Hey guys, First time owning a corolla so please go easy on me ha

 

Now in the attached picture where the box is What is this called? and on the bottom of it there is 2 tiny holes are there ment to be fuel coming out? if not what could cause this??

Fuel pump.

 

No it isn't.

 

It's broken.

 

Replace it.

the thing in the box is called your fuel pump!

 

the leaking holes indicate that the diaphram inside the fuel pump has ruptured.

 

they put those little holes there so that you know that the pump diaphram has ruptured.

 

only option is to buy a new fuel pump. that thing in the box will come off with 2 x 12mm bolts into the block (maybe 10mm), pull of the fuel lines and remember where they go, and you put a complete new shiny silver thing on.

 

a brand new fuel pump will cost around $100 or so i would think, you may be able to get a 2nd hand one from the wreckers, but i suggest a brand newy.

 

edit: dagnamit, redwarf beat me to it. and he only used 9 words.

Thanks guys , Could that be any reason why its not idling properly? or could that be the fuel and idlie screws ?

could be, I'm sure its not helping the situation.

 

i would be more concerned about the leaking fuel first!

 

grab another fuel pump and see how it goes.

Hopefully getting one soon and starting from there, what should she idle at?

if you have a tacho aim for 800-900ish.
