Hey guys, hoped you could fil in the blanks for me... 91 NA 2+2 Auto

 

1) What is the most common thing that causes a ZX to behave differently when cold then normal when up to running temp?

 

2) ANy of you guys used Toyo T1-S tyres? I have had a set on for 3 weeks now, what sort of lifespan do they have?

 

3) Anyone here got a Veilside steering wheel? any good?

 

4) ANyone on the list play guitar? (I teach guitar, just curious)

Thanks

1) The choke plays havoc. On my Z the choke makes the revs about 1000-1500 but turns off when I press the accelerator.

 

2) No

 

3) No

 

4) Trying to tech myself, but I have hit my peak, need leasons for a boost I think.

Sean,

 

1) Temp sensor - looking at the front of the engine, top water pipe, sensor on the left.. Clean the connector, clean the sensor, or renew..

(Failing that there is also the idle regulator valve, TPS sensor connector, fuel temp sensor..)

 

2) Nope

 

3) Nope

 

4) Yeah, haven't picked it up for ages tho.. Last time I picked it up I'd forgotten most of what I'd ever learnt Whereabouts are you?

 

Hehe just read your profile.. NZ... Probably not much point me asking about lessons then Bit of a long way to go!

hey, mine does that 'stalling thing' too. bloody auto gearbox its got a [stupid] mind of its own.

 

it sits there chuggin away, and then you just feather the pedal, and.....pop off she goes, dead. especially in reverse.

 

cheers aaron, ill give that sensor stuff a go.

Ben your throttle bodies are in need of clean when we took one pipe off on Sunday but did not have time to do it,should sort out the cut out etc,if you want them doing once your legal come on down again. Jeff TT

 

Ps A general service plugs oil and filters may well be a good start as well

When it comes to the auto box, it's normal for it to be

reluctant to shift up, until the oil is warmed up.

iv got toyos on they have only done 6000 so far miles but they seam ok to me and i think they give good grip with them having a softer compound to most tyres
