Its a lovely 1985 Toyota Carina 2, 1.6 Petrol Engine. 150k km carbureted engine.
It started jerking a couple of months ago, I changed the timing belt, then changed spark plugs, cables, petrol filter, distributor head and rotor etc But the problem persisted. I then cleaned up the carburetor (it was a nightmare), but the problem did not go away. I bought a used carburetor and changed it... no effect! ....! Changed ignition module.. useless! Now observed a new problem, that 4th gear pops out under heavy acceleration when engine is warm enough. Another thing! Car jerks only when its warm enough i.e. Gauge needle in the middle!
Now I am a little confused, if its the transmission problem that causes the car to stumble, in my personal opinion it should increase at higher rpms, but the car runs smooth at high rpms and even smoother at idle or when cold.
I really need some help here...
thanks
