- as i described before also the second time after my short test drive I opened the rad cap while the engine was running and the coolant sprayed out with a lot of pressure.Also icannot find any specifcations on the volume of coolant it takes to fill up when the system has been emptied I was only able to put around 3 litres in there.threre is no sign of any oil in the cooling system nor water in the oil as Its been suggested that it may be the head gasket.the radiator appears on the outside to be in good condition,the car has only travelled 160000 ks . also I have been trying to find out which radiator fits the car because the 87 has a camry 2ltr moter i presume it takes camry radiator I have been told when ringing around that it may be a different radiator.As suggested I will start with the thermostat.thanks

1993 toyota camry v6 xle cigarette lighter keeps blowing fuse #8 (driver's side under dash) behind coin holder. Have tried to install new lighter with bulb for finding at night. Have 4 wires one hot green, one black both for lighter, and 2 smaller wires one light blue with red stripe and one white with red stripe, no quick connects. Used car 3 months ago (120,000 miles), came this way with wires capped. How do I reconnect to Victor lighter with one hot center connect, one sleeve ground and a single black wire for bulb to make glow at night? Also, no gauge lights recently,no parking lights and p/w-p.locks stopped working, replaced #14 relay and now doors and windows work. Also replaced driver,s door actuator, with used as motor went. Lastly, power antenna motor makes noise, but no longer goes up and down,but don't really care about that. Is there a reset on a 1993 camry v6 xle with one driver's air bag and do I need to remove neg. wire from battery to reset. Note, before the lighter, parking lights and gauge light(s), I had replaced the battery with new appropriate Auto Zone Battery. Thanks for any advice you can give. P.S. no sound, but 2 speaker's test fine on driver's door only. Thanks for any advice. Dave 1987 Camry. Blows fuse to cigarette lighter (and clock display) repeatedly.
I have been charging cell phone via cigarette lighter for 6 months. Problem started recently, two weeks after replacing radiator. The engine got warm a couple of times, but never red-lined.
Any ideas for what's wrong and how to fix? Many thanks!
