I Hate Cars Mon, 30 September 2002 09:32 Go to next message
At the moment i'm starting to hate my car, Sunday i started working on it at 9:30am and finished at 10:30pm worked non stop with only very small breaks and changed all the timing shit and everything even cleaned the carbon crap off the pistons and head, then started it today and at idle the 4th cylinder is dead but seems to start to work as the revs pick up, no oil or water on the plug so i'm narrowed it down to having a leak in the manifold gasket which is causing the 4th cylinder to run lean, but i honestly couldn't be stuffed fixing it Crying or Very Sad

but i guess the good thing is even though the 4th cylinder is taking a holiday it still hasn't got much less power then what it did have so once i fix it woooooooohooooooooo can't wait to see how she goes Very Happy

Well I pulled the extractors and weber off stuck my fingers in the intake holes and the 4th was dry so clearly it had an air leak, plaved some sealant on the gasket put it back on really tight and wow Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy power more power then when i had it dyno tuned and its smooth power as well, but don't have the money to chuck it back onto a dyno to get the timing fine tuned again Crying or Very Sad

I recall a few people saying that is common faults with 18r's. that the inlet/exhaust gasket gets stuffed and leaks between each other, when I stripped out my mates corona it was blown on nearly every cylinder. my one saounds like it is leaking there and has a bad miss, but I couldn't be bothered ficing it cos it was a reason to get a 1g. now I have one on coming in I guess I will never get round to looking at it, but I will pull off the inlet and see when I pull the motor out.

If the motor starts to run on all 4 cyls when you floor it, it's more than likely an inlet manifold leak. When I bought my red RA23, it idled on 2 cyls but ran on 4 when you floored it. Driving it home was fun. I had to rev it pretty high and drop the clutch at every set of lights. It'd wheelspin for a few seconds, the revs would die down and I'd have to push the clutch in, rev it and dump it again. Anyway, I drove it to work like that (50km trip) and found it was the inlet manifold gasket. And a big vaccuum hose was off the manifold.
