the point is only
find a mech that fixed cars (in the 90s ) and that toyota, 1.6L work almost the same way. (OBD1 then OBD2)
they made more corollas than any other car on earth. 40million
so most shops know the ropes on them.
20yo +25yo car= 44+year old mechanics, might know that. see? or if smart (LOL) forgot all that,?
the EGR is super complex on this car, as ways toys.
ECU to VSV to Vauum to modulator to EGR main and the silly CAT backpressure is used to modulate the EGR.
then in 1999 all that bad ended or 1996 sport J18 engine, twincam , the started using motor driven EGR and is all pure software drive now. (simple)
Id start at the 17mm bolt (set it to the new 1996 spec, 94fl/bls, do that the second own any G16
then compression tests. done throttle blocked open a bit, (wot) spark plugs out, and let it peak, x4.
We do that for 2 reasons, 1: to see if its bad, and 2 to see if the engine has a future....
see?
if no future, we might sell the car.
most folks shy away from putting $2000 new engine in a $50 car , dead cars have very low value, unless super lucky seller)
worse on dead A/t transmission can test engine to see if engine has full power. so is huge crap shoot on buying a dead car like this...
things to ponder buying any dead car. (or with 1/2 power)
