In case I am unable to find anyone with a pressure testing kit, what's the way around pls?

[miqdadkanani]

in my case too, after he showed some attitude, i spoke to him about my Father in Law who owns a 74 corolla and has been coming to his workshop since more than 40-45 years. I showed him my FiL's picture and then he calmed down a little.

I have done same in my margalla. I replaced rear ones with refurbished ones then after 3 months they were gone. Now i will replace all four with new agri auto shocks.

So @Xulfiqar is it recommended to use such products like @miqdadkanani shared?

Freeze plug..is it same welch plugs?

It is written on bottle that it will treat leaks in gasket.. radiator..freeze plugs.........

[miqdadkanani]

i think Xulfiqar referred to this product when he said "liquid death". Probably not recommended. And yes, freeze plugs are the same as welch plugs.

We probably need to find a workshop with pressure testing kit. It is costing 24k on daraz.

Make pressure testing kit yourself, Simplest way is to put a pipe to the port from where pipe is going to expansion tank. (Remove the pipe going to Expansion tank)

Attach pressure gauge, and start applying pressure using pressure washer. And done...

Yes, also make sure you use old Radiator cap (With bad spring seal)

[helper_learner]

You can do this to, similar to my idea,

[miqdadkanani]

I have the electric pump (used to fill air in tyres).

Also, If I understand correctly, a bad/old radiator cap is needed so that it remains tight and doesnt leak the pressure, right?

No, But to let water / air in from expansion tank port even when there is no vacuum in the radiator

While driving in 4th gear (80 ish kmph), I felt sudden jerks (or misfires). This happened after carb service and wasn't at all happening before that. Could it be some carb setting, throttle body issues or plugs issue?

[helper_learner]

Just a wild guess, May be something related to Secondary throttle Or May be Timing Advance using vacuum pod.

[miqdadkanani]

How to confirm?

[capsat]

I felt sudden jerks

check the ignition cable seating at slots from Coil to Distributor, & to spark plugs.

[miqdadkanani]

Is it okay to run the cat with AC on all the time? I read somewhere that AC should be switched on preferably when the drive is more than 10,15 mins

[miqdadkanani]

Went again to mehmood carb. Zahid looked at and said yes, that's because the high speed pipe (secondary butterfly pipe) wasn't connected. The guy there fixed it.

Will check the performance again and report here

[miqdadkanani]

Haven't got time to build the pressure testing system to check leakage yet. Will report IA once done

[helper_learner]

I was right about Secondary throttle

[miqdadkanani]

One more query. What's the normal voltage and power output of the cigarette lighter. I actually want to install the USB charger there but in these cars, the power output is so low is takes hours and hours to charge a phone. How can we possibly increase the power output?

[miqdadkanani]

Or is it because of poor quality charger?

[xenerking]

u need a high wattage car charger like 45 watts and above to enjoy super fast charging on the phone.

normally the performance of car chargers is better as compared to wall chargers.
