No wrecks (I had a cosmetic bumper tap but the engines so far back it didn’t impact). No mods or aftermarket anywhere. I did jump my GL once or twice with it. Maybe I didn’t let it run after for a while and this bogged the battery down?

SOLVED: Installed a new accelerator cable and the stock fuel/fuel return (which I had sealed) from the hitachi to the Weber. Adjusted the carb to 800 rpms and now she runs and sounds amazing. My exhaust previously had the cat taken off and Y pipe installed. thank you!!

Solved: new accelerator cable and hitachi carb fuel & fuel return installed. Idles at 800 and I drove it for over an hour. Thank you!

Oh...my bad. Rereading the Chilton and Haynes for all 80s emissions, it said they're we're all the same. I'm learning haha.

Hello all, 2019 Toyota GT86 TRD Edition I know this sounds dumb, "just replace the battery", but my battery tests fine at NAPA every time as well as the alternator. It'll start up fine in the morning, drive fine, I go to the store, get back in and it either has a super hard and slow start or it is dead. I've even driven it four a few hours and then parked, same result. If the charging system is fine then possibly something is pulling excessive amperage? Jump the battery, perfect 14 volts w/perfect start. Has anyone had this issue? I find it hard to believe the factory alarm system would drain it while locked/parked. Also, they're absolutely no aftermarket parts on my 86. The battery is Toyota factory, about two years old.

Not sure, picked up from a hardware store. I removed the vacuums yesterday and capped lines at the intake manifold. It ran at 3k now instead of above 5k. I'm putting a new accelerator cable on (in case mine is somehow leaving the throttle open). Otherwise, I don't know. The adapter to mani is solid and the gasket is covered 360 degrees by weld. I'll try to get a good picture and post soon. I'll update once the new cable is on. I know I'm being annoying, but, ironically this is the first car I chose to work on. Good learning curve.

I have an 85 gl EA81 (vacuums should be same). I can take a picture of the diagram that’s on my hood. but...I installed a Weber after my bowl vent vacuum system went dead. (And it sounds amazing)

I forgot to update, but, this has been solved. A factory wire (black that covers a white smaller gauge) going into a male/female plug. The female side’s white wire (going back into the black) was toast. thanks everyone, got the dash and interior back in.

I placed a piece of steel wool down it and then used high temp jb weld to plug. Waited over night and then sanded it down to match. My kit came with the smaller air cleaner so it clears the hood. And, it’s the solid plate ea81 adapter.

Sorry...I’m a newbie. The carb and kit was purchased new; out of the box installed.

Sorry, it’s the two PCV 5/8” circulation inlets, on the blue covers, left and right. Is the pcv essential for a Weber? Some write ups include it and others don’t.

The main jet was in all the way so I will back it out two turns. The adapter to intake manifold has jb weld all around it (paranoid of air leaks). The previous owner had put an autobest fuel pump on. I’m trying to get the model number but could too much fuel pressure cause it to high idle? I have a return spring on linkage, looked down the primary with a light and it “looks” closed. Adjusted the choke so the butterflies are closed (maybe I shouldn’t). I did plug the two holes going into the sides of the engine....not sure if that was correct. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a 1985 GL hatchback, EA81, automatic 1.8l with emissions. I just put a Weber 32/36 carb on it (with the EA81 one piece adapter. I’ve plugged every vacuum inlet I can find (except PVC/EGR) and now when I start it it revs to 5k or higher. One day I adjusted the choke to be fully open (butterflies open) and it stayed around 2500. Adjusting the idle speed screw didn’t help. I have checked and adjusted the accelerator cable and I don’t see any linkage issues. please please help.

Okay. So I’ve learned a lot about cars and this Subaru over the last few months lol. I found the short to Ground and fixed it. The car runs. Stupid issue: I can’t for the life of me get the instrument cluster back in to where the visor can get in place. It also doesn’t sit right. Any help would be so appreciated!
