Help Needed with my Levin

Postby TruenoTadhg » Sat Apr 26, 2014 9:32 am

Hi,

I've recently bought an ae111 Levin and now it is giving me trouble. :( The Check Engine light is on. It idles low at about 500rpm and is running rich. There is no Pull out of it. Its seriously down on power since I first bought it. It feels choked up. The temperature dial in the car isn't showing correct temperature either. It shows fairly low and i can tell by the smell of the engine when i stop that it is very hot.

I did a Diagnostic test on it and was getting fault code 13. (Knock Sensor)

Any help much appreciated on fixing these problems :)

Sounds like your belt tensioner might be on the way out. Get the
timing belt covers off, then check the belt tension and the cam timing.
