My bet is that your Corolla does not have a wire running from the back of your connector on the steering wheel to pin #40 on the ECM harness under the hood. This wire is not very difficult to add.. Please check out www.rostra.com and lookup form 5156. Page 6 of this .pdf document has a very...

Hi Aaich I will stress this several times in this posting - Please remember to disconnect your negative battery terminal for at least 20 minutes before you begin any work. This will allow the capacitor in the airbag system to fully discharge and prevent the airbag from deploying. I have...

Not sure about your mechanical inclination so giving a guess on difficulty and time would be hard. As you have probably seen on You Tube, you have to remove the airbag unit from the front of the steering wheel. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MOST IMPORTANTLY, MOST IMPORTANTLY - disconnect the negative...

Sounds like the mechanic might have loosened the AC belt in the process of tightening the alternator.

The Haynes manual says 44 Ft Lbs for the 1.6 liter using the torque sequence in the picture. It might be best to divide the 44 Ft. Lbs into 2 passes. The first at 22 Ft. Lbs and the second to 44.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your original post? If you need to hold the crankshaft bolt to get the AC lock down nut loose, there is something else going on here. Please send more of a description..

The PS pump will make noises when you get it extended all the way one direction or the other. As Scott said, it will be best to start by looking at the condition of the belts. If they are old and dried out, that's a good starting point. If the PS belt looks okay, make sure it's tight enough...

The 93 through 97 Corollas have three separate belts; one to drive the Alternator-Water Pump, one for AC Compressor and one for Power Steering Pump. The PS belt is driven by a double-wide pulley that mounts on the front of the water pump. Three possibilities come to mind here: 1. The mounting...

Given your winter driving conditions, I would probably be more concerned with rust than the motor wearing out. I have a 94 Corolla that my son drives. It has 254000 miles. (..I think that's just over 400,000Km if I'm doing the math right..) It still runs fine, and luckily here in the southwest...

Hi, Please accept my apologies for the late response. I just saw your question this morning. I went with the OEM Toyota parts and bought them online. Website and vendor details are listed below: Toyota Parts Discounters of Central Florida Orlando, FL, 32810 http://www.partswebsite.com...

The lock down nut isn't a reverse thread. It's just a PITB to loosen it if it's been on there for any length of time. (..you can't really use WD40 because of the close proximity to all of the belts..) If you have an offset box wrench that will usually work. Be careful not to round off the bolt...

I was thinking about this post for a while last night. (..my son has the same car..) Another possibility - that involves a very easy/no cost fix - is that you might have loosed or damaged one of the electrical ground connections when you were cleaning the engine. I know of at least two ground...

Is it possible that you have changed the calibration of the Throttle Positioning Sensor? (..or maybe you still have water inside its connector..?) I have seen symptoms very much like what you are describing when one or both of the screws become loose. The TPS is a black colored sensor on the...

I have a 2013 Corolla that I bought about a week ago. Out of curiosity I plugged in an OBDC reader and I have discovered that the EVAP monitor has not completed its cycle. There is no DTC being generated, it just hasn’t finished that one monitor test. All other monitors complete their tests...

Now that the vehicle starts, are you still using the same key that wouldn't start it before? If so, that eliminates the un-chipped key as a possible cause.

I have seen this exact same behavior on my 2009 when I tried to start it with a copied key that hadn't been "chipped" into the computer. Do you have another key that you can try?

How many miles are on the car? If it's past 90K have the plugs been changed?

A few days ago I posted a thread asking for info on how to add cruise control to a Toyota Corolla. Thanks to all who provided help.. After a looking around a little bit I was able to find cross-reference part numbers for several manufacturers who make a stalk switch that will fit every Corolla...
