1997 toyota tercel has brand new starter in it but when I turn key to start it the starter keeps trying to star even with the engine running, when I turn car off and take key out it still continues to

Hello Theresa Honeycutt,

There is an easily explainable configuration that would cause your dilemma on OLD FASHION 4 connection (two big posts & two small gauge wire posts) starter SOLENOIDS...

1997 Tercel is 3 wire (can't happen)

Technically what you are describing is not possible as a USER MISTAKE because the TOYOTA solenoid only has THREE Battery TERMINALS showing.

It is a MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

YOU will need to return the starter as DEFECTIVE and get another one..

Fault: The primary winding of the ("s" lead on classic drawings ... "st1" lead on the 1997 Tercel) has a DIRECT SHORT to the output battery (starter motor side) of the main battery source (internal solenoid defect).

There should be ABSOLUTELY no continuity between the large posts (battery & motor) and the ST1 terminal WITHOUT THE STARTER switch ("st1") momentary contact being energized.

Then inspect the Ring gear on the vehicle to assure no
GEAR TEETH have been broken off in the previous melee... (Serious job... hope not).

The knock sensor is usually located in the side of your engine block just under the exhaust manifold. If your standing in front of the car (Since Its Front Wheel Drive) It should be almost in the center directly in front of you.

My clutch just started slipping. Is there anything I need to check before I take it to a shop to get my clutch done?

the problem may be a faulty clutch master cylinder that has a blocked compensating port
I would suggest taking the vehicle in for an inspection of the hydraulics or the cable if not hydraulic several quotes fro accredited brake and clutch shops.
if the hydraulics have never been checked / cleaned or changed, I would be looking at that first because even if it ends up being the clutch and pressure plate, an old clutch slave and master cylinder will fail quickly with the added pressure of a new pressure plate.

Speedometer not reading right speed in Toyota Tercel.

Have you changed tires/wheels to a different size than was originally specified for this car? That will throw the calibration of your speedometer off. Sometimes the onboard computer can be adjusted to fix this, but you need garage professional programming equipment to do something like this if it is possible to do at all. Otherwise, if your speedometer is off and you haven't changed anything, it may need to be replaced, or the sensor on your drivewheels. Check with a mechanic.
