1995 Toyota Avalon - Page 6 Questions & Answers
I replaced my fuel pump
Can you check you fuel pressure? It could be the fuel injectors. Check the fuel filter as well. I suggest a crank sensor. Do you have a check engine light on? If so, get it read. If it is a sensor, it should pick it up. No need changing stuff that don't need changed. Can you get it read at Autozone? Let me know what they say. Is the pump all you changed? I am here to help. Just let me know.
My 1995 toyota avalon runs
Could be your fuel pump. When it runs see if you can hear your fuel pump running, should be a low humming noise towards middle rear of vehicle. When the vehicle goes dead, keep the key in the on postion see if you still hear the fuel pump running. Also while it is running check to see if the temperature gause goes way up. It may be overheating, because of low coolant, or have a bad thermostat sensor and think its overheating and shutting its self off. If these check out it could also be a clogged fuel filter. Without being there its a tough call.
I have a 1995 Toyota Avalon XLS. Something keeps
So you have a parasitic power drain when the system is off. You can narrow the fault quite quickly if you have access to an ammeter (multimeter set to DC current). connect the ammeter in series between the battery negative terminal and its cable. Note the power consumption when everything is off. Remove and return each fuse in turn and each time note the current change. Check them all just to be thorough. There will be one circuit fuse that will be responsible for the majority of the current draw. It is this circuit that needs to be examined for a short or maybe a light being left on (glove compartment and trunk courtesy lights are the usual culprits). It maybe that you cannot spare the time immediately to resolve the issue so in the mean time leave this fuse out and reconnect the battery, which should now hold its charge. Good luck
Timing marks and degrees
Align the cam sprockets to the top of the engine with the little arrows on the head. Then you will notice the belt is aligned on the crankshaft at the bottom of the engine with the keyway facing slightly to the left (11 o'clock position or so). It will not be straight up. There is a little "o" mark on the crankshaft sprocket which aligns with a mark on the new belt. Getting these marks exact requires writing down their exact locations before removing the old belt. Don't try it from memory unless you are a trained toyota factory technician. The cam sprockets at the top of the engine are lettered "R" and "L". The new timing belt will have corresponding letters. The timing belt has to be placed on with the letters reversed as they are facing you (as the "R" cam is actually on your left as you face the engine from the passenger side). My job turned out excellent. Cost me less that $50 bucks. I did not change the tensioner although it is recommended. My theory is that it will last until the second timing belt job since it does not have a lot of moving parts and is enclosed and lubricated constantly.

The only way to do this job without spring compressers is to buy the entire assembly with the coil springs and change out the entire strut.This is NOT a job to be tried unless you have the right tools.These things can put a world of hurt on you and can send you to hospital if you don't take care! YOU MUST compress the coil springs,you will never get them on the new struts if you don't. Try your nearest rental place maybe they have a set.Please be carefull and good luck.
I need instructions on how to put on a timing belt
You have to remove all
the brackets holding the top of the engine on the passenger side of the
car,
alternator, power steering, and A/C belts. Then you can get to the
plastic
covers that enclose the timing belt. The large bolt holding the
harmonic balancer was a hard one for me - had to use a large air impact
(fortunately my neighbor has a tire business and had a huge compressor
on the back of his truck).
Align the cam sprockets to the top of the engine with the little arrows

The
new timing belt will have corresponding letters. The timing belt has to
be
placed on with the letters reversed as they are facing you (as the "R"
cam
is actually on your left as you face the engine from the passenger
side).
There should be an emissions label under the hood (the front of the car)
and near that there should be a diagram showing how the belt is routed
just buy the correct belt and put it on but be carefull cause the belt
has to tensioned correctly or it will fall off.
Leak from front of engine after radator
if you didn't replace hoses check them for holes ,make sure they are all properly connected and tight,check the drain valve on radiator to make sure it is closed all the way
1995 toyota avalon, overheating,just changed
I do not see a good connection between the serpentine belt and the engine overheating suddenly.
Perhaps you have a lot of burnt belt rubber on the water pump pulley?
Is the upper radiator hose hot? If so the stat is opening. If you start the car cold with the radiator cap off you can watch for coolant starting to flow and make sure the stat works...if the flow is low you have either a blocked stat or poor belt grip at the waterpump. Have you flushed the radiator recently? After 15+ years your car could be ready for a cleaning.
