ae92 crappy design flaw

[boroEF]

today i have just experienced extreme starter heat soak...

i didnt even drive the car hard but it was parked under the sun for around 2hr in the middle of the day(12-2) and the damn thing wouldnt start.

the voltage metre would go down when i try to crank it...i popped the hood, checked fuses, unpluged and repluged the ignitor....sat around and waited and crank crank(mind u, very weak), it started!

ah yes and the reason why i say it's a crappy design.......the starter is right under the exhaust manifold! HOW STUPID IS THAT????? and the idiot who owned my car before andrew luu removed the heat shield...nice goings....moron

yes....and i take a dump and leak before every drive....and only fill up $5.

i also dont wear any underwear or socks when i drive...

now that's some hardcore weight reduction...not some stupid heat shield!

I havent had that heat shield for a long time and I live in the tropics, still no such problem on my car. Maybe you have something else wrong with your car. Could be a dying battery or something else.

correction, its more like 16V 4AGE design flaw

its same on ae86.....


anyway i think you should get some exhaust wrap, else eventually your starter will look like its fried KFC style (i got example if you wanna see )

last hatch i had never had this problem

cold or hot, one attempt at starting and it fires RIGHT up.

sure there, a dying battery wouldnt give the results that i've posted above

it's nice and all that u live in the tropics and it never happened to you....but u dont have a 4age :p 4afe starter location probably is under the intake manifold....everything on the 4afe is everywhere else

indeed true. it's my starter motor that's fried.
i let my gf drive my car today....she stalled it and the damned starter wouldnt start back again....
