Hello all.. Been awhile. as some of you know, i had an 86 dx.. then got into the Toyota world and the wonderful line of the 3s Motors.. Now im back the the a20 for Economy driving..
theres a few Problems that are pissing me off though.
#1. The PGM-FI light has come on a few times, it goes away once i restart the car. and lately ever since i started using Premium it does not come on. (got rid of the slight knock it had)
#2 It will not rev past 5k rpms what so ever. even in neutral or any gear. 3rd only goes to 4200 rpms.. When i say this, i mean, Its like it hits Fuel cut. it nose dives. The car runs fine. seems Really under powered but manageable around town. Heaven forbid i try to pass anybody on a Rural highway though.
#3 the Idle seems a tad rough. likes to just randomly. move between 7-1100 rpms.
#4. Lately it has a BAD Warm starting problem. It will fire right up and drive no problems cold. But alot of the time, if its warm. i have to crank it 5-15 times and then take a break. and try again. Eventually it start. but it bogs for the first 3-8 seconds
Can you guys Please help me out. it has 174k it is a 5speed. and its gas mileage seems a bit lower then expected. (25mpg average)
:)
