How to remove harmonic balancer on my 2000 toyota celica gt 1.8l
you need to loosen the alternator to get the belt off then undo the bolt on the harmonic balancer. If you can't remove the harmonic balancer with a few prys you'll need a puller. When putting it back on you'll need to line up the key with the groove in the crank. Once that's done put the belt back on push the alternator back and do up the bolts
Key unlocks but doesn't lock
Lube lock through key hole use a pliers and wiggle. Do not use too much force or you will damage key or lock. Try turning key upside down. If you have another key try that one too. Probably happening from lack of use. If that doesn't work pull off door panel and take lock out and take it to locksmith.
I got a 2000 toyota celica vvti 1800 when am cornering it seems to miss fire does anyone know what the problem is
It's hard to say exactly what the issue may be without more information. So, I am going to give you all I know that might apply.
I would begin my looking for moisture involving ignition components. Just drop of water, inside the distributor cap, for instance, could do that. If the distributor cap is completely dry, then start looking elsewhere.
Check wiring for cracking of the rubber or even a crack through to bare wire. The wiring shifts somewhat during cornering, and the "leakage" could become a short temporarily from the ignition wiring getting old and "leaky." You can further check this for previously 'invisible' cracks and shorts by opening the hood at night or in the dark (with good air flow through the room if inside), with the engine running. You are looking for an "aurora borealis" or Northern Lights appearance under the hood. f you do see it, you know that ignition wiring is long past due for replacement.
If the ignition wiring is "tight," continue looking for moisture or a place where wiring might be shorting out by coming into contact with a "grounding" metal surface during cornering.
Lastly, old gas stations with old underground tanks may contain water! Water in fuel can cause a host of problems, one being 'shorting' due to fireplugs failing to fire, among others. Add a bottle of 'Heat' to dissipate any moisture in your gas tank and see if you still have the same problem.
How do you adjust the valves
you need to state which engine you have. Sometime in the 90's a lot of Toyota motors went to a shim system for valve adjustment so the usual simple valve adjustment techniques are not used. Job for a dealer or toyota specialist shop. You need to have a good reason to adjust them anyway. What is the compression in each cylinder./Are the valves burned?
