Check the PCV check valve and vaccum hoses too

This doesn't answer all your questions, but the simplest way to help prevent fuel pressure related check engine lights is to make sure your gas cap clicks closed a couple times when you close it.
crap.
gas tank cap doesn't affect fuel pressure that much. It's the EVAP system that causes the MIL to come on. We have the same problem with '01 Saab 9-3 Convertibles at the GM. When the pressure inside the gas tank drops, the EVAP system reports a gasoline fumes leak.
Even if it clicks it's not a sign that it's sealing the tank well it shoud turn tight while clicking. If it's loose while clicking - bad gas tank cap. It causes alot of DTCs to show up. We are putting new gas caps at the dealership. But if you are fixing it for yourself, just put the gasket or something.

In the radio, silly.
In the radio or out of it. It doesn't matter. It's still a short circuit, which causes those fuses to blow.
OR a microchip inside the radio.. OR the fuse that radio has.. but then again.. it should not interrupt clocks circuit.. ;)
Why are you making it so complicated?
There is a blown fuse in the second fuse box, which is located inside the car, not in the engine compartment.
And that's it.

CIG fuse
Shorted wires?!
Do you know why are those fuses there?
-
Distance between car and wall is crucial when adjusting ;) Don't get too close, cuz when you think you done lights can go like that -
-
Somehow I don't think that he opened a hood before...
-
Yeah, I see that bit about "automatic" now.
As for the chip in the key, I believe the immobilizer is in the car, but the car must sense the chip in the key (some sort of transponder, I would imagine) to be able to start. Expensive keys, though...
The whole system is called immobilizer ;) That box in the car is called an immobilizer module, which is generating a magnetic field (when you turn the key to "ON" position) to induce an electric current in the circuit located in the key. That circuit then sends a code back to the module and module "unlocks" either an injection or an ignition sequence. Or both.
Sweet and simple

Aren't there some fuses somewhere around the driver's side lower dash area (inside the car)?
I did some more research. Does this sound about right:
2003 – 2006 model year Corolla vehicles
Removal of the DOME fuse will affect the following systems:
- Door lock control
- Radio and CD changer
- Interior lights
- Combination meter
- Key reminder and seat belt warning
- Clock
The DOME fuse (15A) is stored in the blank space in the Relay Block in the engine compartment. (driver's side of engine compartment, about half-way down). In the fuse box, the DOME fuse is in the middle, on the end of a group of four small fuses. There may also be a CIG fuse that could affect things. I think it's in the same fuse box.
When I last time checked the cig fuse (on my car and on my friends Lancer) it was under the steering wheel column, to the left from the pedals.
Dome fuse should be intact in his case, or he changed that already. Because if dome fuse is fried, tacho and speedo will not work (Combination Meter). I had that problem (fried dome fuse) on my BMW. And I had a fried cig fuse on my corolla - no clock, no radio.
-
..Is there some other fuse that I may have blown..
huh..
you didn't said how you blew the first one, so how the hell we can tell you that?
just a suggestion.. could you please check all the fuses before asking a question like that? cuz you now.. we are not psychic here..
-
I think he said he has an automatic.
True about the key, though. I have that one with a chip in it. That chip is called immobilizer. You can't start a car if that chip (inside the key) is not in the car. You can simply hide the key somewhere in the car if you have a remote starter.
If you never done anything with you cars electric system I don't recommend you to do it yourself. Although it's kinda easy if you know what are you doing.

try eBay ;)

They still have drums on the rear wheels of a 2007 Corolla?
wow..
-
Hey, what's up? <_<
Now you know how to do it, so get busy ;)
-
Just watch the driveshafts when raising the engine. If you need to raise engine very high, you may need to remove them from wheels. And check for clearance between engine+transmission and chasis when raising.
-
Blue one is a breather tube. I still don't see where that vacuum hose goes (the one with the filter on it).
-
It should be available in Japan too, but I saw them in Europe.
Home sweet home... <_<
-
Do you want a formula or what? Stop wasting time on your computer and go back to garage.
My suggestion: Unbolt ALL transmission mounts from chasis (make sure you put something under the engine, cuz only one engine mount will be holding everything). Then unbolt rear mount from transmission. Jack up engine+transmission (make sure there is enough clearance to raise the engine+transimssion) until you can remove the rear mount.
-
I prefer this one:
Toyota Auris...
Not available in the USA though
:(It's a hatchback version of a Corolla. Before it was called Corolla too (like my car; it's the same corolla that you have here, but it's hatchback and you never had one in the US), but recently they changed that.
Why they change names that often?
They had like three different names for AE86. It was a Corolla, a Sprinter, and a Trueno.
-
I've heard that they wasn't too good with that thing in the first pic
-
get a 5E-FE from Tercel or Paseo.
Carburator? New engines are fuel injected and has electronic ignition (later 5E-FEs even has distributorless ones).
-
Just go to your local autoparts store and drop in a can of fuel injector cleaner every oil change and you'll be golden.
Yeah right.. ever heard about ultrasonic cleaning? Thats the only thing that cleans injectors..Everything else is bulsh*t.
-
Theoreticly - yes, Practicly - no. Just change fuel filter in time.
-
So.. What's the problem? If it's free of charge.

Ok, I will ask guys from my class, maybe they'll be intrested
Cuz my major is Automotive Technology, so we all kinda crazy about cars

check coolant temp sensor, idle air control valve and check for vacuum leaks. Could also be an ignition system problem. Like ignition wires.
