I have a 1986 st141 corona wagon, cannot get it to idle being an automatic it has become a real pain in the ass. So far i have replaced spark plugs, checked timing, replaced manifold gasket, carby gasket and checked for air leaks. Today i changed the carby from another identical car that ran perfectly. I got it to run sweet as for about 2mins then realised i had forgotten to put the return spring and bracket onto the accelerator cable(undid one side to fit bracket and hooked up a few vacume lines n back to square one)
If anyone could give me a couple of pictures of their carby with the air cleaner off so i could zoom in and see where the vacume lines are meant to be goin, theres a good 20-30odd i reckon also running behind the head and it has vacume advance electronic dizzy :S
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Stu
Try pinching vacuum hoses closed with vice grips one at a time until it idles properly. Then follow where the hose goes to. A hose might have perished so you have a vacuum leak or it could be a hole in a diaphram somewhere.
