Hey guys,
Recently bought Slideways corolla he was selling,

have finally fixed it up, so now has brand new knock sensor, and brand new fuel filter..

Im just put a full tank of 98 in, along with some wynns injector cleaner..

still seems to have a couple issues..

seems to be running pretty rough, i think it may be an engine miss, but not to sure, any other possiblitys?

also when accelerating, the oil light comes on, any idea as to why? seems to be plenty of oil in there, seems to only be when under boost, doesnt do it when idling..

also where is the dipstick? just to make sure it does have enough oil lol

haha, drained it all out, new filter, put 4.5ltrs back in.. :lol:

did it pour out the top? 4.5L is too much for a 4age

by **z|gen** » Sat May 22, 2010 10:05 pm

nah, drank it all up aye..

might have to redrain it and see if that fixes it..

How about finding the dipstick and seeing what it has?

It should be between the cambelt cover and the alternator area.

the oil pressure light is wired up as a supercharger light... it used to have an oil pressure gauge with warning light

by **z|gen** » Sun May 23, 2010 12:21 am

haha righto then...

il get an oiil pressure guage for it tmrw then..

any ideas on the reason its running rough?

i think it might just need a tune up, but any other logical reason which imay have forgotten?

i don't know if it has run right since i blew it up... but i do know that it never ran well with a 4agze AFM, it was using a lot of gas so i got a good afm for it coz i thought the old one was poked, coz it had been opened up and then siliconed... turned out it had a 7mgte or similar AFM on it and it ran fine, but used gas, and it ran like ass with the factory AFM

sweet as..

i might just send it to maclennans and see if they can get it right for me,

i have another afm for it which i think is the one that Gavin had, so may see what i can come up with..

cheers for the help

alternator is moved to the front of the engine on the gze, so look between the cambelt cover and intake manifold

yup, found it now thanks..

just got to find the oil pressure switch, i suppose thats buried down the back?

by **ChaosAD** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:03 pm

just to the left of the oil filter, probably hiding behind an a/c or p/s pump

by **soopachargen** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:04 pm

on the gze i think its in behind the front ancillary bracket (ps/alt/ac, not fun to get to

by **pidge** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:05 pm

... and it's a b*tch to replace. Apparently.

by **z|gen** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:11 pm

haha, yeah, i think i found it now lol

have to remove the power steer, alternator, and a big hunk of steel..

by **soopachargen** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:11 pm

that hunk of steel holds the front end down so that the car doesnt float away

by **z|gen** » Sun May 23, 2010 5:13 pm

haha.. dont need it then? :lol:
