1983 Toyota Celica Questions & Answers
My car has water in the oil
If you have water in your oil then sadly you have probably cracked the head or similar allowing the coolant to pass into the cylinder then down into the sump. If she is all you have you could dismantle and have a look in there to see what damage is done, but might not be worth it.
You should be able to see if you have lost a frost plug, it's probable that initially, the steam came from a radiator hose, and once she lost her coolant It overheated causing the head to crack. It won't be just the head gasket. Good luck

Hi Ι repair 2T engine from celica TA22
right as i remember the points adjustment is 19/22 th with the mitsubishi heavy industries distributor ,now as these old fashioned distributors do wear then make sure the points are checked with a dwell meter afterwards which should be around 55% ,as for the tappets 12 inlet and 14/15 exhaust will suffice ,but when adjusting allow for wear under the arm where it strikes the valve ,what i do is adjust the tappets by the rule of 9 then start engine up with rocker cover off and sort of feel any that are noisey and re adjust them to allow for this wear ,Now to adjust the tappets use the rule of 9 ,this is as follows -1 down adjust 8 -----2 down adjust 7----3 down adjust 6------4 down adjust 5 and so on .When its up and running and running nice then for the idle make sure the CO2 is below .2% by adjusting the air blled screw on the bottom of the cab in line with the butterfly although it will run better on idle if CO2 is slightly higher but the emmisions test says it has to be below the specified figure .

1983 toyota celica the fuse keeps breaking from a
There must a short somewhere. When more power than the fuse can handle goes through the wire to the fuse it blows. You short or loose connection. The only way to fix it is too take the dash apart and drop the gas tank and check the wires aren't damaged or corroded. It is a real pain in the neck as most wiring maladies are. Hope this helps.

Hi. I will be glad to provide assistance to you, with the hope that I will get a FixYa rating from you for my advice.
My experience leads me to tell you to check the rear driveshaft u-joint. The way that you describe this would be a worn or seized u-joint situation. Get it checked; I'll bet that that is your issue.
Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.
