Remember my old tercel sounded like a machinegun when the whole ignitionsystem crapped out. Adjusted the points, changed a plugwire and throw in som old sparkplugs from a volvo and it ran like new again 👍 Had to stop towing my boattrailer when the whole back of the car started disintegrating from rust 😂
@BeardedWrencher6 ай бұрын
That was basically what I had to do here. I changed the spark plugs and one of the wires was broken. I think the broken wire was the cause of the main misfire. I really should have got it on video but I did not unfortunately

That would be real awesome! There's a guy who has one on a 4Runner frame with a 1UZ engine. I think I have a video with it in it on the 2022 M&G video. I also have some videos in my "off-roading" playlist of me wheeling with these wagons.

Hello man I need you're help... is in regards of the issue you experience in this video with the car in the minute 10:20... Do you remember what wire you fixed? I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE and It will really help me to find out where the problem is.... thanks....
@BeardedWrencher6 ай бұрын
Is it sputtering and misfiring constantly or only on startup or after it gets hot? Check these -Check And replace spark plugs and wires if necessary -Check and replace cap, rotor and coil if necessary. - Verify timing is at 10degreea -Verify fuel filter is clean and replace if necessary -Check vacuum system - Check carb base plate bolts and make sure they're not loose, same with intake and exhaust manifold. There are several other things to check but I would start there After that if it's still doing this, replace the fuel pump.
@natanvasquez55896 ай бұрын
@BeardedWrencher is actually on both cases, but the main problem is when I try to speed up because the power is weak, so I was wondering if there was any wire damaged causing this issue? Thanks
@BeardedWrencher6 ай бұрын
It would likely not be a wire. The only real wire that it needs is a spark plug wire and the wire to the distributor coil. I would check your timing and check all the things I listed before going crazy. It's likely something simple

Can you show how too ground temp sensor? And where can i get a fuel tank for a 4wd
@BeardedWrencher6 ай бұрын
I can do that! The part number for the gas tank is -Spectra T01A. A t01b is technically for a Corolla but they do fit. Just not as snug as the regular tank. I'd check rockauto,. Amazon or Google search the number. I'm sure someone has one. Good luck!

It is a good buy if your original one gets too rusty. Are you thinking to rust proof this one if you drive it during winter?
@BeardedWrencher6 ай бұрын
It is going to my friend Seth's later this year to get the small bit of rust repaired and hopefully undercoated. I am not planning on driving this car in the winter at the moment but ya never know when it'll unfortunately need to be on daily driver duty!

The inclinometers are 83/84 SR5 only in the US. They were available at least on Japanese models throughout the entire production. Possibly EU and German versions as well.

@@BeardedWrencher they were that uncommon? damn, I had like 5 of them at one point, mounted where the stereos go in my Jeeps. even hooked up the indicator light to my sensor on the transfer case and everything. all harvested from Harry's U-pull it in Hazleton, PA about 25 years ago.
