4 buying the car. Like most people, we were driven to the dealer because of the C4C Thank you all, have great Sunday |

Replying to: 2009buyer (Aug 08, 2009 10:14 pm) ============================================================== 65mm 14 flute from NAPA for $8.99 or SST 09228-06500-02 from http://toyota.spx.com/detail.aspx?id=877 don't use a combination 65/67mm one as they dont grip 100% Your dealer is definitely ripping you off...My dealer charges about $38 for a complete change and checkup and I thought that was high (western USA). Heck, My dealer even sells a 3rd party oil wrench for the 09 Corolla at their parts dept ...On a display rack no less!!! NON XRS 09 rolla engine, you may find this thread interesting...step by step changing with info! http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=244334 Good luck...But be careful, I understand the filter housing is mostly plastic (as is the rest of the car ..LOL) BTW: DO KEEP ALL RECEIPTS AND A DETAILED LOG OF YOUR WORK...THEY WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, GIVEN THE SHOT!
