I have replaced the distributor, power steering belt, spark plugs and put in a new transmission filter and fluid on my 1995 Corolla station wagon. I cannot get the check engine light to go off and stay off. I have pulled the efi fuse and disconnected the negative ground on the battery. [email protected]

MINOR TUNE UP CHECK ALL ENGINE FLUIDS, INSPECT AND TEST BATTERY,CHECK COOLING SYSTEM, CHECK ALL UNDER HOOD HOSES,CHECK AND ADJUST THE DRIVE BELTS, CHECK AIR FILTER. CHECK THE PCV VALVE, INSPECT SPARK PLUG WIRES REPLACE SPARK PLUGS. IF YOU DOING A MAJOR TUNE UP. REPLACE THE AIR FILTER, REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG WIRES AND SPARK PLUGS, REPLACE FUEL FILTER,CHANGE OIL FILTER AND OIL,INSPECT ROTATE TIRES, INSPECT DRIVE AXLE BOOTS,IF YOU HAVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CHECK OIL LEVEL REPLACE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IF YOU OVER 30000 MILES ,CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM, CHECK SUSPENSION SYSTEM,CHECK BRAKE DISCS, PADS, DRUMS AND SHOES,CHECK BRAKE HOSES.CHECK TRANSFERCASE OIL LEVEL,CHECK AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID HOSE.CHECK THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR. NEED CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER.YOU NEED CHANGE TIMING BELT HAS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 60000 MILES TIMING BELT CHANGING TIME OVER DUE.REPLACE WATER PUMP WHEN YOU REPLACE TIMING BELT BECAUSE TIMING COVER HAS TO BE REMOVED WHEN YOU REPLACE WATER PUMP ALSO GET BOTH DONE SAVE TIME AND MONEY.CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER.REPLACE FUEL FILTER AND AIR FILTER.FLUSH COOLANT SYSTEM REPLACE THERMOSTAT AND RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP HAVE GARAGE FLUSH OUT BRAKE SYSTEM ADD NEW BRAKE FLUID.INSPECT BRAKES HOSES CHECK FRONT BRAKES PADS AND CHECK INSIDE CALIPER FOR LEAKING SEALS CHECK REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOES CHECK FOR LEAKING WHEEL CYLINDER SEALS.CHECK BALL JOINTS AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS.CHECK DRIVE BELT OR BELTS.CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID LOOK OLD DIRTY HAVE GARAGE CHANGE POWER STEERING FLUID.ALL THOSE THINGS HAS TO BE CHECK AND DONE IF LAST OWNER NEGLECT DID NOT TAKE CARE OF VECHICLE.ITS GOING TO BE A EXPENSIVE COST. JUST DO A LITTLE AT A TIME.THE TIMING BELT WOULD BE MY WORRY IF IT BREAKS ENGINE IS DONE.I WOULD REPLACE WATER PUMP AND TIMING BELT FIRST WOULD DRIVE MUCH UNTIL THATS FIX.

• Replace spark plugs
  

• Replace rotor
  

• Check distributor cap (replace if necessary)
  

• Check timing (adjust if necessary)
  

• Check ignition wires (replace if necessary)
  

• Check ignition performance (firing voltage and ignition patterns)
  

• Check idle speed (adjust if necessary)
  

• Check choke (carbureted engines)
  

• Clean fuel injectors
  

• Check compression and/or power balance (identifies bad fuel injectors as well as compression problems)
  

• Check manifold intake vacuum (reveals exhaust restrictions)
  

• Check battery/charging voltage
  

• Check exhaust emissions (verifies fuel mixture, ignition performance and emissions performance)
  

• Check vehicle computer for trouble codes
  

• Install new air filter
  

• Replace fuel filter
  

• Replace PCV valve
  

• Check all emission controls (EGR valve, air pump, etc.)
  

• Check all vital fluid levels (engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brakes, power steering)
  

• Check belts and hoses
  

• Check safety items such as lights, wipers, tires (including inflation pressure), horn, etc.
  
