xoomer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Dead passenger bank on my Ea81 Whats could cause that... Timing gears? what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxsta Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 could be intake gaskets ,head gasket , i doubt it would be timing gears as this would affect both side,s...check for spark/ fuel then compression..cheers good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATCHY Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 does ea81 even have timing belts or anything i thought it was timing mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The gears are not your problem - does that passenger bank light up at higher RPM? Could be a vacuum leak on the passenger side of the intake manifold. Spray around with carb cleaner to find vac leaks, do a compression test to verify compression, and check for spark and plug condition.

torxxx Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 EA81 is a push rod engine so there are no timing belts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudboat Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Leaky or failed valve seal (picks back up at higher RPMs), bent pushrod, valve adjustment, head gasket, rings,.. a number of things.. I have a dead bank with my EA81 at idle, but it kicks in above 1500 rpms. A local mechanic seems to think I need a valve job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
