get your compression checked...

My step father just had a problem on his EH with RB30ET in it,

First real drive and it blew the head gasket, once we opened it up it had obviously happened before he got the motor,

All the bore had rust marks on it and starting to pit...

the mechanic was telling him it would be alright because it was only 2 cylinders down and only 15psi...

Also check ur oil, if it's milky ur getting coolant into ur oil...

Cracked radiator?

are you absolutley sure "all" the hoses are new not just the top and bottom radiator hose...there are half a dozen hoses under the plenum / along the firewall which carry coolant, plus the heater box

I would still have a look at all the heater hoses, I had a similar issue once and it turned out to be the water feed hose for the turbo and it didnt leak unless the car was hot,

So after everything has warmed up, have a look under the car and around the engine bay, also turn the heater on and off etc, if all else fails than try as axe s has said and get a comp test done

you can have a blown gasket and not have water in the oil or vice versa. when i had a falcon i blew about 3 head gaskets and each time it was only letting water into the cylinder. never ended up with milky oil.

as for the smoking when cold, if you haven't driven the car all day and start it up in the afternoon will it blow white smoke? if it does then it is the headgasket. this can also make it hard to start sometimes.

also, i would fill up the coolant (making sure to blled it properly) then get the car hot on the spot with some cardboard under the car and look for any signs of water dripping to elimiate the chance of it having a leak somewhere.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
