Guest Brad Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Hey guys, As you know I own a KE35 with a very very shagged 3K motor due to lack of funds I haven't been able to fix the motor. I will be getting some decent money very shortly, but in the mean time my 3K is not happy, when you start it up in the morning, I let it warm up for a couple of minutes, then when you put the foot down just a little bit it has a miss fire and just wants to die, must be at like 1500RPM to 2000RPM it has a miss, so you have to rev the shit outta it so it won't die, I thought it was because my 3K was cold, but it even does it when its at operating temp, I have tried new spark plugs to no avail, done the timing its spot on. I was maybe thinking it was a carbie/fuel problem? I will be glad when I get rid of the diesel sounding piece of shit! Thanks guys, Brad Quote
Guest Brad Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Okay so was going to wash it this arvo started fine backed it out, moved it so Trent could get his car in the garage, and now it won't start at all, just cranks and doesn't have any spark, tested if its getting fuel, its getting fuel, you put some down its guts and it isn't sparking, tested if it was the points, was getting spark now it isn't. I've nearly had it with this piece of shit engine. Brad Edited March 24, 2006 by Brad Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 When you get it to run...do a 10/10 tune...10 thousand RPM for 10 seconds Quote
Trent-KE30 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Lol Geoff That's what i told him to do :P Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 It works like a charm...especially if it's in gear and smoking both back wheels at the time :P Quote
Guest Brad Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 lol, sorry I can't pull myself to do that. :P Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Gimme the keys...I will do it... Did you get it running yet? There is so little to making a corolla engine run Quote
Guest Brad Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 lol, nah man it got to dark to work on it, I will have a look tommorow morning. Quote
TRD ke70 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 try a new set of points, test to see if you have power to the points by turning the ignition on and opening the points with a screw driver, if you have power the points are f@$ked, if not check for broken connection. common problem for points :P thank f@$k for electronic ignition.

Guest Brad Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 Well I think we found the problem, we took the dizzy cap off, checked the points it wasn't sparking, took it off and it had a hole in the little bit of metal that it touches. So went to Repco bought a new one and it seemed to of fixed the miss fire and now the car starts up! Thanks for all the help guys :P Brad Quote
Guest Brad Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Yep my old man helped me with it! Cheers Quote
rsdn Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 i had the same problem few months ago.... i tried all the things above 2...spark plug, timing, etc...but no avail.... Then i tried changing the distributor cap an the spark cables n the misfiring just dissapeared... Quote
Guest Brad Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Yeah I know, I was confused, but I spose probably one of the first places to look would be the points, I didn't realise they could get a giant hole in them :P Quote
