In Reply to: OT 94 Tercel, Fix It? posted by super99 on February 27, 2008 at 14:37:34:
I also have a 94 Tercel. Mine has 82,000 miles on it. The puff of smoke on start up is mainly due to worn valve seals.(they are famous for that minor problem). The seals start to show ware at about 60,000 miles. In my case, I still get 1500 miles on the first Qt. of oil after an oil change. Then about 900 miles per Qt. until the next oil change.
New tires were put on June of 2000 and they still have miles left in them yet. I was lucky to have been given the car by my sister in January of 06 when she got her new Toyota Prius. She bought the Tercel new in 94 and it was always taken care of with the regular dealer service and never left outside at home. It had a new muffler put on in 02 and I replaced the pipe between the engine and the Cat. Converter a few months ago. Other than that, no other repairs have ever been needed.
If the oil consumption ever gets out of hand, I don`t think I would think twice about getting the new valve seals along with rings and a valve job for it while the engine was apart.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
