1992 Toyota Tercel Questions & Answers
I have a 92 tercel that the hc is too high at
Has the car triggered any OBD codes (ie check engine light goes on) which would help diagnose the problem?
I do not know a way to do "naturally" (no additives or cleaners).
Regardless....since the fuel additive helped once, an approach is too assume that the engine is just real dirty .... so you might try:
1-Add another batch of fuel additive cleaner
2-Pull the spark plugs and clean them ... they are likely to still have some carbon buildup
3-Put in new air filter
4-Clean the MAF (mass air flow) sensor which is in the air intake (between the air filter and engine). Use a MAF spray cleaner, and a Throttle Body spray cleaner (which also, cleans the iac (idle air control) valve.
92 tercel wont start.
Make sure the white wire to the pump has a good ground connection to the chassis. Then trace the power through the circuit opening relay. This is the most likely problem, as this is a dual relay. The relay coil gets battery positive from the starter relay, which you know is working or the starter would not turn. Check to make sure the white wire has a good ground connection. see diagram below.
92 dlx tercel, cranks fine, won't fire. No prior start issues in 17 yrs.
Igniter usually. You need a few things. Do you have fuel? To the carb not just in the fuel tank. And do you have spark? Check all plugs. Turn car over with a plug wire removed and see if you have spark otherwise you need to diagnose air intake or compression. Usually igniter if you have no spark.
Hope this helps.
Where is the fuel pump cut off located in a 1992 toyota tercel??
If the vehicle has an inertia fuel pump shut off, details of the location will be in the vehicle handbook.
Some early cars didn't have the inertia switch and the fuel pump relay relied on a connection to the oil pressure warning light or ignition light or similar so if the engine stopped so did the fuel pump.
Most inertia switches are fitted behind the passenger footwell plastic kick panel or visibly in the engine compartment. A few early examples were fitted in the spare wheel well.
Headlights wont turn on
First thing to check is the fuse. If that is good check both of the lamps. I have had both blow on me with in minutes of each other so that is not probable but possible. If that is not it you need to start looking into the switch itself.
