What Is This Sensor?

[bucketep91]

what is the sensor at the top left hand side of the intlet manifold? its making a loud ticking noise and doing my head in

[ToyotaTech15]

Are you sure its not your injectors?

One of them makes a loud ticking noise on the 4efte

Its close enough to be mistaken for that sensor

Nope, its actually the idle control valve he's talking about.

If you unplug the electrical plug going into it you'll notice the revs drop slightly and the ticking will stop.

If you have an excessive amount of oil coming out ofthe breather then unfortunately your piston rings may be badly worn best to do a compression test to check the health of the engine.

how hard is it to do? that would be great mate

[WallaceGlanza]

You can buy a compression tester from halfords for less than £20 then all you need to be able to do is remove your spark plugs as thats where the tester go's.

[bucketep91]

how do you do it?

[WallaceGlanza]

First thing is to disconnect the king lead from the distributer and the efi fuse so there's no fuel and no spark. You are also supposed to do it with a warm engine.

Then you remove the spark plug from the first cylinder, screw in the tester then with the throttle fully open crank over the engine on the starter until the gauge stops reading any higher (maybe 5secs of cranking) then take the reading remove the tester and refit the first spark plug then move onto the second cylinder.

Repeat it for all 4 cylinders and compare the readings, they should be all be roughly the same and in the range of 150-180psi on a healthy engine.

good man cheers bud.

this should be fun and games lol
