1992 Toyota Previa - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Probably a failing catalytic converter.

Your EFI is not working, therefore, you have to replace it to get your
car running. Just send in your e-mail for further assistance.

If you have a known good starter on it and all the wiring to starter and relay is good, you may have a locked up (siezed) engine from lack of oil pressure or runnung hot. I would try turning engine by hand (put a socket and ratchet on the balancer bolt) and try turning it, if it doesn't turn then it is locked up.

always lay on floor and look up thats how screws are put in.

I found the filter at the front of the block under the car.

gearbox problem

if this is the 92 camry very easy put the car up on ramps or on jack stands set the emergency brake. the transmission pan is the one closest to the driver side of the vehicle start removing the bolts with an 8mm or 10mm socket you want to remove them from one side to the other to allow the pan slant to one side so the fluid does not get everywhere have your drain pan under it to catch the fluid. have fluid has finished draining take pan the rest of the way down and remove filter is is bolted in two or three bolts remove and replace with new one. remove any trash from pan magnet and pan replace gasket and put back together should take about 4 quarts to fill back up put in one at a time and check level

plugs, wires, air-filter, oil change and filter ck battery ck lights all fluids ,serpentine belt if needed replace broken lights etc

Is the smoke black-ish ?
It could be the fuel filters are dirty..

The oil cap might have the recomended oil on the top.. Or in your manuel..

To be sure - call you local discount auto parts store - and they will tell you..

Hope this helps !!
Please rate me good ;o)

hi the timming marks are on the plastic case thanks brian

take apart the dash and fix the actuator door.take a look at the air conditioning pipes first...are they frosted with ice?that means teh a/c is working but not getting into the cabin.if the pipes are not cold and there is no clicking from the compressor,the a/c is not working.
a relay,pressure switch,or compressor is suspect if the a/c not working

hi friend,

1.With the car started (ignition on), set the LCD odometer readout to total mileage (not trip A or B).
2.Turn the car off (ignition key to the OFF position).
3.Push in AND HOLD the button/knob that switches the odometer
4.Turn key to ON position without starting the car. You will notice the maintenance light blink and go out.
5.Release the odometer button/knob.
6.Turn key to OFF position.
7.That's it! The "MAINT REQD" light has been reset to warn you to change your oil in another 5,000 or 7,500 miles or so thank u for using fixya regards, sivaranjini

wiring loom is faulty get it checked or it can fry your car!

is it manul or automatic either way you have to do the following remove prop shaft then unbolt the gearbox from engine then unbolt the gearbox mount and lower via a jack and pull back and the clutch is there in front of you six more bolts and its in your hand refitting is the reverse of removel you will be able to doit on the ground and use good axel stands and jacks

yes it is the head gasket the compression is is leaking in to the cooling circut, take out the plugs and see if any is a orange colour if so to repair it you will have to buy a new head , gaskets head bolts other wise it will not last a 1000km

most likely its ur battery is almost dead

I think from memory its on the floor near the drivers seat they sometimes get hidden by the floor mat.
if not there its on dashboard and looks like a bonnet/hood release lever.
Hope this helps

need a better description mrs ,like does the steering wheel shake ,does the car wobble at slow speeds .Better still as this vehicle is over 10 yrs old trade it in on plan new and get 2000euros back against a new car

there will be an electrical connector that is protruding from the blower motor housing. If you disconnect this connector then unbolt the housing then the resistor comes right out.

check fuses , maybe all thats wrong;
