Well that solinoid seems to be working good. clicks when i ground it out.

Is there a way to bypass this solinoid to confirm if that is the problem? And if my solinoid is bad where can I get one? Mine has a one wire with square clip connector.

Well i swapped #2 and #3 plug wires and the carb back fired. Once I swapped back again their original positions and started the car, it acts the same. So I took the carb off and dissassembled it and soaked it into a bucket of carb cleaner. Once reassembledand started, it still does the same thing!!!! I'm stumped!!!! :blinks:

would it be a internal vaccum leak from the carb? with the engine running I can place my hand over the carb and its got plenty of vaccum, and will stall out; I can hear any leaks.

My 77 ke30 has a 3kc 5 speed in it right now, but I would like to upgrade to a 2tc/3tc at some point. What will I need in order to mount this engine in my car. I also want to retain a 5 speed tranny; will my 3kc tranny work with the 2tc/3tc engines, and what will i need to convert the manual clutch cable that goes from drivers side to passengers side to a hydrolic clutch?

Hello all!! I'm new to the corolla world and have recently picked up a 77 ke30 with a 3kc engine. I've owned the car for about two months and havn't had any problems with the engine until a week ago. The engine would die at stops. I will start up but will not idle. in order to keep it running I've got to keep my foot on the gas pedal; I've noticed that there is a miss under low idle. At first I thought it to be bad gas, so I drained the tank and disassembled and cleaned the carb. That did not change anything. I also checked the tune up parts and found the plugs to be good,but the contact points seem a little worn so i replaced them. Still no change. I even did a compression test and it seems good; all are at 175 psi. I'm stumped! anybody run across this before or have any recommendations?
