Celica :: 1985 - Gas Coming Out Of Filler Cap
Oct 29, 2012
So this is a strange and unsettling problem:
I recently filled up my tank, drove about 45 miles on the highway and when I got out I noticed that gas was leaking out of the fuel filler cap. So I decided to open the cap to alleviate some of the pressure, but when I did that, a TON of gas came pouring out of it into the parking lot...
The pressure on the tank has always been kinda high in my opinion and there are times that I can smell gas when I'm driving along, but this is new. I tried looking for kinks in the lines, but there are none. I can't smell gas coming from the engine bay either.
Roll over valve? Pressure regulator? I mean there's not a whole lot to the fuel system.
things of importance, if at all relevant: 209k, Manual
Just did the fuel pump, but TRIPLE checked for kinks in the lines before reinstalling the fuel tank, and they're all pretty visible under the car anyway...

I have a 1985 Toyota Celica Gt-s, and i have quite a bit of oil in the radiator. The car does not overheat, and I am wondering what exactly causes the oil to get in the radiator. I just purchased a full engine gasket set, and a timing kit. I am going to replace the headgasket, and the timing. I am not sure if the headgasket is the reason oil is in the radiator, but I am hoping so. Also there is no water in the oil, just oil in the radiator.

My battery on my Celica wouldn't hold a charge, as if my alternator was faulty but i took it to Azone and it was fine. Replaced battery around a month ago so i doubt that's the problem..checked fuses and "charging" fuse in fuse box next to battery was not getting current to i ran direct current to from battery it and it seem to have fixed the problem for about a DAY, then fuse blew..replaced it but it still seems to have the same problem ): btw the battery and brake lights stay on..

I'm working on my sons 1985 Celica GT 22RE. He was having problems with it running rough.
I've isolated it down to the number 1 cylinder being starved on warm starts. If you cold start it the problem does not occur but if you let it sit warm for 15 minutes it will fire up but nothing from number one cylinder. Lots of spark but no firing. So I'm going to tear down the EFI and move the injector to see if the problem follows it. Will probably see if I'm getting any voltage to the injector while rough before tearing down.
I can't find anything about an injector not working once warm so I'm thinking it may be an ECU problem.

I purchased a 1985 celica GTS, convertible, rear wheel drive. I am having a problem with the drivers side power window. I can raise and lower the window with a direct 12v battery hook up to either the lift motor or from the terminals that connect to the switch. The switch will lower the motor but not raise it. When activated to raise the window you can hear the motor enterguise but will not lift. I check the voltage at the switch and I am getting 12 volts. What should I check next?

I have a 1986 F150 6 cyl, dual tanks, no AC, manual fuel pump. Just recently, I have been having issues with the tanks. At first it seemed like the back tank was siphoning from the front tank. Now I have fuel coming out of my front tank filler neck. When I open the back tank gas cap, there is enough pressure to spray me with gasoline. I am not familiar with the fuel delivery system of my truck ...

85 ford ranger 2.3 efi .. My brake lights still aren't coming on. According to the Haynes manual, the wire that runs from the stop light fuse goes from there to the hazard flasher and then to the brake light switch. Since I have checked everything else, is it possible that the hazards are causing a break in the connection?

I am looking for a 2000-2004 Celica for my son and have noticed that all of the cars I have test driven have had an inordinate amount of noise coming from the rear of the car. It sounds like wheel bearing noise and increases in loudness as you increase speed. I did notice on 2 cars that one or both rear tires were worn such that they had feathered tread wear which might cause a knobby effect (like mud tires on a truck). The other cars had smooth tread wear but still made a roaring noise at-speed.

I've had this strange knocking noise ever since may coming from my motor. I thought, it might go away if i push the car a little. But it's been 6 months, and the thing is still going hard. What I'm experiencing is kind of a knocking noise, something akin to marbles being shaken up in some kind of jar, and it is only at partial throttle. Starts at 2000 rpms and goes all the way until redline. What it could be? Engine sounds perfectly fine at idle, power is still there. MPG's are the same... I've also read a couple threads that indicate that it could be my intake manifold, I am really not that good with cars, shameful but i admit.
Btw while i was browsing found a repair manual on the net [URL] ....

I just got done rebuilding my 7A-FE engine and I noticed that at idle its somewhat noisy from the engine bay. With the hood popped it sounds like its coming from the valvetrain area, like around the valve cover/intake manifold noise. I'll have to get a video up of it. It's not a grinding noise or anything like that, it just sounds like the valvetrain itself is just noisy.
Are these engines just chatty like that? I know I've heard of the 1zz being somewhat noisy.

I am replacing my leaking power steering pump. I checked the hose connections and it doesn't appear that the leak is coming from there. I have removed the right front wheel and have the car on jack stands. It is really tight under there.
If I remove the cross member under the power steering pump will that allow me to get the old power steering pump out and the new one back in?
Will the removal and reinstall of the cross member affect alignment.

So I'm doing some work on my friends car he just bought, 1990 gts, rebuilt 5sfe, not sure how thoroughly it was rebuilt, there seems to be a metal grinding noise coming from somewhere in the belts, sounds almost like water pump, belt tensioner, ac clutch, or something along those lines. I don't know much about these motors, anything commonly go out on these?

I've just bought a 1996 celica GT. It has very low mileage and is in great general shape for it's age. There is one thing that annoys me and it's a clicking sound coming from the rear passenger side wheel when going over bumps (I hear it a low speeds as tire noise take over after I guess). I was wondering if I should be looking for different signs when I jack it up? Worn bushings? And is there a way to reproduce the sound. I've read about the rear bushing being a problem on these cars... is it true?

I was adding a quart of oil to my 2 liter and I noticed this white/creamy foam or buildup on the underside of the oil filler cap. I am close to an oil change point I think around 1k if not less. Car has 75-80k miles on it maintained properly and had cam follower check at 50k it was clean then. I remember hearing about why this foam happens but I forgot.

Changing the oil in my wife's 03 Camry 2AZ-FE, I noticed a small scratch-like crack in the oil baffle that's attached to the under side of the valve cover. According to the interwebs, this is a known issue and in a worst case a chunk of baffle can break off and jam the timing chain. How concerned should I be? I'm thinking I should just monitor it for the time being and get more alarmed if the crack gets bigger or the baffle starts looking like it could separate.

From almost one month I am a proud owner of Vw Phaeton 3.2 V6 4 Motion BKL. The problem that I have is related with electronic unlocking of fuel filler lid. It does not open from the button on driver's door and I open it manually by pulling one red piece of rope.

My brother was the original owner then passed it on to me. I then passed it on to my younger cousin about two years ago. The car is completely stock and has never been modified. Everything is OEM.Just a couple of weeks ago I was called by my cousin saying the car broke down on her .The problem is that we took it to a few mechanic shops but they still haven't fixed it ...
Problem with car: When pressing on the gas, the idle drops and then the car dies (a scary event that happened to us and on a main road). I do not wish to bring it to another fail mechanic shop.What the shops did: changed all fluids, distributor cap and plugs, new spark plugs, and replaced air intake piping with oem piping.

I have a '97 volvo 850 R with 185,000 miles. ive owned it for 2 months and synthetic oil is used in it but I haven't changed the oil yet. When I opened the oil filler cap today just after I drove it, smoke or steam came out of it. i checked the dipstick and there was white sort of gunky stuff on it. What is that? would an oil change fix that?
