Hi guys. IM not sure whats wrong. If its the timing.. the compression... i dont know but my car wont get passed 90 mph. Its a 93 toyota corolla with a 1.8l. Any one please help me.

IM not sure but its only 3 gears. is it supposed to be 4?
my car just runs out of gears or somehting it feels like its about to change but it dosent and than 90 is the max.

Only the 1.6L 4AFE's come with the 3spd, if you got the 1.8L 7AFE then you have the 4spd.

Sounds like you're hitting the speed limiter, although I thought they were limited to 110mph or so.

well i dont have overdrive, and i dont think im hitting any kind of limiter. it just runs out of gears.. it keeps pushing but nothing.

timing or compression wouldnt make the car just stop at 90mph.

The speed limiter is my guess as well...

battousaix27 · 08-07-2007, 07:43 PM

But that dosent make any sence. It used to go passedd 110. It used to go passed it on the dash. and corolla has a rpm limiter not a speed limiter. any more guesses?

***REN69*** · 08-07-2007, 08:24 PM

Maybe you broke something by hitting max speed too much.

punter · 08-07-2007, 08:46 PM

So is it at the rpm limiter or not?

94_Rolla_Guy · 08-08-2007, 02:44 AM

i have hit the speed limiter at 173km/h (108mph) theres also the rev limiter which is about 6400rpm on a 1993-1995.5

Do they have an OD button on the shifter? I'll have to check my dad's car, he's got a 94 AE101 with the 7AFE 4spd, I never noticed if he had an OD button or not, if it doesn't then maybe 4th gear has been disabled somehow.

battousaix27 · 08-08-2007, 12:28 PM

well the fluid is ok. I hecked and changed it. I do NOT have overdrive. I do not hit the rpm limiter. i know what it sounds and feels like. that not it. I dont think its the speed limit because its only 90 miles per hour. do you guys have any other ideas? timing? do i really really need a gun for it for can i do it another way. ... i just dont really know why it does this and i hate it!

thanks everyone for helping me out but please keep the ideas coming! thanks!
