Good day to all!

I decided to write my review about this wonderful car. Before her, I drove only TAZs, so half a year before the sale of the seven, I began to look for a car for myself, I knew one thing for sure that it would be right-handed, not because there was no money, but because I just like these cars. On the market once sitting behind the wheel of this car, I realized that it would be Marino. Having saved up some money, I started choosing a car, I went and looked, in the region of 140,000-160,000 rubles, but there was nothing normal, I started to get upset, but then I go to the car. ru and here it is, just added to the announcement, I immediately call, made an appointment, looked was a little crumpled water. door, according to the engine, the owner said that he was eating 1 liter of oil per 10,000. It seems that everything was fine. The final price was 120,000 rubles. (mileage at that time was 208,000 km). I take everything. The owner asked me to pick her up in 3 days, when they give him a Mazda 6 from the salon, I say ok, the guy seems to be so Nitsche. as a result, the day before picking her up, he calls me at 7 am ...... I immediately realized that something was wrong, I went up to Telephone: he says that he got into an accident on it………ML* I sat nah. Okay, I say, why flog the fever in the evening we will meet and look at her.

In the end, this is the layout. Repair of the hood + painting, replacement of the front bumper, front right headlight + turn signal, etc. wing, in short, I'll give it up for 108,000 rubles. And because I really liked the car, I say I take it. They brought him a Mazda, I drove up to him on a tram, he sat down at his new one, and for the first time in my life I sat down at the right hand and we went to the traffic police to remove it from the register ... Guys, I can’t tell you those feelings, how I got high , I just finished fucking when I was driving……. BLISS. Everything is easy, automatic transmission is voooobshche …. brakes, everything is so thought out, comfortable and good. But now she's mine, put on record. I bought a headlight, fender, bumper. I installed the wing, but I think I’ll install everything else later and did it right that I didn’t immediately slap everything. I’m driving home from work here, the green light is on, I start to cross the intersection and get into a traffic jam across my lane, respectively, while everything has resolved, my yellow-red lights up, but I’m in the middle of the intersection, 3 lanes let me through, I start to drive through and oh…… I get a pretty strong blow on that right side in front, right on that wing that I put before….. I think everything is PPC.

We go out to inspect our cars and what was my surprise when I saw who sanded me, there is a handsome man in my right side Toyota Ceres (who doesn’t know this is Marino’s twin) in short, the wing again nah, the bumper is even stronger, and the door, the one that by the way was crumpled (yes, during the sale, the owner gave me the door in color), the wheel folded, in short, I got up …. Gai, insurance + a bunch of hemorrhoids. As a result, I did not wait for insurance, because Pts. really wanted to ride. What had to be changed to be on the move. Per. the right strut and all + gathering collapse (strong cars) cost me 3000 rubles, Prada took the strut b. which he later regretted. Accordingly, another wing. The front end changed itself with a friend in the garage, nothing complicated, everything is easy and simple. And now I find my Marinka with a more or less normal hood, headlight fender and bumper. So far, the truth has not been painted, I'm going to do this one of these days. Drove on it about 16,000 km. during this time, I changed the oil and the thermostat, he drove only in a big circle, term. was + replacement 300 rubles.

Then I decided to clean the nozzles (I don’t know why the hell, I just wanted to) and I cleaned it, as a result, they destroyed the ceramics and the skiff came to the force, it became very good. start up badly. I solved this issue by replacing them, I bought 4 injectors with a ramp for 1,500 rubles at an analysis from acquaintances. Replaced and all is ok, like new. There were no other investments. Only now the rack that I hotly put up turned out to be killed, so the replacement of depreciation lanes is approaching.

In general, the car is very good, you can drive at 140-150 without straining, it keeps the road perfectly, the only noise of the wheel arches is not so hot, but this is forgivable. It’s comfortable in the cabin, I’m a small 170, so they can easily sit behind me. 1. 5 is good enough, you can’t compare with our car, automatic transmission is also good. gas suspension, tough enough, so I will put oil on the front as I wrote. Bad regular light, so I put xenon, much better. In general, the car did not let down, except for my stupidity with injectors and accidents. So it always starts and goes where it needs to go without problems in winter and now in warm weather, the condo is on and poper without any problems that you won’t get there. Advice to those who choose a car, it’s worth taking a good car, the service staff is cheap and unpretentious, eats little. Well, in principle, that's all.

Buyer advice:

Take it, the machine is worth it.

