1998 Toyota Corolla - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do you get the back seat down in a 1998 Toyota Corolla because I'm locked out of trunk
I'm assuming yours is a saloon style body shape. The seats are not designed to drop like in a hatch back or an estate car so you will need to remove the rear seats completely. You remove the seat base pad first. Run your hand between the base of the cushion and the floor panel it rests on. You should find two positions where it is fastened down. These are large 'push in' clips so a good firm pull upwards should release them. This will reveal three screws across the bottom edge of the backrest cushion, left, right and centre. Remove these and the seat pad should swing out at the bottom and unhook across the top edge. This should give you access to the metal body panel separating the trunk from the rest of the car. There are holes in this panel so you should just need to push your way past the trunks carpet liner.
Refitting the seat pads is easy. Hook the back rest into place and if positioned correctly you three screw holes should line up nicely to refit the screws. Position the seat base pad back edge first then use the tips of your fingers to make sure the push in clips are lined up. Then simply use your body weight downwards to 'pop' the clips back in.

TOYOTA COROLLA SEDAN 1986. MY CAR RADIO WAS NOT
seeing that this was 10 years ago... and you most likely either fixed the issue, or sold the car i will give it a go, since i currently own a 1986 Toyota Corolla Sedan (5 speed) --
the problem can range from blown fuses on the Positive terminal post of the battery; to it not making good connection with the battery posts ( i would Clean them, to rule out poor contact surface )
If the car lights up, but nothing happens when you turn the key to engage the starter motor, either the starter has gone bad, or the battery is low.
If you hear the starter Click, you don't have enough power to turn it.
If you place a booster pack on it, and it still does the same thing, it's shot. ( The starter)
If it can turn over, but doesn't fire, then it's probably spark plugs.
(Press the gas peddle about 5 - 6 times or as needed)
( This send small spurts of gas into the manifold, below the carb. Makes it easier to start on cold day. or if has been sitting for a long time. )
if it's not doing anything, then you may need to see if it's pumping fuel from the gas tank into the carb. -- This can also be caused from a clogged fuel filter.

08 corolla sputtering
You need to start from the basics and do a compression test to see if you have even compression on all cylinders. If it is considerably lower on one or more cylinders it could be burnt valves or head gasket leaking. If the compressions are all close then you can eliminate the valves and head gasket and look for intake gasket moved out or faulty coil or injectors. Start from the basics and work up from there, if you start replacing parts without the diagnosis then you can waste money on parts you don't need.
