Just one more suggestion, if you use the search option at the top of the bulletin page you can find answers w/o having to post and wait for replies.

I ALSO HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IN AN EARLIER POST SOMEONE TOLD ME TO CHECK THE SMALL TUBES RUNNING TO MY AIR BOX, THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN MIXED AROUND. THE PROBLEM CAN ALSO BE FROM A CRACK IN THE INTAKE HOSE I'VE ALSO HAD THAT PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE HOSE FIXED IT FOR A WHILE. CHECK THESE FIRST. THE C...

PROBLEM?<BR>I'M SUPPOSING THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT REVERSE IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I DON'T HAVE ANY REAL TROUBLE,BUT IF YOU SLOWLY LET THE CLUTCH OUT WHILE PUTTING A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THE SHIFTER IT SHOULD SLIDE RIGHT IN AS YOU LET THE CLUTCH OUT. CAREFULLY DONE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS....

sorry to hear of the headache,<BR>my girlfriend recently had a similar problem with her 94' Celica. A low knocking around corners that seemed to change at times to making the sound under different circumstances. the problem ended up to be that she needed new struts. the sound was coming from the val...

oh-ho, think that i might have found the problem. just looked under the car and found a green wire that has been ripped from something, the end of the wire is frayed and the plastic coating streched. i tried to stretch the wire to its limit and see if i could figure out where it goes and don't see a...

thanks for the help. i've checked all of the things that have been suggested and to no avail. the pcv valve was recently changed, but i checked it anyway. hmmmm. this is really bugging me. i might have to just take it to a mechanic. if anyone has anymore suggestions thanks in advance.<P>Diesel

ABOUT THE REAR DEFROSTER, IT MIGHT BE DISCONNSCTED AT THE HATCH. CHECK IT AND SEE. THERE SHOULD BE A PLUG COMING FROM THE PLASTIC TO AN ATTACHMENT ON THE WINDOW DEFROSTER.(ON THE WINDOW). BE CAREFUL AGAIN...SOME TINT CAN NOT BE USED WITH A DEFROSTER. EVER SEEN A WINDOW WITH LINES OF BUBBLES IN THE T...

OH I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE CRUISE CONTROLL ON/OFF BUTTONS ARE ON MINE(U.S.) ALSO JUST A TIP, IF YOU GO TO GET THAT BUG OUT BE CAREFUL. IF YOU BREAK ANY PART OF THAT ASSEMBLY THE PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

WERE GETTING OFF THE SUBJECT ALITTLE, BUT I HAVE TO DEFEND THE CHILTON MANUAL. I USE ONE FOR EVERYTHING THAT I DO TO MY CAR. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE ONLINE MANUAL THE CHILTON IS PRETTY GOOD. ALSO F.Y.I. I GOT MINE AT BARNES AND NOBLE(A BIG BOOK STORE)DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE AROUND PA AND NY.

hey ya'll,<BR>been having a problem with my idle for a long time. when i release the gas it dropps to almost shutting the car off the n rockets back to about 1200 then goes to normal at about 750 rpm. i've recently replaced the plugs, wires, dist., oil and had a pressure check done(non-related). any...

hmmmm..... this sounds familiar. be careful when my car did the same thing i had i towed to MAZDA and they charged me 700 dollars to replace the distributor. ouch, luckily i talked them down to 350 after i told them if they wanted 700 they could keep the car, i was only kidding, but i guess he thoug...

p.s. if you do the work yourself be VERY careful not to mess up the splines on the shaft or tranny. line them up carefully and use a rubber mallet if needed to help them into the transmission.

i also had to get new drive shafts, i have since bought and replaced them four times, every time i used the auto zone rebuilt ones. i think that they are of lesser quality because of the number that i have replaced, but the labor was not too difficult or time consuming using my Chilton's Shop Manual.

you know what, the camaraderie and goofy antics are what make this site so interesting that i can spend hours upon hours just reading these posts.

shoot, about the earlier reply yopu heat the glue and then pull the lense off so that you can clean the inside. not sure though, might be that the plastic is just discolouring
