Choosing 1984 Toyota Starlet Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Starlet tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Starlet.

Toyota Starlet Tire Repair Questions

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Starlet as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do my Starlet tires keep losing air? Your Starlet tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

Top Toyota StarletCar Battery Questions

Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • How long do car batteries last?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Starlet’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Starlet, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals.

1984 Toyota Starlet Oil Changes

Toyota recommends having your 1984 Toyota Starlet’s motor oil changed at regular intervals.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

1984 Toyota Starlet Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Starlet?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Starlet oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Starlet oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Starlet spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Questions About 1984 Toyota Starlet Engine Tune-Ups

  • What happens if my Toyota Starlet spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Starlet? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Starlet need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

1984 Toyota Starlet Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 1984 Toyota Starlet, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Starlet jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump.

We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Questions About 1984 Toyota Starlet Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Starlet bouncing so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Starlet to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Starlet front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Starlet's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

A/C Service for Your 1984 Toyota Starlet

Our technicians will work to solve your 1984 Toyota Starlet A/C problems to the best of their ability.

To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1984 Toyota Starlet A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Starlet A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Starlet's A/C system.
  • What is causing my Starlet’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Starlet’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Toyota Starlet leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Starlet transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota Starlet if it has a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Starlet if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
