dingaling Forums Junkie Location: tas Registered: June 2002	3S-F engine no power. Help please. Tue, 31 August 2004 11:10 My mum is away and i thought i would work on her camry (89 apollo) as it's been neglected. The car lacks power, put it in 'L' and floor it and it takes forever to get above 4000rpm. Even when in nuetral it seems slow to rev. I did the timing wich was retarded abit, and replaced the air filter as it was caked right up with dust. The car still lacks power. I know these engines are gutless, but it use to have alot more go then this, it's as if it's running on 2 cylinders. (i checked all cylinders are firing wich they are) I checked the carburettor and noticed when you give it throttle, the butterfly thing (sorry dunno what it's actually called) doesn't open up at all, i'm new to carburettors, i am used to EFI cars. Maybe the butterfly only opens up when under load and kicks in (is it a secondary inlet?). The choke is fully open. Maybe i am looking in the wrong area? any suggestions would be great! the engine in question is a 3S-F 16valve narrow head pov carb model camry. [Report message to a moderator]
