Sorry for bugging you again and again but its hard to find experts like you who are willing to help. So I took the car to Suzuki 3S for the issue and they said the car needs a tuneup and thats all. So what do you suggest should I get it from Suzuki 3S or Jamil Autos you recommended earlier?

@xulfiqar @capsat my corolla altis 2007 1zzfe manual transmission, has slow throttle response feels like acceleration is sticking and engine feels heavy. And it gives 7-8km/l with AC in local traffic.

My location is rawalpindi. The car didn't had any major issues and has ran fine uptill now. I am using Shell Helix 10W40 oil in it. I donot know if spark plugs are changed or not. But the car has CAI installed instead of regular air filter. Will change transmission oil Aisin MTF GL4

Hi @Xulfiqar bhai i am looking for some professional help regarding Db15 carby auto choke wiring, I just bought my dolphin 95 with stock carby engine and i have noticed that the wire from auto choke is cut loose i can't find other end to which it goes can someone guide me where and how can i wire it(does it needs to be direct switch current or through any temperature sensor) if i want it to rewire it with new connection since i can not find the original wiring it goes into. Since its not working my car as soon as reaches normal running temperature drops RPM below critical level and car starts to stall as i lift foot from accelerator. but when i start it cold it idles fine around 600-800 Rpm

TIA

that stupid cone shaped exposed filter is a very fast way of destroying engines, it lets fine dust pass right through into the engine and eventually the engine machines itself to death.

Did you ever have its health check done? like compression test and valve clearance test etc etc.....

pwuser147983858371 (Raja Ahmed) 2017-08-01 21:22:08 +0500 #8423

Nope didn't get compression test. And for valves it seems alright but never got them adjusted.

Xulfiqar (Xulfiqar) 2017-08-01 21:48:03 +0500 #8424

That wire is tied to a coolant temperature sensor which is on the thermostat housing or the inlet manifold coolant passage (depending on engine model).

The idle is adjusted when the engine is fully warmed up (thermostat housing more than 85C) - that way when the fast idle cam is engaged the idle adjusts to 1200 rpm. (its also adjustable)

@Xulfiqar , may you please share some of your experience on my query ,i am listening that hissing sound since many days when engine goes to its optimal temperature,fuel everage has dropped dramatically . I
have checked the brake booster and adjacent hoses all OK , cant foresee
about booster itself but with a faulty brake booster your brake pedal
pressure should go down that's not the case here ,brakes are perfectly
OK,in addition ,if i pinch the brake booster vacuum line with fingers idle does not sustain . Source of the sound is surly is somewhere under the driver side
wheel arch or the driver side strut mount and brake booster side . It looks like a vacuum leak , already have observed the vacuum line around intake ,nothing wrong found , tested with the carb cleaner spray onto intake ,idle remains constant . Idle is perfect ,pick up and drive is perfect too .

Skill (Skill) 2017-08-02 08:57:52 +0500 #8426

Can a resonator be the cause of hissing sound as it is installed just where the source of sound is ,in side right front fender .

Thanks @Xulfiqar Bhai I had similiar feelings about it,

I have two more issues will appreciate your response

Number one is about the same civic BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE was leaking slowly when i bought the car now it is leaking too much can't hold oil more than 15 mins. I cant find replacement valve what should i do can i use T or H joints instead to make my own distribution link will it affect braking.

And other problem is on fj80 i am working with 3f-e engine on, i replaced its faulty Ignition pickup sensors in dizzy can you guide me what gap should i set between the pickup sensor and tooth.

TIA
