Corolla carb question...

thespecialistkc · #1 02-21-2007, 09:27 AM

OK, after some poking around, looks like my EGR is shot. Additionally, my carb is on it's last legs. Sooooo, figure it's time to do the swap. However, I still have to pass a sniffer emissions test for the next 2 years. Is this possible with the Corolla carb properly tuned and eliminating the EGR system? I sure hope so, as I can't see dumping almost $600 just to make this thing pass the test.
I poked around and did a search, but couldn't find a definitive answer.....
TIA....

the egr itself is likly ok, but the passege is clogged . (through the head or up in the intake area. ) I was able to get a pony carb to pass with a rebuilt engine and new cat-con. (and a bottle of pass emmisions. )

I did the Corrolla swap and was happy with it execpt for major inclines, swapped a weber in and same problems, actually liked the Corolla carb better as I remember, this was about 6 yrs ago.. That said I never had the sniffer test where I live. Its coming though.
Good luck

OK, so finally was able to find a carb. for a reasonable price in FLA. Had it shipped, started the rebuild, noticed the idle mixture screw/needle valve is missing. Great. Called the company I bought it from, was told it's "as is", which I figured anyways. Scoured the boneyards near me, the closest I could find is out of an '80 2.2 It fits, but just doesn't feel right, if that makes any sense.
Soooo, does anyone know of a supplier for older Aisin parts? Toyota discontinued these a while back. Or, does anyone out there have a toy parts carb they would be willing to sell the screw/valve out of.
Many thanks....
