Mechanical issues: Dropped fuel tank, new carburettor, Vacuum leaks?
Hey all,
Not sure if this is the place to post but I have a 1997 Hiace with a 2RZ engine.
I was sitting for 4 years and I bought it knowing it would have a few issues. I have worked on it while learning mechanical skills, and also taken it to the mechanics.
I have got a whole carburettor rebuilt, timing adjusted, and carburettor tuned and it was running great for two weeks and then stopped working. The mechanic advised me to drop the tank because there was water and debris in the system, but when I dropped the tank, there was no rust or water in the fuel tank. I dropped the tank and drove it home fine, then the next day it wouldn't run, it started but struggled to stay idling for long.
I then noticed fuel leaking out behind the front left tyre. The charcoal filter had a massive hole in it wwhich has a vacuum line going to the engine. I fixed that today, and there was another leak in a component down near that area which I will get a replacement part for tomorrow.
I'm thinking a vacuum leak is my problem but I'm still fairly new to this, any recommendations would be great.
