It's an evap charcoal cannister on a 96-97 tercel

Well, any lateral movement of the connecting rod with the piston is not acceptable because it could wear to the point of being thrown apart over time.

Also, pins can be pressed out, I believe, even though I have never done this.

I have overhauled a 1979 Honda Accord and took the pistons out, but the machine shop said that they were ok, at the time.

Try recharging the a/c system at a garage that does it. It take around 30 minutes and normally solves most problems like this. and cost around £30-40 so $50 -60
if still not solve clean the airway in the bulk head and pipe in the dash or the changing the pollen filter could also help

In most cases this problem is caused by the rotating ribbon circuit contact under the steering wheel having a broken filament, the part is known as a clock spring contact, u will need to properly disarm the airbag and remove the steering wheel to access the part. WARNING: Failure to disarm the airbag system can result in an unexpected Airbag deployment and possible serious personnel injury disconnect the battery 30 minutes prior to start of work.

Did you use the recommended manufacturers spark plugs for your car? are they gapped as per the manufacturer...did you break a plug wire inadvertently while removing the plugs or crack a spark plug insulator(the white porcelain part of the plug)? did you knock a vacumn line(hose) off the engine when working on the plugs?

first thing is go and buy a haynes repair book from the parts store. they cost around 25.00 or so. they are not that bad to change. with that being said. first unhook the battery, and all your belts off the pullies. then take the valve cover off (on some models) and the hard part will be getting the balancer off unless you have a aircompressor. and then around 10 bolts for the plactis cover for the belt. and you will see the belt the is a idler pully and a ten. pully you need to locate the screw for the ten pully and loosen it up so you can slide the belt off. and while you are that far into it. go ahead and replace the water pump that rides on the timing belt.

All four are on the top of the engine.the first two are easy to get to the second two are under the coils. There is a series of four plugs two of which are screwed down. Unscrew these and you can easily remove the first two plugs. The second two arenot as easy. The connecters arenot screwed down, but under are the coils you have to remove them with a special tool to get to the spark plugs underneath.

Should be the fuse.

remove the rear wheels
remove the dust cap
remove the cotter pin
loose the nut
be careful when you install, because you must torque and adjust the nut. if it's done incorrectly it will damage the bearing or the wheel can come off!
