jimmymac101 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 this is more of a repost as im still having this proplem and to be honest its bloody annoying! when my engine is warm and I put my foot down even slightly I get flat spots only gear it doesn't happen in is 5th. can anyone shed some light or give me idea on what it could be ? heres the orginal post : http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50980cheers James Quote
jimmymac101 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 i will have to go out and get one lol then work out how to upoad Quote
shorty Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Have you checked the timing with a gun? Checked the gaps on the plugs and as before could be the clutch going even mate. has it got worse? Quote
funny onion Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Mine had this problem, turned out to be Fueling (was running far far too lean). Might be something completely different, mines a gt so not sure about an NA. Quote
Asad Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 whats the revs when it gets the problem in the lower gears? Quote
shorty Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You could still be right though funny one.......... i mean funny onion lol as it could be something to do with the corolla inlet mani tbh. Quote
jimmymac101 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 The mani was on when I brought the car was fine then til about 3months ago roughly I will have to look into all these things I'm looking into getting a new clutch soon anyways and I don't think it matters what revs if I give it a quick push or push flat to floor it will still give me a flat spot but its defently when its warm never when its cold Quote
funny onion Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Exactly the same as mine dude, have a rolling road print out to prove it, was literally off the scale lean in the mid rev range. Just started riching up slightly before the limiter. All sorted now though but might not be a bad idea to get your afr checked, it will end in more tears if it is Fueling related than if it's just the clutch on the way out. Quote
shorty Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 aye id agree get the fueling checked on an rr isnt very costly (£30-60) and it does sound like clutch if its when warm bt defo worth checking fuel just incase as engine rebuild isnt what you want to be doing tbh. Quote
jimmymac101 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Well if it goes 5efe ;) but I'd be without a car for ages so.don't wanna do that yet thanks for the input I will look into that Quote
jimmymac101 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Right people I'm a little confused now I just went out for a drive and nothing :\ no flat spot yet this afternoon there was confused.com Quote
funny onion Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Maybe your stock lambda sensor is on its way out? Quote
