Re: AE86 Panda two tone paint

Generally - tape the whole car off after stripping all the loose parts, primer, base coat (white), tape the whole car off again for the panda pattern, spray the black, remove secondary tape job, spray clear. Then the usual.wet sanding and buffing. If you're using spray paint you can just go to town...

Re: 20V Black top Fuel Injectors question

you can purchase the parts at a dealer. Top & Bottom Insulators - 23291-75010 Upper O-Ring - 90301-17007 Lower O-Ring - 90301-14006 OR look for a set for the 1J injectors at the local parts store. Are you saying the 1J injector o rings are the same for the black top? Ahh those insulators I can ...

Re: AE86 Rough Start up

OK... we need to figure a way to get the fuel pump to run for a couple of seconds before you try and start the engine. If shorting the FP test plug didn't work ( and it should have) there is another way. You need to take the airfilter off your AFM (Air Flow Meter) and while the key is ON, push the ...

Re: AE86 Rough Start up

It sounds like it is over fuelling but I'm not sure that there is an error code for that when the engine is first started as the O2 sensor is not reporting. Have you checked for stored error codes? Maybe try disconnecting the cold start injector to see if there is a difference? I can check if there...

Re: AE86 Rough Start up

Cranking speed sounds about normal to me. If you were to turn the engine off straight after it started to run clean and smooth, and then start it again, would it still struggle and shake, or would it start up like normal ?

Re: AE86 Rough Start up

Cold start injector does not affect how fast the engine cranks. But if it is not working it will affect how long the engine has to crank at normal speed before it catches. If you have a timing light you could check the ignition timing while the engine is warmed up and idling. You should have around...

Sorry... got my posts mixed up :? Is the battery getting weak... cranks slow until it catches ? Easy way to check is to jump start your car using another car with a good battery as a booster.

Re: 20V Black top Fuel Injectors question

Might be cheaper to buy some of these and you will get the o-rings with the injectors. You will need to save the nose insulators from your existing injectors (rubber rings) that seal the tip of the injector to the inlet manifold. Refurbished items from China but don't let that put you off, they wil...

Might be worth checking if there is a business near you that can clean and flow test your injectors. Injectors don't usually crap out all at once, but they can get clogged up with dirt or old fuel if they have sat for a while. And if you are running a stock blacktop with a factory ECU, you don't wa...
