1993 Toyota Corona Reviews, Pricing & Specs

1993 Toyota Corona terrible fuel consumption/smoky

Hi! I use a 1994 Toyota Corona as my daily commute. It has a 3S-FE 2.0 liter engine So far it has logged 275K kms without much issues. Recently I had the engine overhauled and replaced the following; Timing belt, tensioner bearings, con rod bearings, piston rings, In/Ex valves, valve seals, water pump, and spark plugs and all seals and gaskets. However when it was completed, I noticed that black smoke is being emitted from the exhaust pipe and the fuel consumption was so terrible. I had the spark plugs inspected and they were covered with soot indicating the presence of unburned or excess fuel. I already had the coil replaced and still emits black smoke. Also I tried inspecting the fuel rail regulator but it seems to be in order. No CHECK ENGINE signal encountered. What did the mechanic miss here? Please help?

is the oil pump bad?

I have a toyota corona st190 4s engine 1993 model. Oil light flickers, metal rattling noise when starting and then subsides along with the oil light...but flickers and stays off most of the time. mechanic says its not the oil filter (changed it anyway) but the oil pump may be losing pressure. Not the sensor switch he says as oil light would stay on all the time...and not go off or flicker. Does not know if there is another oil filter inside the oil pump... any suggestions please?

Overheating problems with my 1993 Toyota Corona EX

Hello fellow car enthusiasts was wondering if anyone knows much about Corona’s more specifically the 90’s models. A couple of weeks ago I was driving back home, temp was just under half, when suddenly the gauge ticked up to critically levels and I was forced to pull over so my engine could cool down. Now I can tell you the exact model of most cars with one glance, but unfortunately my mechanic skills are novice. Mate of mine had a look and said it could be the thermostat or possibly an issue with the radiator. I’m thinking of maybe draining out the radiator, flushing it out then give her new coolant 50/50 but I would love some outside opinions first. Anyone with a 93 Corona had similar issues? Any help will be appropriated.

i had my clutch repair but corona 93 wont start after the repair of the clutch. The mechanic suspects that its the computer box since it does not give power? Is it true?

93 Corona - Hazard and Indicator Relay

I changed stereos in my car yesterday.The weird t hing was that the old power wires for the stereo provided no power (tested with multi-meter) and so i used the power wires for the Hazard Lights which sit just up from the stereo anyway. Before putting it all together everything tested good. Put it back together and the stereo, hazard lights and indicators stopped working. I've checked all the fuses and there still good though had to replace the one under the bonnet and it hasn't blown again. Now when i go to put the hazard lights on there is a slight sound which sounds like a relay trying to work behind the dash but still nothing. At this point all the wiring looks good and secure and easily traced but still those 3 things refuse to work. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Cheers Jonnie
