Step # 1 - STOP. Step # 2 - Don't replace any further parts and keep the staff at discount auto parts stores smiling when they see you coming! Step # 3 - Diagnose the problem and if you aren't experienced enough to do this, pay a professional automotive technician to do it for you...

Welcome to the site Carrie. Glad to have you here. :)

Where the oil is a solid line is the reading on the dipstick that is correct

The missing bolt you should be able to find at any hardware store. As for the water, pump, any auto parts store should have one in stock and you can just physically look at it to see what it includes. Good luck with it.

http://www.Car-Part.com Use this website to locate a 1996 Corolla, call the automotive recycling yard that has that car and you should be able to find a plethora of power steering pump reservoirs. What I question is, how in blue blazes did the power steering pump reservoir get so badly...

Hello and welcome. :)

Welcome to the Toyota Corolla forum! :thumbup: If there is spark, compression and fuel, an engine should start. If the auto tech is being honest and there is no compression, (or they just didn't know how to perform a compression test), then something is not allowing the valves to open and...

The problem is warped brake rotors and is fairly common these days because of the low quality brake rotors that are so prevalent. This should be covered under warranty and the brake rotors replaced. Another thing that can cause the brake rotors to warp is someone using an air gun to tighten...

My pleasure. Keep in mind that discount auto parts store personnel tend to be very inexperienced and not that knowledgeable. My website doesn't reflect the discounts I can get for you. How many miles a year do you drive your Corolla, how often is the oil changed and how much does each oil...

Car values are determined by the prices a given vehicle is selling at, so they are pretty accurate. They aren't just made up values. The listed Kelly Blue Book value for your Corolla is $9,234...

By the way, the underside of that valve cover has some petroleum oil sludge/varnish stains on it. It's not at a serious point yet, but petroleum oil sludge and varnish coats metal surfaces with that discoloration we see in the photograph and this doesn't allow engine heat to dissipate as...

The product application guide at my website lists two engines for the 1995 Toyota Corolla, either the 1.6 or 1.8 litre and both engines are supposed to be using a 10W-30 viscosity, per Toyota engineers. Oil is the lifeblood of an engine and in order to properly protect the engine it's a very...

Dropped a nut...sounds like one of those personal problems. :D

You can add the missing nut later, no problem. A Toyota dealerships Parts Department should have the nut for you. Failing that, a local junkyard should have many of those Toyota engines for you which you can get the nut from. However, get that nut installed as soon as you can as even low-end...

Get a replacement for that lost nut. That's very important or it wont seal and you'll have an oil leak, as well as letting dirt into the engine.

Sludge, gum and varnish build up from the use of petroleum oils can cause the piston rings to stick and not function properly, i.e. allow oil to enter the combustion chamber where it is burned and sent out with the exhaust. The cure is to change the oil using a quality engine flush to help...

On-topic contributions are welcome. Spams for money loans are not. Spammers will be banned.

Yes, you can mix the viscosity's but it's best to have the same viscosity and type of oil. Using an oil that thick in a modern engine has many drawbacks and in some cases can even cause the oil pump to prematurely wear out as the oil is so thick and comparatively hard to pump. What year is...

Having high beams on in foggy conditions very much reduces visibility.

You can perform these regular maintenance items yourself and save a whole lot of money. I suggest going to Advance Auto Parts and telling them that you need a spray can of throttle body cleaner and it should have instructions on the can on how to use it. If not, contact the company directly...
