Hi Mga sir, Nakabili ako 97 corolla GLI eh since first car ko ito wala pa talaga ako alam.. hehehe

Bale tanong ko:
1. ang engine ba na 4a-fe is carb or EFi na? sabi kse sa net EFI na pero meron din carb papano ko malalaman yun?

2. Lapit lang kse ako banawe, san kaya pwede mag patingin dito regarding sa power locks kse yung isang door nagloloko, tapos yung keyless entry nde rin ata nagwowork. Alam ko madami po dito kso iba kse kwento sa banawe db? Bka may alam po kayo na reliable dito sa area at nde ako tatagain.

3. What should I outright replace?

4. Ano ba maganda pa karga na gas? sabi nila XCS daw?

Thanks in advance mga sir.

since your car is already a GLi, then it's definitely an EFI. the corolla engine with carburetor is only available on the XL & XE variants.

it depends on what gasoline brand gives you more mileage. all premium gasoline brands are ok.

you can also bring your car to the toyota dealership but it's not for free. they will charge you a diagnosis fee --- based on experience.

Sa Makati Toyota Medical Center.

Okey, e-demote mo si GENERAL at gawin nalang MAJOR. Kaya MAJOR check up inspection ang tawag. Ngayon pa MAJOR tune up mo narin kung nasa iyo na ang kotse.
Example of MAJOR tune:
Major= replace plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, clean or replace PCV valve, clean throttle body or carburetor, flush fuel injectors if applicable, check and set timing(change timing belt if applicable), replace alternator belt, power steering belt, Possibly flush transmission, plush radiator coolant etc..
With all this, surely even with your deep pocket and wallet will drain. You dont have to do it in one time, you can replace theme one at a time. Good day....

hello guys!newbie here and this will be my first post.
ive been reading forums here for almost a month now.
im new to car and i just bought my very first car last month a '94 gli.
binili ko siya ng 140K although its too late too ask, is it reasonable for that price?
ok naman codition ng car, except body paint medyo di naalagaan yung kulay or maybe sa edad narin ng car. no modification except for for lowering spring sa harap, leather seat, rain gutters and 15' rota mags ata yun.dont know the specific name.
tsaka tanong ko narin if lahat ba ng big body na gli eh 1.6L na.
kasi nagtataka lang ako sa 1 month ko pagbabasa dito sa forum eh wala pa ata ako nabasa na 1.5 gli,nakalagay kasi sa or/cr niya 1.5L lang.
wala kasi siya emblem.is it normal?
tanong ko narin kung san makakabili emblem ng gli and how much..
1 last thing, ok ba sa fuel injected yung khaos turbo charger or pang carb type lang?
sabi kasi mas matipid sa gas at lalakas pa hatak ng car.is it true?
salamat mga bossing. i hope you can help me with this
and sorry if may mali or naviolate ako rules dito sa forum.
thanks again.
