I recently bought a 1996 T4R SR-5, V-6, automatic tranny with 195 k miles on it. I'm in Tijuana Mexico. I think I bought a lemon because as soon as I fix one problem another two problems pop-up.
I cleaned the MAF, put in new spark plugs, new battery, changed the oil and oil filter and it SEEMED to be running fantastic.
Then all hell broke loose. 1st the alternator went out. I replaced it. Now, there is a noise coming from the engine compartment. When a take my foot off the gas pedal, it stalls out. The tail lights immediately blow a fuse as soon as I turn on the lights. The instrament panel does not light up and the alarm has stopped working.
I paid $1,600 for it and put in another $400
Any advise or suggestions on how to unload this lemon greatly appreciated. Yes, I know I can put an ad in Craigs List but how to word it. Mechanic's special ? needs work ? etc Hell, a potential buyer could not drive it because it stalls at every stop light or when I hit the brakes.
