Mikey Jay Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Has anyone else had idling problems after fitting their corolla manifold?Since fitting it my engine has been idling rather high and my fuel consumption has gone rubbish.Anyone else experienced this and if so, how do you resolve this?

Idrees Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Get a new gasket for the throttle body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Is there an idle control valve on the mani for the N/A? Easy to adjust on the GT's so if theres one on the N/A i should be easy too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Oh yeah, also, the car accelerates slowly on it's own in both 1st and 2nd gear Which is odd I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Must be the accelerator cable then mate.The Corolla inlet doesn't have little holder for the accelerator cable like the standard 4EFE one has, so the people that fitted the inlet must have modified it to hold the cable? Sounds like they've put it in the wrong place or something.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey Jay Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Right, getting a bit fed up of stuff not going right though The GT seats had to be forced in despite being 'a straight swap' and then the mani has gone in and caused problems ;) (once again supposedly being something that is easy and problem free) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ian Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 who put your corrolla mani on dude?sounds like the throttle cable has been adjusted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 My local mechanic, he reckons it's because there's a small gap between the throttle body and corolla manifold, as apparently the flange of each doesnt line up correctly, whatever that means....

Mikey Jay Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Maybe he just didn't adjust the idle control valve after fitting the mani?Will ask mechanically minded people at the meet tomorrow, see what they say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
