Does the car stop misfiring once the engine is at operating temperature? In other words does it only misfire when cold?

Do you guys know if the 99 corolla is part of the big toyota recall?

Thank you Scott. I will consider Amsoil when I am due for my next oil change. I only require 4 quarts maybe 5 to top off in between drain intervals. I will message you when the time comes. Question, can I purchase 5 quarts or do I have to buy Costco style which is to say in bulk? I am...

Thanks Donabed. I will do just that. I am currently running Mobil 1 Advance Full Synthetic High Mileage (5w30): http://www.autozone.com/motor-oil-and-transmission-fluid/engine-oil/mobil-high-mileage-engine-oil-sae-5w-30-1-qt-/835343_0_0/ Do you see any benefits for using a full synthetic high...

I have noticed since my last oil change that I am burning a quart of oil every 1200 to 1300 miles. Could this be due to the fact that I switched to mobile 1 5w30 full synthetic? The previous owner was using 10w 30. Which viscosity of oil do you use? And is it ok to top off using non synthetic...

Update: I removed all fluid from reservoir and refilled with ATF and after 45mins of driving no more clattering from power steering pump! I admit I didn't do a complete flush. My plan is to continue to remove old dirty fluid and refill fresh fluid. I presume I will have to do this half a dozen...

Before I replace the power steering pump which is making a horrible sound I would first like to remove all the power steering fluid and replace with fresh fluid. Maybe I will get lucky and the power steering pump will stop making that horrific sound. So question, What type of power steering...

UPDATE: Okay guys I just discovered something. That is when I slightly turn the steering wheel to the left the noise goes away completely. Please watch the updated video below in its entirety and you will see me demonstrate this. Please let me know what you guys think...

Hey guys hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holidays. Today my 99 Corolla developed this strange noise (rattling noise) Please have a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe3HaMSquwM Any idea what it can be?

Thanks Donabed. If by drive-belt you mean the serpentine belt then I have already replaced that as well with a new gates micro v belt. The brake fluid looks clean. Since I bought the car used I dont know when the coolant was flushed. Can one visually inspect the coolant? Is there way to tell if...

As per the maintenance schedule what is the recommend service for 150k interval on the 99 corolla. I am sorry and am asking because I dont have a service manual for my car. Thank you in advance. Shawn

Thanks guys. I had my brakes inspected. They adjusted the rear drum brakes and they feel great! Total cost $19.95 :-) They did recommend I change the drums when I change the shoes as they are a hairline from being out of spec.

With the e-brake engaged I am unable to spin the wheels. Anyone here with sucessful attempt in changing drum brakes? I am wondering if I can tackle this job on my own or perhaps with the help of members on this forum.

Please allow me to clarify. I got the spare tire (donut) out of the trunk and used it to depress the brake pedal (genius I know) lol. I then jacked the car up on the rear driver side. Turned on the car and then tried to spin the rear wheel with my hands. When I did this there was some...

I jacked the car up and when I apply the brakes I can move the rear wheel. Not much and there is resistant but since my foot is on the brake I shouldn't be able to move the rear wheel at all they should lock. Correct?

Do you guys know how to adjust the rear drum brakes on the 99 corolla? I understand when you apply the handbrake/parking brake it automatically adjusts. I also noticed behind the wheel there is a rubber housing I can remove and adjust with screw driver by turning the star wheel. Do I need to do...

Thanks guys. I had my brakes checked out and was told I don't need front brakes as I have 50% life left on the pads. I should be good for another 15K. Thanks, Shawn
