Early 90s carburettor Japanese car 1.6l..4a-FC engine first sympton is general rough erratic idle, and pig-rooting and jerking a fair bit when at cruising speed and working through gears.. other strange symptom notices especially when cold or luke warm engine, was engine pulsed up and down rhythmica...

all dealt with.

oh, well, since then I solved the issue of loosening the AC belt..

R&R Water pump on these is not much simpler than it is on a ****** Daewoo...

just once and get away with it, as I figure members here will likely have experience with something like an early 90s Corolla as well as its a GM board, best technicality I can cite is that aE9# Corolla like this was sold as a "Holden Nova" here as well? ---------------------------------------------...

on a lot of interference engines its mostly the intake valves which are damaged, while the Ex escape..is the Daewoo DOHC like this?

which is good at least, as an intake valve replace is less labor intensive than an exhaust replace, ie if ur not choosing to do full valve service on undamaged valves..

I came across some kind of mechanical survey online on these engines, which said that the majority maybe 70% plus of actual belt failures and resultant valve damage etc, trace to WP failure rather than actual belt failure in its own right. I used a QH belt recently on my job on that one I wrote abou...

not a good feeling and not a good look, when youre Mr Man, take your chicks car apart , everything seems great until the would be moment of triumph. and its dead.