  

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR 52500 MILES IS ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE.TIMING BELT CHANGE IS 60000 MILES INTERVAL. MOST OF ENGINE TUNE UP IS DUE AT 60000 MILES INTERVAL.YOU NEED TO REPLACE TIMING BELT, REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT, REPLACE SPARK PLUGS,REPLACE IGNITION CABLES. REPLACE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER. YOU NEED TO SERVICE AND INSPECT ALL THESE ITEMS, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER,BRAKE HOSES, BRAKE PADS,DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS,VALVE CLEARANCE,BALL JOINTS AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS,DRIVE BELTS,EXHAUST SYSTEM,FUEL HOSES,MANUAL TRANSAXLE OIL,REAR DRUM BRAKE LININGS AND REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. At your mileage, it is time to do a tune up anyway. You are going to want to change your serpentine belts. You will want to change your spark plugs/coils, wires, coil packs, distributor cap. You are going to want to change the transmission fluid and filter. Also, flush your radiator and change the coolant. You will want to purchase a new fuel filter and air filter also. It would be a good time for a new PCV valve to. If you want to balance the front end and tires, I would do it. If not, the tune up should increase engine performance. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and thanks for using FixYa.

Hi,

#1) Oil and Filter Change.

#2) Transmission Filter & Gasket Also Transmission Flush and new transmission fluid.

#4) Complete Brake Inspection Replace if Needed. Also Flush out Brake System with new Fluid.

#5) Inspect Front End for Worn Parts, Check for Alignment--Inspect Tires .Replace if Nessary otherwise Rotate.

#6) Check Wheel Bearings Front and Rear.or Struts -Shocks-

#7) Check and Flush out Power Steering Fluid. with new Fluid. Change power steering filter if Equiped.

#8) Inspect. ignition System, Replace all replaceable Parts. Or only the Damaged.

#9) Replace wiper Blades w/New

#10) Replace PCV Valve--Air Filters-Fuel Filter-Replace any Breather Elements and Check Vacum Lines for Cracks .Replace if Needed

#11) Inspect Radiator and Heater Hoses .Replace.

#12) Inspect Battery Condition, Check Battery Cables for Corrosion -Replace if needed.

#13) Remove and replace Spark Plugs.Cap & Rotor.

#14) Replace Spark Plug Wires,

#15) Check all Lights ,replace Bad lights.Interior and Exterior.

#16) Check Rear End/Diferrential if Equipted.Change out Oil (90) Wt.

#17) Replace Drive Belt (Serpitine) or Drive Bels.

This is what i recommend to reduce Uneccessary Break Downs,And Yhis is A Excellent Preventive Maintence.

By running through this list and replacing the neccesary parts. will also save in Future Everything gets more Expensive as the Days Pass.

Hope i've given what you needed.Please let me Know by Voting for the Quality of My Solutions and a Testamony would be Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks From ==d_hubbs

Check the fuel pump, water pump, drive belts, pulley tensor, timing belt, fuel filter, oil filter, oil, transmission filter, transmission oil, transmission, battery, spark plugs, power steering, power steering fluid, wiring, alternator and battery.

For the fluids or hydraulics mentioned above, if it has not been replaced, have it replaced.

This almost always if different depending on the shop you take you car to. The best way is to look in your owners manual, pick your diving conditions, normal or extended use, and see what Mistubishi recommends. Should be at least, oil change,rotate,brake inspection, air filter, spark plugs, plug wire set, timing belt. On a Mits with over 100k miles I always recommended Distbutor cap and rotor, Transmission flush(for auto), Induction flush.

YOU CAN GET A USED PUMP FOR UNDER 50.00 AND IT IS EAY TO INSTALL AND DONT FORGET TO BLEED AIR FROM SYSTEM AFTER REPLACEMENT

you are doing something wrong ,but you cant see it and it will confuse you ,call a mobile mechanic out for another opinion ,this fault could be anything and no doubt its something stupid as this car is too old to have a lot of fancy electrics and factory immobiliser,but 95??hmmm could be problem as it was about this time they were fitted .best of british with it and call a mobile mechanic to have a look
