Timing Belt R&R 1994 Toyota Tercel 1.5L

How to remove and install a timing belt on a 1994 Toyota Tercel Sedan with a 1.5L four cylinder engine.

[@eduardomontoya3808]

I believe u cover this better than anyone else, thumbs up twice

[@benr7965]

confirmed this is more difficult in the car, due to not having clearance to get a puller on the crank dampener. However, i don't believe its pressed on like some other cars I've worked on. Tap it with a hammer and it should come loose. be careful not to damage the pulley with the hammer though. Thanks for the video

Good Job

[@denisd5182]

Can this only be done with the engine down or it can be done with the engine still mounted in the car?

[@InitechAuto]

This is supposed to be done with the engine in the car. The engine was out so it’s just for illustration purposes only

[@talpatalpa1135]

Buen video

I think I can do this in 13 minutes and 26 seconds!!!!

hola me gustaría saber la coordinación de las mangueras de vacío en la vsv veo que le sabes muy bien a la mekanika y tengo tercel 93. motor 3e-e espero contar con su ayuda

Where does someone find the torque specs? I cant find a haynes manual for 1999 year? ( i know this is a diff year)

[@dw4940]

My belt snapped while driving. Is the procedure any different in my case?

[@InitechAuto]

No, just line up the timing marks and install your new belt.

[@bobhunt595]

@@InitechAuto thankyou for reply. Enough procrastinating on my part, I'm getting ready to tackle the job. Never replaced a timing belt before

[@rodneyarmstrong3813]

You don't need a puller for the crank pully it's not a press on. The trick to hold the cam is called cam locks.

[@InitechAuto]

Camlock‘s is not a trick. It’s a tool for a specific task. I think my crescent wrench is more of a trick. 😁 As far as the crank puller. Not all of them just slide off. And as soon as you run into one you’ll wish you had the Puller. The puller is for demonstration and it’s a good practice to have.

[@scottduguid3453]

Mine wouldn't come off last time I did the job and I broke a piece off the pully by using one of the jaw-type pullers. I actually used it anyway and it's now time for another new belt - I'll replace the pully this time but will still use the proper puller if I need to, when removing :)

[@rebeccagarcia5863]

What type of alternator is this? I need to replace one for my '94 tercel and can't figure out the amps I need or whether it needs a heat shield or not. Thanks!!

[@InitechAuto]

The only advice I can give you is to remove the alternator and take it to an auto parts store and have them match it up. I really don't think you need a heat shield.

[@rebeccagarcia5863]

@@InitechAuto thank you for responding!!

[@antoniosilveira3660]

That job is a lot more difficult when the engine is in the car , by the way the two bolts for the valve cover are 12 millemeters not 14

[@InitechAuto]

This has to one of the easiest timing belts to do. In or out of the car.

[@joebarone3272]

This has got to the easiest timing belt job ever !! Right now I'm in the middle of pt cruiser turbo timing belt....worst car to work on EVER! ! !

[@InitechAuto]

I feel your pain...PT is not mechanic friendly.

+Carlos Cuadra I think Area 51 would have trouble jeez

[@franciscosaldanaacosta812]

le quedara el frente de toyota tercel 96 a un 92

[@InitechAuto]

No se

[@christophermckinnon4920]

a little advice please, my 95 tercel seems to have a tapperd ID. The balancer only easily installs one way, an the keyway doesn't touch. is it being installed backwards?

[@InitechAuto]

As far as I know it only goes on one way. What is tapered? What ever gets it closer to the engine is the way it goes.

[@christophermckinnon4920]

thanks for your response

[@betoramos7501]

Hola Carlos, es cierto que este motor 3E con caja mecanica rinde hasta 80 km x galón? Saludos desde Perú.

[@InitechAuto]

Por lo que sé. El kilometraje debe rondar como 46 km. por galon de petro. Saludos desde Arizona, USA

[@alexanderbarrera9140]

Im trying to put the belt on but its just barely able to get on and i have the tensioner locked fully back in position. Any ideas?

[@InitechAuto]

Make sure its the correct belt. Don't let the tensioner fool you. It can move just enough to make the belt installation difficult. Also try rocking the cam back and forth to get a little clearance.

[@alexanderbarrera9140]

Nicoya i figured it out. The camshaft needed to be rotated like 2 cm to the left and the teeth lined up better on the belt and gave me just enough to get it on. So for your future advice thats another tip. Line up the pulley teeth to maximize full belt length. Thank you for your help.

[@juanmiranda4521]

Carlos tengo un Tercel 1993 y tira humo Azul al encenderlo en la mañana pero cuando calienta no tienes ese problema hasta el proximo dia que lo enciendo Otra vez.

