TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Throttle body plate used and surging idle

4A-GE Engine Parts • 4ag Vibrant Vacuum Block Kits
Hey guys, The past couple months I started a project where I wanted to attach my Vibrant Vacuum Block to the side of my 4ag, and keep everything tucked away and hidden. I don't really have the tools to do any major fabrication in my garage, so I decided to 3D model these little mounts […]

There should be a set screw with a nut that stops the plate assembly at a "closed" point. you can adjust that, if needed, to have it close a bit more.That's if adjusting the throttle cable doesn't work.Statistics: Posted by morgan — Wed Feb 05, 2025 5:24 am
TECH: Corolla AE86 • Re: Throttle body plate used and surging idle
I tried to remove the throttle plate and ran into the same problem. I even applied heat to the throttle plate and could not remove the screws. One possible option is to grind down stop to allow for more travel or see if you loosen the nut on the cable side of the shaft. This […]

OWNERS and BUILDERS • Re: My red hatch (fix-up and restoration)
Thanks for chiming in Dan.The compression ratio is for the small port high comp piston is 10.3:1, so with some material taken off the head/block (I don't have exact numbers on those in front of me), and a stock head gasket at 1.2mm thickness (torqued), that would put me very slightly above 10.3:1 (it makes […]

Okay here is where I left the gears, you can see they are almost at zero, but not quite. This adjustment kept the openings and closings of the intake/exhaust values lined up exactly with the cam card, otherwise I think they were happening 10-20 degrees before/after they were supposed to. It is interesting that a […]
