    3fe auto seems to be lacking power when in 4th

    So.... all jokes aside about the lack of power in a 3fe, mine has recently started to 'hunt' in between 3rd and 4th on the auto when on the highway between 100 and 110 km/hr. If I leave it in 3rd it will pull all the way up to 120 km/hr with ease (just revs a little bit ha ha). When it...

    3fe - thermo fans

    don't really have an issue with the existing fan, other than it has seen better days and has a few chips in it. The shroud is missing and where I live australia it will cost me almost double for the shroud because of freight. I am considering options and whether it will be easier and cheaper...

    3fe - thermo fans

    Has anyone ever changed out the factory engine driven fan for an electric fan and did they notice any difference. Just trying to work out if I should invest in a new shroud (mine is missing) or put the electrics in instead

    3FE idle speed

    Thanks . Will try that as well. Can't get over how much better and smoother it runs though. Wish I had changed it 6 months ago now ha ha

    3FE idle speed

    Throttle cable and everything else is free. I think I just need to go through and reset it all but not sure of best place to start. Will have to check the TPS though by the sounds of it. Do you know if disconnecting battery will reset everything?

    3FE idle speed

    So I finaly got around to replacing the temp probe that goes back to the ecu and it has made an awesome difference. Instead of running like a bag of crap until warm it runs awesome and even seems to have more grunt. Only thing is it now idles a bit high. It was set around 800rpm before I...

    central locking issue

    quiz for the electrical guru's. I just installed a cheapish remote locking kit as my 91 had the central locking but only from the key. I connected the outputs to pins 10 and 11 of the master relay for the central locking. With the drivers door open, it works perfectly every time. With the...

    3fe guru's please help - timing issues

    I never took the dizzy out. Not to say it hasnt been put in wrong in the past. Timing sets up ok to the 7deg mark as required. Just doesnt seem to run correct. At a bit of a loss

    3fe guru's please help - timing issues

    So having a little drama with the timing and would like some ideas. Issue is as follows - If I set up the timing as described in all the manuals and on this site (at 7' ) the car runs but has a bit of a knock/miss feel too it when pushed at all. If I bring it back closer to TDC it runs...

    3fe engine questions

    So I am assuming that the intake manifold and exhaust manifolds swap over but the main engine parts are interchangable ?

    3fe engine questions

    it overheated. there is water in the oil and it runs like s***. As to why not just replace it, the gasket kit is $150 of ebay and the local machinist wants about $400 to machine it up and test it all. it will probably take about a week by the time I start to strip it dow, then waiting for...

    3fe engine questions

    91 3FE with Auto ECU questions

    may have worked out the tacho issue. if I connect the coil -ve to the ig- that goes to the tacho it works. Look like it may be an issue internally with the ignitor

    centre diff lock in 91 3fe auto

    Ha ha very cool. I may need to pick his brain about the 3fe in the future if it plays up. Like i said in original thread though was just trying to clear up in my head what may be happening and all the info so far makes sense so big thanks to both of you guys. Only had car a few months and so...

    centre diff lock in 91 3fe auto

    I do realise that. I also believe that some kits come with manual locking hubs to disconnect drive shafts etc for less wear and tear.

    centre diff lock in 91 3fe auto

    Thanks for that. It does explain a bit. I had a 93 80 series with the turbo diesel and auto many years ago now, and it came without the switch on the dash. The workshop manual for that was what I was basing my assumptions on, but from what you have said it clears it up. I don't think whoever...

    centre diff lock in 91 3fe auto

    Just a bit of a curiosity question. I have a 91 80 series with the old trusty 3Fe with the auto. Is there any way to tell if you have the part time 4wd kit installed other than lifting the car or the ground and seeing what wheels turn. The reason why I ask is that I was under the...

    91 3FE with Auto ECU questions

    Hey need some help. The tacho on my 3FE Auto isnt working so I thought I would have a look at it. When I couldnt get an aftermarket tacho to work from the IG- connector on the diagnostic plug I thought I would have a look at if there was any possible fault codes up. I have noticed I don't get...