[@InitechAuto]

From what you are describing. It could be bad valve seals.

[@juanmiranda4521]

Thank you .

[@bebobalaquer8393]

carlos y para cambiar el filtro de la gasolina prendo el carro le saco el efi y dejo que se apage solo.mi proyecto en areglar este carro y el manual no lo consigo

[@InitechAuto]

No entiendo la prequnta. Para cambiar el filtro. Aflohase los tornios despasio and deje que salga la gasolina. Y se cambia el filtro...es muy facil.

[@bebobalaquer8393]

+Carlos Cuadra ok I just wanted to do that and not spill to much gas

[@francois549]

Thank you !!!

[@sonofthedeathsergio]

tengo un toyota tercel 93 y tiembla mucho el motor cuando meto el cambio en P y en N no tiembla que pdria ser?

[@InitechAuto]

No se, Check your tune up condition.

[@nowornever1414]

When do you change the timing belt ?

[@InitechAuto]

Check with your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Some can be as short as 50k, while others can be 100k.

[@diyathomeagain6616]

Where is the water pump? Shouldn't it be replaced as well?

[@tomb816]

It's the top pulley on the alternator belt path. Yes, it should be changed w/ the timing belt replacement.

[@scottduguid3453]

@@tomb816 Also not a bad idea to do the crankshaft and camshaft seals while you're in there

[@jackwainscott6343]

How do you know if the 3e is directly in the exact right point?

[@InitechAuto]

When its at the 12 o'clock position.

[@jackwainscott6343]

how do you know when it is exactly in the 12 o clock position, I say this cause the engine is a little at an angle, so I was trying to get it perfectly in the right position.

[@InitechAuto]

Jane and her three little sisters 12 o'clock in relation to the cylinder head so if it's at an angle 12 o'clock will also be at an angle

[@antoniosilveira3660]

3e is at the right point when you look through the hole below , and you see a dimple in the camshaft bearing cap

[@applepoop10]

Do you have to remove the engine to change the timing belt?

[@InitechAuto]

No, I was replacing the engine anyways.

[@applepoop10]

Carlos Cuadra Ah okay. What happened to the engine?

[@InitechAuto]

This was a replacement engine...the other one had a oil consumption problem...oil rings stuck.

[@applepoop10]

Carlos Cuadra That's the same problem in my 1994 Tercel but that was the previous owners fault for not keeping up with the maintenance.

[@rogerlee6929]

What if timming belt broke

[@InitechAuto]

Line up your timing marks and install new belt.

[@rogerlee6929]

Do i have to take off all that stuff like pullys tentioner stuff like that

[@InitechAuto]

@@rogerlee6929 Yes, just like I show in the video

[@bebobalaquer8393]

es lo mismo con un tercel del 95 ?

[@InitechAuto]

Si

+Carlos Cuadra gracias hermano deja ver como me va .lol

[@sonofthedeathsergio]

donde puedo conseguir el diagrama de las mangueras de vacio?

[@sonofthedeathsergio]

gracias

[@sonofthedeathsergio]

crees que si están mal conectadas pueda ser este el problema de que tiemble el motor?

[@InitechAuto]

A vacuum leak can cause rough idle. yes

[@chuckles470s9]

Will the head /valves be damaged if the belt breaks?

[@claw-machinesNL]

if it's an non interference engine it won't (5e-fe is an non interference engine) depends on which engine you have (most older toyota engines are non interference)

[@chuckles470s9]

Thx for responding. I have the 5E FE engine. I picked up a Tercel with a rough idol and trouble shooting it.

[@claw-machinesNL]

chuckles470 S what year is it from? I have a 1996 paseo/cynos with a 5efe engine, what did you try already to make it idle better maybe i can help?

[@chuckles470s9]

It's a 1995 Tercel AC,PB,AT 220,000 miles.When it warms up the idol gets rough. I've cleaned the throttle body, new spark plugs and replaced the radiator.Replaced the water temp sensor. The car will shake at times especially when sitting and steering the wheel. The brakes are spongy. Under acceleration it runs perfect.no check engine light on.Thanks for the help. Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm thinking about cleaning the throttle body again. It was extremely dirty.

[@claw-machinesNL]

did you search for a vacuum leak? spongy brakes sound like the brake booster doesn't get vacuum and this could also declare why the idle is bad since that partially depends on vacuum. also make sure to check and have an air filter installed and maybe check the egr valve (if your engine have one)

[@josetorres4400]

ese motor es el mismo motor 2-e

+pulquedelmejor Are you talking about the crankshaft dampener? If you are, all you need is a puller.
