[Sa Wreaking Ke70 Flat Front]

what colour is the dash?

[Charging Light Stays On]

ok, if you fix all the engine earth points to the body correctly, that will only help the spark system and the starter motor opperate, the negetive battery line is supposed to be connected directly to the body!

 

just found a wiring diagram for a 1974 corolla, traced all wires coming from the alternator and regulator...

you should have a wire coming from the regulator to:

-battery (+)

-ground, earth (-)

-n and f (communication between alt and regulator)(two wires)

-(most probably your problem) dash warning light

-to the ignition switch (so when the keys are not inserted, the engine cannot be started)

 

so their is a separate wire that goes to the warning light, check where those wires are going to because you either have a short or the wire is connected to the wrong place :)

 

hope this helps and good luck :)

keep us posted!

[Ke70 Starting When It Wants To?]

heyy mate,

mine did that when the battery was at about 11 volts charge,

the previous owner had the starter and ignition wiring replaced and made no difference,

so when I got the car, I put a relay in and the the relay basically switched the full battery load to both the starter and the solenoid, the car never has starter motor problems again :)

 

 

very easy to wire up, just need a high amperage relay, high amperage cable and a high amperage fuse(normal amperage of battery needed for cabling and relay),

1. disconect the wire from the ignition side of the solenoid and plug into either pin 86 or 85

2. attach high amperage cable to + side of battery and attach fuse,

3. attach other end of fuse to pin 30

4. attach pin 87 to solenoid on the starter motor

5. mount relay and tape up all connections

 

Note. DO NOT ignore the fuse, it could save your battery and all electrics in the car if something goes wrong :)

[4K Engine Noise]

hmm yeah but the noise is from the top of the engine, it really sounds like a tappet but i checked them and made no difference

[4K Engine Noise]

heyy all,

 

my little 4k has developed a ticking noise and it starting to get on my nerves

 

it occurs only when accelerating and i have tried adjusting the tappets and that made no difference

 

any ideas?

 

cheers scotty

[Ke70 Clutch]

Heyy all,

I have a quick question, when I let the clutch out in my ke70, it makes a groan. it is a high pitch noise. I've only heard it in first when taking off at 1500 revs. it is an exceedy heavy duty clutch on a 5speed k50 and stock 4k engine. is this noise normal or has somthing been broken?

cheers Scott
