Noob here.

My car is weak to the point where i cant seem to accelerate uphill, and is making an almost unbearable sound that i think is coming from 'somewhere at the passenger side between the exhaust and the engine.

I dont know whats wrong, and havent had it checked yet (apart from by my uncle) coz im waiting till uni holidays to check it when i have time. My uncle said it might be the exhaust if the car has extractors (this i dont know). Something about the emission not being able to get out and getting sucked back into the engine. I have no idea myself. But does anyone know about this who can provide some help?

Thanks.

my power loss felt similar to what you describe. took off cat and it was in perfect condition (make sure you take it for a fang to hear the exhaust coming straight off the manifold).

then i cleaned the pod filter and had 90% of my power back. try that.

ok turns out. when my uncle put the plugs back in, 1 of them got cracked so theres the culprit to the misfire. currently have NGK BCPR6ES plugs gapped to 1.1 and working. yeah i decided to clean out the air filter with (dont laugh) a tooth brush :cheers:

id say from my noobie analytical brain, i gained about 70% of the power back. exhaust is still loud as a mofo, seems loose and havent been able to get it checked yet so yeah. till then.

yep. looking for a replacement right now.

i wanted to do that but I didnt use an air compressor coz i didnt have one and couldnt get one at the time. i decided i'd clean it when i got up on sunday (at 12:30pm :headspin: ) so no chance at goin to autobarn to get the air compressor.

Anyway. can you recommend an air filter. im after one soon. id prefer to have one i wouldnt have to maintain but anything will do really, coz it seems like anything would give me better performance

Ta!

OK extractors were checked ( i thought they wree called front pipes BLEH) had a 5c sized hole in it. That was the cause of the extremely loud noise, and power loss and me having to ease up on the gas in order to change gears. didnt end up getting them replaced even though i know i should (theyre rusted really bad).

What my uncle decided to do was weld some steel around the thing and seal it up. Works a whole lot better. From all the F-words and cursing i heard from my uncle it was a tedious process (probably because we only had 1 jack). Over heated-Broken bolts replaced etc etc.

Air Filter was cleaned wid a air compressor gun, and some degeaser.

100% power is back. and i am a happy man again.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • 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
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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.  
    • 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?
