Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 4A-F engine according to the catalog is 127 kg. The engine number 4A-F is located to the right of the exhaust manifold. The main problems of this engine are related to the whims of the Japanese Aisin carburetor. The second most common issue is failures in the ignition system components. The reason for the fluctuating RPMs is usually a dirty throttle or temperature sensor. With high mileage, piston pins often knock and oil consumption appears. There are no hydraulic compensators here, don't forget to adjust the valves every 100,000 km.
