Hi,

I've got an ae82 corolla with 4a engine.

I've got oil leaking from the petrol pump which is mounted to the rear of the motor.

What is my best plan of attack to fix this?


Cheers
James

really, seems alittle high for a SC

k thanks guys, fan works, cap sweet, fushed it out once i'll give that another go this weekened

I've had this problem with both my starlets with both of their k-series motors, how do i stop the motor from over-heating if im stoped with the car running for a few minutes or at major traffic jams.


Radiator is in reasonbile condition, it's a stardard kp60 item with a few broken fins


any ...

yeh they are pretty old, going to replace them next.

I don't think they are the problem though as it seems to be getting perfect spark

oh k, it has a leak but i can't see how it could affect it.

It's right at the end of the rear muffler where the muffler meets the exit pipe! it's been like that for about 5 months tho, not prior problems

Well it's more of a constand pop pop pop pop pop whenever your not accelerating except for at idle.

Not just when you decelerating say when comming up to a giveway but even changing up/down gears.


What could it be? I have gaped plugs,and points got new rotor and dizzy cap, adjusted timing ...

Hey thanks for the reply, whats a float level?

It's like the choke is killing the motor, by stuffing up the mixture. hard to explain

Get in car, pull choke out turn key, no gas pedal

car starts then dies, start again car dies, turn key again car starts quickly put choke back in so motor doesn't die again and put foot on gas once again car ...

hmmm anyone got any ideas on the choke problem as its' a biatch to start in the mornings!

OK i've fixed up the vacum hose and thats sweet,

Still having hesitation issue at low revs, and the other thing is frist thing in the morning when i pull the choke out and start the car it runs and then dies even though the choke is all the way out?

would that mean that my fuel mixture is ...

Thanks the picture above is how i thought it should be, but it doesn't want to run smoothly like that

intake to carb ? or do you mean from the filterbox ?
you will also need a hose from the dissy to the carby..

Nope not that one, it comes out of the front of the carb and goes straight down to a connection on the intake manifold, I'm sure it surposed to go from the carb to the dizzy but it runs ...

Hey, just asking if some people could post pictures of there engine bay with a 4k in it?

Just need to make sure my vacum lines a correctly hooked up.

As at the moment the motor is running sweet, idling well but is abit hesitant (sp) at low revs.

I have the hose comming out of the carb and ...

sorry i wont answer your question because i have a fair idea but i don't want to put you in the wrong direction!

But why do you want to replace your blacktop with a 4agze?

oh k i don't think its a 4k-u!

Still running like styte not really sure where to start!

also does anyone know how to tune a carb?

Is it a 4K-U? If it is, it may be that you have a leak in one of the many, many vacuum lines around the motor. I did in my KE70, I removed most of the vacuum lines and bits and pieces, took a while to block the right hoses, but now she idles as smooth as a swedish supermodels' ass! I did it because ...

Correct, the light should constantly flash.

I'd start by lifting off the distrubutor cap and looking to see that all the parts are nice and clean and free from "burn marks" on the contacting points, then if you think you're up to it pull of the rotor and cover to check the points. Might also be a ...

don't think its firing consistantly on every cylinder, how will a timing light determine whether it is or not?

Timing lights work off the signal going through the lead, so if you hook the light up to one lead at a time it will tell you which (if any) has no power.

what i wanted to hear! i ...

Have you tried adjusting the idle speed and mixture? There are a couple of screws on the side of the carb which you can fiddle with to smooth out/speed up the idle.

The problem could also be a vacuum leak in one of the lines somewhere.

yip tried playing round with this!

don't think its ...
