Freeze plugs will be very difficult to replace with the engine in the car. There is no reason to replace them unless the car has been run with plain water for some time, and they rust out, then the radiator gets clogged. The ONLY way to fix the head gasket is to remove the cyl head, and have a machine shop check it and repair any warpage. When the head is off, you may be able to better access any freeze plugs. The questions you are asking tell me you dont know much about engine work and you really need a repair shop to do all of your repairs. If they are not done correctly it will even cost more. Of course with a car that old, you may be better off with another one. Expect to pay 1500-2000 or more depending what else is wrong that you dont even know about yet, for all that work.

What should I do? Get another car?

Possible bad spark plug or coil pack. Weak compression could be bent valve, worn piston rings, or head gasket. Black at the tail pipe is from unburned fuel from your cylinder miss.

I have Toyota corolla 1995 dx 1.8 l . overheat please give me an advise

try replacing the thermostat. it's easy and cheap to fix. I find it hard to believe the water evaporates after 5 minutes though. you may have a bad freeze plug and your loosing all your water or a blown head gasket. check the oil and make sure it isn't milky looking or obvious signs of water in the oil

I have dirty engine coolant leaking up towards the front passenger side. what do i do

well check your radiator cap for traces of oil, if there is some there then you head gasket is blown. if its not blown then you could have just blown out a freeze plug, or maybe a gasket in the waterpump

I am facing a problem with my toyota corolla 1989, it backfires, frequent engine shutdown mostly when the engine is hot but not overheating, i already replace my ignition coil, adjust timing and cleaned my...

Sounds like an intake manifold leak. Once the manifold gets hot the gasket leaks. I would check that first and the head gasket second. Are you getting any smoke, hesitation at all?

After changing the gasket of my gli 93 the power reduced drastically. It was tuned up, new sparkplugs and timing. Still doesnt restore the previous power. I suspect ground wiring. What do you think?

If it was the head gasket that you replaced, it may be fractionly thicker than the original so the compression has dropped. (I have done this myself before).
I could be wrong but its worth a thought

I have my toyota corolla 93 model big body... when you revolution it.. there is no water coming out to the exhaust.... but if you will ride it and run...there is water and a white smoke in the exhaust......

a small amount of water from tail pipe is just condensation , its normal if you are losing antifreeze from radiator through the exhaust then it may be a head gasket leak or a cracked head . as long as radiator level stays full its ok

I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT A GOOD BLOCK AND ENGINE SEALANT TO BUY.AND HOW DO YOU ADJUST A TIE ROD FOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ON A 93 TOYOTA COROLLA

there are no good ones. everyone will fail when you least expect it and when you forget your not suppose to leave town with this cheap fix..

The proper way to adjust a tie rod is when you get an alignment. No way to tell its correct without a machine.

How can i straighten my steering wheel on a 93 toyota corolla what steps might i have to take.And what bolts should i loosen first .In order to fix it.Thank you

if your steering wheel is off center, you probably need a wheel alignment. there is no way to just straighten the wheel. it is done through alignment adjustments on your tie rods.

Wet Plugs

If the oil was still wet it probably wasn't coming from inside the combustion chamber. Oil in the combustion chamber would show up on the plugs as white ash (usually). It has been my experience with those toyota motors that the oil comes from deteriorating o-rings that seal the valve cover to the spark plug tubes. They're not very difficult to replace. Remove the valve cover (you'll need a VC gasket) and there are 4 big holes in it that fit over the spark plug tubes, which you should now see sticking up out of the head. Replace the o-rings around them and you should have no more oilly plugs. I don't think this really affects the performance, but I can see where it would cause plug wires to fail prematurely.
