  1. Thank you for the reply. what do you mean that they do have emission system that are controlled
  2. does the 1984 toyota 22R carburetor dolphin have a ECM?
  3. WME do you know if a carburetor can also cause that to fail. ?
  4. i think its the EVAP canister that needs replacing. but i will also buy a new gas cap. i have an evap canister from an 87 toyota pick up that i used to have. am sure it should fit my 84 dolphin. i need to pass this smog and get it to my name. doing major tune up as well. what you guys using in oil? mine is 84 with 87k miles and do i need to be aware of anything while changing cap and rotor? >new cap and rotor. >new NGK spark plug with NGK platnium spark plugs. >gas filter >oil changed . new oil filter >air filter
  5. Maineah, do you know the location of it. and how hard will it be to remove. and where would i be able to buy one?
  6. hello toyota community. has anyone failed Fuel EVAP test during smog test. that can share any tips on how to resolve the issue. i passed all the other components of smog check. but only failed fuel EVAP test. thank you in advance for any help provided.
  7. i had the same problem and i just replaced mine like a month or so . filler hose like $75. i was a pain in the behind but doable.
  8. hello all, i need help. i did smog check right before xmast and it passed everything except "Fuel Evap Test" i knew i had a fuel problem because when i pumped gas i would see it drip on filler hose. the next day i was heading to San Francisco and the car was shaky. i took it back to the smog place as i had seen they did some type of adjustment on carburetor when they were doing smog test. they told me that they can re adjusted to how it was before but when i came back to do smog retest that they would not be able to do any adjustments. so that it was up to me. before i went to do retest . i change the filler hose hoping that would take care of the fuel evap problem .. i also adjusted the carburetor, but that is where i messed up cause i really didn't know how to do that. then the truck started acting funny like it would turn off. and it would be accelerated. when i did the retest it faile because "has idle surge" will need to take to certified auto repair shop to get idle inspected-evap test has gross leak. can anyone help me / guide me how to adjust carburetor to normal position. i think there are 3 different places to adjust. one is the vacuum, the fuel and the idle. i don't have a picture at the moment but its a 1984 toyota dolphin 22R with carburetor i've attached both print out when smog check was done. the retest was not actually done because they said it was idle to high and that it would also turn off. first time smog.PDF Retest.PDF
  9. i got mine at big lots for like 30-40 bucks they were 50% off. you might still be able to scoop one up..lol
  10. i should of bought more. i got mine for like 30 -40 bucks. they going for atleast 120 on ebay. .lol.
  11. i saw this camper Santa and i just had to have it. ☺ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
  12. Than you Mark. Yes the paint makes a really nice . I lightly sanded the cabinets so the paint won't come off. But I guess you can get away by just painting it . But I notice from the previous paint job that it can easily be scratched off . So I did the extra work but it paid off
  13. Hello All, i regret not taking before pictures. but i think we all know how old and ugly an original "1980's" interior looks like. i just want to show my remodeled/updated Dolphin. well not completely finished. i need a few more drawer/cabinets painted. i pretty much did a back splash on the kitchen, painted cabinets white, i used the same hardware but i also painted them, i installed hardwood floor. (☺) fixed a small leak on the kitchen sink. i also installed a waterproof laminate in the bathroom. carpet looked so ugly before. and am in the process of buying a new toilet and painting the bathroom interior. (any thoughts on what paint to use? i was thinking just exterior paint or rustoleum white paint and spraying that "never wet" on top of paint. and the most important upgrade of all...lol .my 2 month fist baby boy! you can see him helping me..lol by him sleeping that a big help..☺☺
  14. Thank you Linda. you're always helpful. i will buy that part and try to put it i never taught about bolting it, but sounds like a good idea. as we have another car seat, so the base staying there won't be much of an issue. am just worried if we ever got pulled over if that would be legal? thank you again and Merry Christmas
