Update,
If I replace all those sensors, should that take care of all codes, or should I take it to a dealer for troubleshooting?

Thanks.

[img]Good evening 4AG Family. I finally got some time to go back to my FX and the 4AGE 20V Silvertop Engine. I keep getting the light under the dash to come on after driving at high speed, now it will stay on immediately after I crank the car. I jumped the TE1 and E1 at the diagnostic plug and the c...

Good afternoon experts, this will probable be stupid question, but I need to ask anyways. I noticed in every oil change the dealer perform in my Silvetop, they use a filter the fit the description of the vehicle (1987 Corolla FX) instead of the engine it self. I would like to use the filter recommen...

Good morning 4AG Family. Question, My current MAF Meter is working fine, but someone tried to move the screw to adjust the idling and I believe he messed the Air to Fuel ration calibration. Know he said he doesn’t remember if the screw was all the way down or halfway. He cannot remember how many tur...

Good afternoon 4AG family! Question for the experts. My Blue Angel engine blew yesterday as it was ran without oil. The dealership who make the mistake it’s helping with the cost, and offered to bring an engine if I can find one, and they will install it at no charge. My question is, should I look f...

(please help) My FX is running find, with the Silvertop 4AGE 20V, but lately it started to starve for fuel when there is at least 2 to 2-1/2 gallons of fuel in the tank. also, the gages doesn't go all the way to full or empty. only g...

Once again, here I am looking for help or advice from the experts here. after almost every part in the corolla A/C been replaced (Evaporator, Rebuild Compressor, Dryer, Lines Seals, Etc, the only thing left to replace is the condenser because we still have a leak and the only part left to be replace...

[img]hello 4age family, I would like to here for the experts here, what a good conversion will be for my Silvertop A/C Compressor to a 1987 Corolla FX. I have purchased 3 compressor so far since summer started and they all had the same problem.... Leaking. is there any place where I can send any of ...

Hello 4AGE Family. I need you guys help determining the codes on a silvertop. the light under the dash (I believe is connected to the ECU) is coming on after several minutes driving. It's not blinking, it just comes on, and stays on. it started happening few days ago, but I don't sense anything diff...

This goes for the experts, I am hunting a set of coil over for my AE82 but I am hesitant to pay the massive amount of dollar they cost over seas. I have found tons of options for AE90 and AE92 for a fraction of the cost. Can some one guide me, or confirm if the coilovers for those will fit a AE82? I...

Just wanted to give you a quick update. After testing and confirming fuel pressure. I relocated the ground point. Then based on an advise from an old school technician at one of the Toyota dealer that I service, he mentioned the problem could be on the Air Flow Meter as the unit controls the fuel an...

Sounds to me like it running extremely lean... barely enough fuel to support combustion. You definitely want to try the fuel into a bottle test while it is in that condition. An engine needs very little fuel to idle, but once you open the throttle and put a bit of load on the engine the required fu...

[quote="jondee86"]It is not possible to upload a video (or pics) directly to this site. You need to upload to a hosting service such as Youtube (or Imgur for pics), and then post the link here. Perhaps this can help. This is what it’s doing. By the way, when that light under the dash it’s ...

Thank you Jondee86,
You advise has been a great help.

I will update once I perform all the test, (waiting for the snow and ice from the storm to melt first).
I will end up replacing the fuel tank if necessary.

Have a great day!
Alberto Arias

Thank you for your response Jondee86, to response to your questions: 1. Before the problem the engine ran fine... normal power, no hesitation ? yes, the engine was running normally, before this problem. it only started a week ago 2. Was there a gradual loss of power or did it just lose power complet...

I need help from the Silvertop 4AG experts in this forum. this is my situation. I replaced the sender unit to correct the inaccurate reading in the instrument cluster. few days after the replacement, the FX now lose power while driving, the car start shaking and dies. this is very dangerous because ...

Good afternoon fellas, I am in need of some help, I will explain. I recently had a technician replaced the Silvertop wiring harness due to a electronic problem cause by a damaged harness, we replaced it with the same exact one from another Silvertop in almost new condition (no cuts). the ECU we are ...

Rick, Thank you for your response. I will keep that in mine if I need to search for another one. I ended up having the original one that came with that engine repaired, few capacitors were damaged and a line connecting a resistor was burned out. They reconnected and replaced all capacitors in the bo...

I am pretty sure some one of the experts here may have run through this already. I am in search of a Silvertop ECU. I cannot recall the part number that came originally with the engine. I heard from somebody that those ECU are unique for each engine and they don't interchange. Is that true? If not t...

Hello fellas, I am looking for an ECU for my Silvertop engine, I have found few on ebay outside USA. the original was replaced once few years ago, with the following 89661-12770, I cannot remember what was the original part number. but this last one seems to worked just fine. I am replacing the harn...

Folks, I need your experience here. ( I am not experience in this at all) I've been having this problem for a while now, and not too successful getting a mechanic who can identify the problem. I even consider purchasing a new engine and keep this one for spares, or pay someone to rewire the car (not...

Rick,
Thank you for you response.
Please check you inbox, I messaged you.
hopefully you still have the compressor available.

Thank you
Alberto

Fellas, My Air compressor decided to quit on me during this hot summer. after pulling the part number from the compressor "Denso 142500-2300" TV12C, I am having trouble to find a replacement, I even called Denso and they said since the engine is from Japan, they don't have a replacement pa...

Thank you Jondee86
I'll try that!!

New some advise please. My Silvertop engine seems to be idling very high at all times (about 1400-1500 RPM's) cold or hot, it doesnt lower the RPM's unless I turn the AC on and will go down tio about 800-900. the throttle cable seems to be loose enough, and the leveler between the throttles with the...

I have an AE82 with a Silvertop in it. it has a 5 speed forward transmission and a friend of mine is offering me a 6 speed transmission. is the swap worth it? would I gain anything with this swap? or is it more like a waste of money to gain one more gear?

Please advise

Thanks

Hello Beeker1-9 Do you happen to have by any change the Distributor housing for the Silver Top? I am in need of the distributor for this engine. it came from AE101 Corolla Levin 4AGE Silver Top. If you need to see some pictures in order to match it, I can email them to you. for some reason, I cannot...

Thank you Morgan..

GZE_RA21 and Jondee86 Thank you very much to both of you for your help. Seems like both of you are very experienced with the 4AG engines. I am not as good and the dealers around me trying to help are unfortunately useless, as they keep claiming the part numbers for this vehicle are not in their syst...
