Hi everyone, first time poster with a keyboard in the other end here, and of course I have a problem.
I got my Celica ST20 1.8 one week ago, a good car and I like it a lot already. Unfortunately the motor don't run on all four cylinders when it's on idle and hot. When the motor is cold there is no problem at all, and same goes when I'm revving it, all four is on board and do their workload as they should. I have found out that it is cylinder number four that is the problem, and tho whole motor have been taken apart and reassembled, we cleaned to cylinders, and pistons (Also the pistonrings, they were stuck and I thought this was the problem) but this didn't help. I have now bought an used top to this engine, but do you have any tips for what this can be? Thanks all.

so the valve clearance was way too tight holding the valves open. this would cause you to have no compression.

I think this was due to a old woman having the car before me.. Driving on 3/4 gear in low speed. -------------------- ------------------------------| White '97 Celica | Bought 01/11/13 | Sold: Never |------------------------------ |

Because of that reason I have to redo the top end of my block, or go get a beams, just need to find one.. -------------------- "As a professor of science, I assure you we did, in fact, evolve from filthy monkey-men." -Prof. Farnsworth
