If it gets hot enough that you don't want to rest your hand on it, then that's too hot. The EFI relay powers up the ECU, so if that one has an intermittent fault, it can switch the engine off. Try swapping in another relay and see if it makes a difference. The round one is most likely the ENG MAIN r...

OK... next most popular suggestion is swap out the COR (Circuit Opening Relay). And while we are talking relays, you could try checking the temperature of all the relays in the underhood fusebox after the car has been running for a while. Any relay that gets HOT is suspect. A little bit warm is not ...

Should be set up in the software. Cranking + WOT = no fuel.
Crank with foot flat for 10 or 15 seconds to clear the excess fuel, then
lift your foot and crank normally.

Based on nothing more than numerous similar "dies when hot" posts, I would suggest you borrow a spare coil and igniter to swap in. Maybe swap the igniter first (make sure it is well bolted down as it grounds thru the outer casing). If that has no effect, put your original igniter back on, ...

With all that cranking it is most likely flooded. Have you tried
cranking in "flood clear" mode ? Pretty sure that will just be cranking
while you hold the throttle wide open.

If it were either of those issues, though, would it shift smoothly and operably, while the car is off? It worked fine on the bench, is why I asked. Not being a gearbox guy, I had to do a bit of research on this issue. Kind of interesting, so worth the effort. From what I see, the gears are in mesh ...

5th Gear (Or Any Other Gear) Pop-Out Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there about 5th gear pop-out (or any gear for that matter) being caused by worn syncros or some other problem with the syncros. The truth is, the synchronizer rings have absolutely nothing to do with a transmis...

Well, either the springs are too small or the top hat is too large
So to narrow the problem down, you will need to locate some OEM
items.. either GTS or SR5 will do. Check the OEM spring and/or top
hat dimensions against the ones you bought, and go from there.

The engine is running off the cold start injector. Check and make sure
you have 12V at the injectors when the key is in the ON position.

The adjustable Panhard Rod (aka transverse or lateral link) has been talked up to be an essential modification for anyone who lowers their AE86. You know the mantra... lowering the car will push the rear axle housing to one side and your car will drive in circles... yadda... yadda. So how does it wo...

In front you probably need to decide if you are going to work with the stock suspension, or use some kind of aftermarket coilover. Because if you use a coilover that comes with spindles, that takes care of the whole strut assembly. Then all you need to find are some lower control arms, brakes, steer...

There is only one thing that can cause the temp to drop in the way that you describe. And that would be if the thermostat was closed, and instead of opening gradually to modulate the temp, it snapped wide open. Suddenly a whole lot of cool water from the radiator would be allowed to start circulatin...

You will need a smallport fuel rail (works with bigport injectors).

Welcome to club4AG Ian :) Check out the earlier A-Series engines (2A, 3A, 4A) and you should be able to find the pulleys you need.

So after i set everything simultaneously, should the TPS be recalibrated after i put the TB back on? It would be a good idea to check and reset if necessary. If you have your multimeter and feeler gauges handy, you can do it in a couple of minutes on the bench before you put the manifold assembly b...

As you can see from this pic.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/muller/cylhead-1.jpg ... the four sets of cam lobes are set at 90 deg apart. Very often the engine will stop with two sets of valves partly open, but it is possible for it to stop with one set fully open and the others closed. Ch...

Maybe something along these lines ? You could add more louvres to suit. http://www.aerokits.net/cart/images/nissan/h8011cf_6.jpg Or for something a bit more agggressive, perhaps this one.

No... I am in New Zealand which is close to Australia and to the South Pole :) This also means all of his advice is upside down.

Sounds a bit like a booster problem to me, but I'm no expert on brakes, so maybe time to narrow things down a bit ? As I understand it, you can take the booster out of the equation if you disconnect the vacuum hose where it plugs into the booster. So how about this. Find a place where you can drive ...

When the engine is running, if all the throttle arms are resting on their throttle stops, you should be able to press down on the arms with your finger, and NOT hear any change in engine revs. If you do hear a change in revs, then something is out of adjustment. You are correct. If all the arms are...

Here is some information found on another site... I just acquired an 87 FX16 a while back and here are a few specifics: The AE87G in the VIN is the Vehicle Description Section, which is unique to each manufacturer (digits 4-8). Likely the first 3 digits for your VIN are 1NX, the World Manufacturer I...

The throttle opener holds the throttles slightly open when the engine is off. This apparently helps the engine to start, although many people remove and discard this item without any problems. When the engine fires, vacuum is applied to the throttle opener servo, and the rod retracts until it is cle...

OK... it seems like your AAV is working then, so you may as well take the plug out. Even when the valve is working, there is still a small amount of leakage when it closes (engine warmed up), but it only lifts the idle about 100rpm. You most likely have a vacuum leak somewhere.
