My car is a 89 toyota corolla the engine is a 2E my problem is at hi speed the exhaust turns red which you dan lite up acigarette .what do you think could cause this type of a problem

no year car, 2E ,(engine) nor country told.
no is africa, a stripper car. SAID WIKI , NONE SOLD IN USA
SO NO PARTS HERE OR BOOKS ON IT ZERO.
Toyota Corolla (E90)
stalls fast, like a light switch engine RPM to zero
or falls slowly, as in fuel lost ,but wait....
but you said spark is dead and I believe you.
new coil, new distributor, or just cap and rotor. AND HV SPARK LEADS, NEVER TEST JUST ONE LEAD TEST THEM ALL.
SEE? THEN LEARN WHAT IS REALLY WRONG.
'COIL DEAD?
then ICM>SO IS CARB fueled engine RIGHT?

real name of engine, A Corolla name change. car. AFRICA?

The 2E is a 1.3 L (1,295 cc) SOHC version with three valves per cylinder. Output ranges from 65 to 88 hp (48 to 66 kW; 66 to 89 PS) at 6,000 rpm with 72 lb?ft (98 N?m) of torque at 3600 rpm to 77 lb?ft (104 N?m) of torque at 5200 rpm. It appeared in 1985, and was discontinued after 1998. The 2E engines appeared in both carbureted and fuel-injected (called 2E-E) versions. The 2E-TE, appearing in 1986, is a turbocharged engine producing 101 hp (75 kW; 102 PS). A later version, the 2E-TELU produces 110 hp (82 kW; 112 PS).

The choke is sealed and no adjustment is given.
Valve settings
INTAKE .007" cold
EXHAUST .011" cold

earlier 2Es have one inlet one exhaust
after the east west front wheel drive were introduced
most 2E toyota engines have three valves per cyl
two inlets and one exhaust

if you need the correct information on your 2004 2e engine
,,,,undo the rocker cover

Hi. The exhaust gas recirculation valve is located by the transmission fluid dipstick. This is yellow and is labelled as 'TRANS FLUID'

IT IN THE GAS TANK

Head gasket leak, white smoke is antifreeze leaking into combustion chamber, do not run it will ruin engine! replace head gasket and check heads for warp

white smoke means blown head gasket, do not run or will ruin engine

When looking for a "faster" transmission you need to check the actual individual gear ratios of each gearbox and match anticipated rpm to available peak torque of the engine. This gets a bit complicated but likely if you speak with anyone who drag races a similar vehicle they can hook you up with charts & formulas. As far as top speed goes, that's all determined by your engine and differential/tire combination as all units are 1:1 in fourth gear (fifth gear is overdrive and may give you slightly more top end) For a street car, there are far easier ways of wringing out a bit more performance.

Hi,

To my knowledge, it should not loosen up by itself. If it does, then it is possible that they are worn out and must be replaced. Alternately, on some engines I have worked with, there is a locking nut that is used to tighten in place the adjuster stud or in some cases a double nut, that is one nut to lock in place and another to lock the first. On high revving bike engines, I also use locktite (superglue). Of course the pieces must be initially clean of oil otherwise the glue will not adhere.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

what valves are you refering to? there is many valves in a car other than the engine valves
