Re: Juiceing the Automatic 3A

Ah ok, I didn't know that.

After going through my swap and looking back on it now, a 4A-FE swap would definitely be the way to go.

Re: Juiceing the Automatic 3A

Who said the 3A block doesn't with the 4A heads? My motor is a frankenstein 4AGE, 3AC block with 4AGE head. Runs great and is very rev happy. Of course there are some things that need to be tinkered but that goes with any swap. The advantage of the 3A block is that it's cheap to bulk up and has the ...

Re: 86 Tercel DLX 3AC dieing at stop light. Help please?

What carb did you replace it with? A factory replacement?

Sounds like your idle adjustment might be way off. Many mechanics don't know how to work on these cars unless they know 80's Japanese cars and carbs.

Re: 86 Tercel DLX 3AC dieing at stop light. Help please?

Have you done a compression test yet? I would look into that next as it appears you've almost replaced everything else.

I would also double and triple check your vacuum lines to make sure they are all hooked up correctly.

Have you replaced or checked to see if your TVSV valve works correctly?

Re: New member from Portland, OR - '86 Tercel Wagon DLX

Re: New member from Portland, OR - '86 Tercel Wagon DLX

Few issues: 1) Exhaust (open manifold, VERY loud) 2) Running slightly rough, we're thinking it's timing related 3) Also probably needs a new TPS sensor, which I'll be picking up tomorrow from Pick and Pull I also found that the battery had a very low charge level so it's on the slow charger right no...

Re: New member from Portland, OR - '86 Tercel Wagon DLX

Underestimated how much wrap would be needed. This is after 25' worth, thank goodness for overnight shipping. (wink) The rest will be here on Friday and will be patched up when I pick it up that evening.
