#3407 of 3496 Re: Ac turns off and on [4barrel] by aimeedev Aug 13, 2009 (1:47 pm)
Replying to: 4barrel (Aug 13, 2009 8:48 am) I went to Napa auto parts and the tech said it sounds simple like a switch but to be sure that I should go to the auto shop convieniently located behind them so I went to the automotive place and within 2 seconds the mechanic came back and said it is my blower motor, he said he banged it and it started working but that my motor was bad and I need to replace it which would cost 200+ dollars. I just wondered if I am being taken for a ride, right now the AC works but I am sure it will go out again and I was wondering if I should give in and take it back to the mechanic and get the new motor or take it somewhere else for a second opinio.

Replying to: aimeedev (Aug 13, 2009 1:47 pm) If it is just a blower motor, the part is about $70 and it takes about 30 minutes tops to change it. VERY easy, right behind the glove box.

Picked up a 1992 Corolla to add to my collection. I have a 2001, 2009 and now a 1992. I wish I still had my 1979 I got rid of in 1990. Anyway,the gentleman I purchased the car from said he never had the timing belt changed. The cars has 102,000 original miles on it. I believe the 1992 Corolla's were the last year to have the belts and then they went to chains. My question is, am I correct that this year Corolla was a non-interference engine? If it is, am I correct that I could drive this "92" until the belt actually broke with no internal engine damage? I believe the valves and the pistons won't collide in a non-interference engine if the timing belt breaks. Replies to this message: grandtotal (Aug 18, 2009 5:01 pm)

Replying to: terceltom (Aug 18, 2009 4:04 pm) 93-97 Corollas also had a belt. I believe that the 89-92 and 93-97 engines were non-interference. If the belt breaks you are stranded, but you won't have a wrecked engine.
#3411 of 3496 What is the number 3 in odometer area? by 2009buyer Aug 28, 2009 (10:10 am)
In trying to set the trip meter in the area where the odometer is, I am not able to get the miles driven to show up again. Called the dealership and they want me to come in for a service to reset it. Any one out there know how to get this taken care of? It is a large number 3 showing in the area where the miles driven was and can not get it out. The owner's manual shows the number 3 but does not say what it means or how to clear it.
#3412 of 3496 Warranty by biker4 Sep 05, 2009 (7:36 am)
Has anyone had an issue with the 60K/60mo powertrain warranty? Not the basic 36/36 one. I'm looking to buy an 07 Matrix and the previous owner had a coil/spark plug replaced at 39K and Toyota wouldn't cover it. What is excluded from the powertrain warranty?

#3413 of 3496 Dead Car by corollaownr Sep 05, 2009 (8:49 am)
I drive a 2003 Toyota Corolla and it has begun to miss a little when I'm on the road. I also noticed when I would start the car that it would start by turning over slowly then would speed up. Last night, it wouldn't start at all and I thought that it was the battery, but all the lights were on and they didn't dim when I would try to turn the motor on. There was no clicking noises.....nothing. Someone tested the battery and said it was fully charged. My son came and pushed me home......and when I got the car into the garage, it started like nothing happened. Anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this?

Replying to: biker4 (Sep 05, 2009 7:36 am) Spark plugs and coils and other engine parts are not part of the powertrain. Powertrain parts are basically the transmission and the drivetrain.

Replying to: biker4 (Sep 05, 2009 7:36 am) It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and you have to read the fine print on your warranty.   But I think this is what you want:   TOYOTA POWERTRAIN WARRANTY
#3416 of 3496 88 corolla distributor leaks oil, p/s rack seal too by kaimuki Sep 07, 2009 (9:04 pm)
1988 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles   I have oil leaking along the distributor shaft into the cap, then out and onto the trans and ground. I've already had the distributor off and replaced the o-ring on the shaft, but I'm told there is another o-ring or seal on the shaft. I'm pretty sure this is the oil leak, is it do-able? I'm pretty handy but not much experience on Toyotas (not that their distributors are any different than other cars).   Next, left side power steering rack seal is bad. Can the seal be replaced without taking the rack out of the car, does it make sense to replace only one seal or should I put in a reman rack?
