  1. hahaha how did u mange to rolle it

    my corollas broken down on me now getting it fixed tomora I'm have the worst luck with cars my last one was a lovley 1990 cressida and in a week the engine went so had to sell it at a loss and everthign pay people back so now I'm deat free and got find some car worth saving up for thats going to last me a long time

     

    iv gota save up still so i might find a dirfernt kind of car till then but right now i recon the ae101 sedans are pretty cool

  2. OK car was running fine yesterday and i started it up today and it ran fine untill about 500m away from my house and now its doing it again and my cars stuck at work i can't even drive it i got a new fuel pump and every thing but it didnt fix it so i don't know whats going on

  3. car was running like shit again last night even worst coz i didn't seal the gaskets when i toke it apart to clean it up so i needed to take my carby apart again and put gasket sealing on ever single gasket put it back to gather let it dry for a bit and then start it up and ran really good i then checked the timing and hade to adjust that to about 10* pass TDC it was at like 5* before and i can make it idle so low now

     

    so any one else that doesn't not know much in the future that has problem with there car hoping when ur going 100 on the highway not (ruff) idling, does not take off smooth ect it mite be something like this which will not cost a lot to fix

     

    1st check ur timing (3k engine is around 8* to 10* pass TDC)

    2nd take ur carby apart clean it with some carby cleaner or degreaser or something

    3rd clean all the stuff off the surfaces where the gaskets go

    4th get a rebuit kit gasket ket that will work don't us sealer it stuffs it right up , put the gaskets in and put it back to gather

    5th let the gasket sealer set then put the carby back in and tune and take it for a run it should run and idle a lot better if u have the same problem as I had if that dosnt go to a mechanic or some one with mechanical experience

  4. Whoa ur car must be pretty advance man HaHaHa my cars a 1972 it doesn't have one of them its only got 1 fuel line going to it and 1 vacuum hose I don't know how my car turns off but I'm guessing its something to do with the spark plugs

     

    I don't know what's WAS wrong with my car but I played with the spark plug leads and other power leads and it still ran like shit so I left it for 1hr and started it up again and it ran fine

     

    it started to run like shit last night after I finished thrashing the shit out of it, all the time I was trashing it the bloody chock was on so I turned that off and then it ran kept dieing it wouldn't idle but all fixed now and cleaned out the carby and now it runs beta then it did before when it was running alright

  5. car running like shit wont idle ect i have to keep my foot down to keep the engine going i thought the carby was blocked so i toke it apart and cleaned it up

     

    it was a little rusty and corroded but i cleaned it and nothing was blocked ,put it all back together and back on it still wont idle right IT DRIVES ALRIGHT its just the it wont idle properly so went I take my foot off the peddle it runs like shit and same when I stop (sorry if this confuses any one its hard to put in words)

     

    it sounds like it idling good for a few seconds and does then it sounds like its going to die and idles really ruff then sounds good again then sounds like its going to die or does die

     

    I don't know if it's the carby or maybe fuel pump or something else I really don't know and I want to fix so it can run normal again

    :D

  6. i just got this car coz my nice car (toyota cressida) engine is stuffed and i needed something to get around in so i don't have any money to get another car it only really started to smoke really bad when i put that stop smoke nulon stuff in it so i might do an oil change and filter and see if it still blows smoke bad

     

    while also was revving the shit out of the poor old engine trying to maybe blow that shit out or burn it all up but it didn't really work I toke it for a long run on the freeway today and it didn't smoke that bad after a little

     

    I was having a look in my engine bay at the alternator and I noticed a block of wood in-between the intake and the exhaust and in-between the starter motor and the alternator I couldn't get it out I have to remove the alternator to do so and I don't know what the block of wood is doing there its only sitting in there loosely

     

    With the alternator the charge light didn't come on today so

    (strange things these corollas one day something not working and the next day its fixed it self )

  7. Yeah I might get a chain block what do I attach it to it and what not

     

    its chain block pulley thing ay

     

    I could always blot it up to car part roof, do u think it will hold?? If I bolt it up to the wood things under the plaster bored roof if not what do I get to hold the chain pulley block thing?

     

    Also should I just get another engine say like a 4k or a 5k and put new piston rings and all the other stuff and drop it in or would it not be worth it

     

    are they same engine mounts is it an easy job if any one knows ??

     

    arhh also my alternator stopped working today the change light stays on does this mean my alternator is stuffed

  8. How hard would it be to put new pistion rings in 3k

    would i be able to do it with the engine still in the car

     

    my cars blowing a lot of smoke and using up a lot of oil latey so I'm guess its time for some new pistion rings get the head shaved and new head gasket and all that unless its somting eles?

     

    I'm just wondering with the 3k engine if I would be able to do this work with out taking the engine and if any one would know how much it would cost to get the head shaved and how much for the pistoin ring and head gasket seat ??
