Hi there:Sounds like to have a fuel pump that is shorted out or has too much resistance, this can cause to much of a current draw and blow the fuse. The EFI fuse supplies voltage to the EFI relay and then the fuel pump.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

tire pressure.

to reset the anti-theft, put key in ignition, turn to on but do not start, you must leave in ON position for exactly 10 minutes, once the light shuts off, immediately start car.

check the spiral cable assy. directly behind the steering wheel

having done Toyota parts in the past, that part number sounds like it is --maybe-- actually the Nippon Denso electrics component supplier part number for the part, rather than the Toyota replacement part number. Denso numbers often had part numbers grouped 5+4 like that...Toyota numbers are almost always 5+5 part numbers

Have you checked the lamps themselves for the back up lights to come on. I did not se that in your comment.

how is resetting going to give you better gas mileage --but -disconnect the battery for a few minutes

Broken ground

Make sure the shift lever on the transmission is actually shifting the shaft that selects the gears.....Something is slipping where you installed the bushing.....Check for proper cable adjustment....Apply the E- Brake while working with cable to prevent accidental runaway........

Nothing special but also replace the transmission-inner joint seal also and top up the transmission oil.

is drivers side wheel well a single relay. there is a u tube video for that car

it shouldn't have gear oil usually power steering fluid or transmission oil if it's pinkish water got into it somewhere try draining and refilling with new oil

what is your engine light code telling you maybe it's a fuel problem fuel pump

usually under the hood drivers side by the battery

sounds like the water is the culprit I think you should check your coil boots and spark plugs reset the computer by turning on the key to on position take off negative terminal on the battery leave it off for 2 minutes put it back on and the light should go out do you have a code reader it should tell you the code for your problem

have a wheel alignmennt indicates excessive caster measurement

if the dealer can get them , they will be on e-bay if the dealer has to get them in so can you

Yes - ABSOLUTELY C_maina, Here in the USA places like AUTOZONE (personal opinion = yuk) do FREE readings... ("FREE" can be pretty costly). Typically giving them (A-zone) the OPPORTUNITY to sell new OXYGEN SENSORS... (the intellectual equivalent of buying a new THERMOMETER because you have a fever (the "NEW" oxy sensors TYPICALLY complain as well as the old ones... ERGO... this is a suggestion I would recommend SKIPPING... ((at least not BEFORE Sherlock Holmes ... has eliminate EVERY other possibility (like throttle position sensor: TPS)). 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA 1 8L L4 Throttle Position Sensor TPS RockAuto Your car is the right age where your trouble could be anything from collapsing catalytic convertor/muffler, or any over fueling condition... My very best suggestion... See if you have any EXHAUST shops that perform "FREE" READS... Possibly bring those "reads" back here for another (better ...more detailed) FIXYA answer. Cross check their PARTS PRICES with your available sources on the internet (so at least you can negotiate a BETTER PRICE).

It is not a big deal. All the windows need re-learn after the battery is disconnected. To re-learn do the following steps: 1. Sit on a driver's seat. Switch on the ignition. 2. Push the window button to open the driver's window and and keep the button pressed for 3 to 5 seconds after the glass touches the bottom and release the button. 3. Similarly do the same to close the window. 4. Do the same with all the remaining windows one by one. 5. Now after all the windows are re-learned, they should now be operated with a driver's master switches. Good Luck and thank you for visiting Fixya.
