    2005 Corolla Front Disc/Pad Replacement

    2012 Corolla - Oil Change Decreased MPG

    I've been working on cars my whole life. Congratulations on being older than I am. That's quite an accomplishment. I fix vehicles that cost a hell of a lot more than your Corolla for a living. I know a thing or two. Even with what donabed said, to drop that much fuel economy due to a dirty...

    2012 Corolla - Oil Change Decreased MPG

    2015 Corolla S Horn?/FM Static

    From what I understand, thats the same thing you get when you have a large metal building between the antenna and a repeater. The metal in the trailer doesn't allow the radio waves to transmit through it. Someone who knows more about radio waves can feel free to correct me. Independent AMSOIL...

    That Looks Like It Hurt

    1988 Corolla Wagon- Not Firing

    I'm not sure on that engine as I've never worked on it. There are some distributor rotors that can be put on the correct way or 180 degrees the other direction. If the rotor is on backwards than it will supply spark to a cylinder that is not on tdc compression. The distributor cap can be...

    New Here With a Corolla and Advice

    Please stop this myth. Those K&N intake filters 9 times out of 10 do not increase flow and the 1/10 time it does, you severely lose filtering ability. If toyota could make a different filter that allows air in that much easier and still filters sufficiently, wouldn't they? Independent AMSOIL...

    2009 Climate Control

    The law is that manufacturers must have air systems default their ducting to the vent position should an error occur (like a broken motor). His issue is that, no matter where the knob is set, it only comes out of the defrost vents and will not come out any other vents. It will not change from...

    2009 Climate Control

    How easy is it to get to the blend door motor? The best thing to do would be to get the wiring diagram and check for proper voltage/ground at the harness to motor connector. If that is difficult to get to, move to the next connector up the line. They make cars so difficult to work on. That's...

    2009 Climate Control

    Does the 09 have electric or vaccuum controlled blend doors? All vehicles blend doors default in the vent position, meaning that if you have a vacuum leak and they are vacuum controlled then your A/C will switch to vent. If they are electrically controlled than the same thing goes but you're...

    What Size Winter Tires?

    Get bias ply tires. They are so much better than radials. I recently switched my 1967 tesla model Z to bias ply and my fuel economy went up tenfold. Okay, seriously though. If all tires are the same size, ABS will still function properly as it looks at a difference in wheel RPMs not vehicle...

    2009 Corolla - Cooling Fan Doesn't Operate On Full Power

    Watch the engine temp on your guage. It is definitely not exact but it is not intended to be exact. It is intended to give you an idea if your engine is within the operating range and does a good job at that. Get in the habit of checking all guages every minute or so while driving with just a...
