From what I understand, the evap system works when refueling and when the car is running. When refueling the excess air in the tank is forced through the charcoal canister, scrubbed and clean air is released through the air drain. When running, vapors in the tank are sucked into the canister and...

01 Echo. I went to get a tire replaced today that had a broken belt and the guy told me my tires are dry rotted and all should be replaced. They're Hankook 175/65/R14 w/ about 36K miles and about 3 yrs. old. The salesman told me tires only last 4 years. What do you think? Thanks

02 Echo. The RF tire pulls to the right and there is a noticeable shimmy at about 50 mph. I looked at the suspension and didn't see anything wrong. I pulled the tire and noticed a kind of indentation or slope to the tread as pictured. Tread is good on the rest of the tire. Any ideas on what...

01 Echo, 188K miles, AT, fluid level good. I think I might be slipping a bit going into 1st gear. Is there any way for a tranny shop to give the tranny a check up and tell me the state of the thing? Or is it a case of you just have to wait until it breaks? Thanks

I'm getting noise from my exhaust. I included some pics. It's coming out the hole in the pipe that joins to the catalytic converter. The hole is perfectly round so it doesn't seem like it's worn through (though of course maybe it is). Any ideas on what's causing the noise? The noise is typical...

What tool would be good to get this off? I was going to try a screwdriver and try and pry it off but I don't want to break it. It's body molding on an 01 Echo. Thanks

I was trying to remove the EFI fuse to clear a DTC but it wouldn't come out and I ended up cracking the cover off. How can I get it out? Thanks

Either the bolt is stripped or the pan itself. Can you tell by looking at the bolt in the pic? If it's the bolt can I just replace it or do I need to do anything with the oil pan threads? I think it came from over tightening, as I had to tighten that thing with a breaker bar or it would leak...

01' Echo, 188K miles, 4 cyl, 1500CC. If I accelerate gently or "normally" the car accelerates fairly decently, about the same as always. Today I basically floored it but all it did was rev and I got no acceleration. Is this normal or an issue? Thanks

A piece of exterior molding fell off my 01 Echo. It looks like there is a lot of bubbling under there as well as the plastic mounts appear to have melted. Any idea what could have caused this? How would I get the molding back on with those melted mounts? Thanks pic

I have an oil leak at certain points where the the oil pan connects to the engine. I don't know if it's visible from the pics, but the dark black is the oil. It also is coming from where the crank pulley connects to the engine. What could be causing it? It's a 95 Tercel. Thanks leak 01 leak...

Is this something I have to get from Toyo or can I get it after market? It’s a little fastener that fits into the top edge of a bumper cover and then a 10mm screw goes into it via the trunk to hold the cover on. Basically it functions like a nut so the screw has something to hold the cover on...

I want to clean my battery of corrosion and I see that the clips that attach to the terminals have a thick lubricant on them. What should I be using to lubricate them with? Thanks

Both my tail lights areas are leaking. Getting rear ended in the past may be the cause. The water is coming in from the little crevices and spaces in the steel, hard to say where the original source is. What sort of substance would be a good sealant? Thanks

I am doing my front brakes and when I pushed the caliper cylinder back with the tool shown and a used brake pad the boot around the cylinder started to bulge out and won't go back in flush. Is this an issue, if so what can I do? I try to squeeze it back in but it doesn't hold or another spot...

I have to do some drilling into metal. Advice is to use a a cutting oil, Kroil or transmission fluid. I have some engine coolant, could I use that? Thanks

I was taking the under engine cover off. I thought the bolts were turning but they just sheared off, very rusty. Any idea how I can get the remnants out of the frame. The picture of the frame is looking up at what's left of the two bolts. Thanks bolts sheared off whole bolt
