Just call your local advance auto or auto zone and give them your model, make, and engine size and they will be able to give you all the information you need.

The TAIL pipe is at the rear of the car behind the muffler at the very rear (hence the word TAIL) You need to check the HEAD pipe. there are bolts and a gasket there, so have a shop check it out, or the dealer.

When replacing a PCV valve you must use the correct one for the engine. Many valves look alike on the outside, but have different mechanical values. Putting the incorrect valve on a vehicle can cause driveability problems.

1. Pull the PCV valve from the valve cover.

1. Remove the hose from the valve.
   
2. Check the valve for proper operation. While the valve is removed, the hoses should be checked for splits, kinks and blockages. Check the vacuum port (that the hoses connect to) for any clogging.
3. Inspect the rubber grommet the PCV valve fits into. If it is in any way deteriorated or oil soaked, replace it.

not sure where but i am positive that its a ground problem. if you add a ground to the blower motor i am sure that it will work and might even get others back as well. or you can check all your groundsu

Don't crank that engine over is the first thing you do. Take out th eplugs and turn the engine by hand to it's marks. Take the belt off, check it for marks, yes, no? If no, how about the old one? Does it have marks on it? Match them up to the new one. and make marks, , turn the left cam over to it's mark, does it have two? Turn the other side over to it's mark. put the belt on, crank mark on the crank mark, cam marks on the cam marks, don't line up? It should, If the engine hits the valves, you will have to turn the cams at the same time by hand so they don't hit, don't force anything, if you get the belt on there without moving the engine, spin it around a couple times to make sure it stays on it's marks. I hope you didn't do any damage already by trying to start it. Hope this helps.

it sounds like a pipe leaking common place is pipe feed to the engine that runs under the car , it wont leak while car is running as the gas is being pumped around and not sat still in the pipe id check your full feed pipe to the engine for any splits .

You add your fluid in the same tube that your dipstick is in.

I believe that is the power steering pump belt

Try moving gear lever from park to neutral then starting, if does not start check starter relay, solenoid or ignition switch, contacts could be worn

It is inside the blower box with the expansion valve

1987 camry starter ignition wire going into fuse box has 12v nothing going out of the fuse box going to starter

The thermostat gasket is leaking,most likely.

If it has set up for too long I would try filling up with premium fuel. I am not sure if that has points but if it does under the distributor cap the points can become corroded and make the motor spit and sputter. Otherwise from the camry's I have seen that have sat always ended up having fuel problems. Hope this helps!

The best way is to use the amount that was for 12 as a guild and use the pressure gauge as the test the low side should be just high enough to keep the compresser running with the engine reved up ( highway speed constant) it will be right at the low end of the blue end of the gauge and it should stay below the high end of the blue at idel. if it goes too high it won't cool very well or not at all. The more freon after youhit staying on the less cooling you'll get so try to put in as little as possible just to keep it on and it'll be as cool as it will get. ( not very good ) The old cars don't cool very well on 134A. A new compressor and a comdenser for 134A and the expansion valve too and they still doen't do very well. Make sure everything is as clean as you can get it ( raditor, condenser, Grill, Fan, (running fast). and it might get cool enough that you'll drive with the windows closed ( it's that bad). The cars too old to go though changing all the parts too the sizes that work good in the 93 and newer Camery. And the fitting of these sizes of parts may not really work.

Most likely one of two other things. Either both bulbs are burnt out (can happen) or the fuse for the brake lights is shot. Can test either with a volt meter on continuity test.

There should be a idle air control that controls this,it is most likely the problem.