Recently, on the roads of the Russian Federation, more and more often you can find cars of Japanese manufacturers that hide 5A engines under their hoods. Such engines are able to deliver a lot of worries to their owners. In this regard, I would like to tell you in more detail what problems may arise during the operation of these units and how to eliminate these problems.

Diagnostics and its parameters

These options include:

• Oxygen sensor (lambda probe)

If it breaks down, error No. 21 “pops up” on the control unit. In addition, there is an increase in fuel consumption associated with the lack of heating correction. Replacing it with a new one, which is very expensive, helps to solve the problem. It is not recommended to install a used one, as it is a large resource of operating time, which in the end will soon lead to a repetition of the situation.

• temperature sensor

Its malfunction can lead to the inability to start the engine on a "hot" and increased fuel consumption.

• The throttle position sensor is called the TPS sensor.

If it breaks, error No. 41 is fixed on the control unit. The problems that this malfunction causes are more related to cars with automatic transmission, in which improper gear shifting occurs. In cars with a manual gearbox, the engine starts to "choke" at high speeds. Replacing the sensor should include its adjustment.

• MAP sensor

The most reliable, but it also fails. If it malfunctions, the level of CO in the exhaust gases increases, a “black exhaust” appears and candles are “planted”.

• Knock sensor

If there are problems with it, error No. 52 is recorded on the control unit. He manifests himself as a sluggish acceleration.

• nozzles

With prolonged use, the needles and nozzles become covered with soot and resins. As a result, a decrease in the performance of injectors, increased fuel consumption and noticeable engine shaking. The solution to the problem is the installation of new ones or the restoration of old ones (flushing and processing).

• Candles and ignition system

Such problems are the most common reason for the appeal not only of 5A engines, but also of all other devices. A red coating forms on the candles, as a result of which a spark does not form. The engine starts to work intermittently, fuel consumption increases. Replacement or repair will help solve this problem.

In addition to the above problems, 5A engines may have problems with the control unit, fuel filter, air filter, or any other malfunctions. Most importantly, remember that if something knocks, then you should not wait for it to fall apart, timely contacting the service will extend the life of the car as a whole and the engine in particular. And also all this will cost you much cheaper than, say, straightening and painting a car in Togliatti. So watch your car and it will watch your wallet.

The A family is part of the second wave (1980 - 2000) of the Japanese Toyota engine industry. Version 5A has a smaller piston diameter than the previous version 4A - 78.7 mm instead of 81 mm. Engine displacement decreased to 1.5 liters, power up to 105 liters. with., torque up to 143 Nm. Unlike the previous series, the 5A FE engine does not have GE sports versions, turbocharged modifications and generations with design changes.

Specifications 5A FE 1.5 l/105 l. With.

Initially, the Toyota A-series engine has a safety margin, high maintainability and a huge stock of spare parts. The engine diagram looks like this:

• R4 - in-line four, cylinders are machined inside a cast-iron body, lubrication / cooling channels are made during casting;
• the belt drives both the timing and attachments;
• motors are designed for cars C / D classes, families Caldina / Carina / Corona 170 - 210 and Corolla / Sprinter 90 - 110.

ICE was manufactured in Japan for the domestic market and in China for the whole of Southeast Asia. An important feature is the absence of piston/valve impact when the belt drive breaks. In other words, the 5A FE motor does not bend the valve.

In order to increase power, the design uses electronic EFI injection. The valves are located relative to each other at an angle of 22.3 degrees. The ignition system is initially distributor, then without a charge carrier, two-coil DIS-2.

The user manual contains a description of the parameters of the power drive, maintenance regulations and drawings of the main actions that allow you to do your own maintenance of the motor and its overhaul.

Design features

The official manual for the naturally aspirated 5A FE in-line engine contains a description of the design:

• cast-iron block, cylinders are bored in the body without sleeves, which dramatically increases maintainability and reduces the cost;
• twin-shaft cylinder head with gas distribution DOHC 16V;
• at first, the ignition system consisted of a common coil, a distributor, a bundle of high-voltage wires, later a second coil was added according to the DIS-2 scheme;
• there are no hydraulic compensators or VVTi clutches, so the requirements for oil quality are quite low;
• forcing is most often done by analogy with AvtoVAZ engines by boring cylinders;
• overhaul is easily carried out in garages on their own;
• a design feature is the belt drive of one camshaft, the second receives rotation by a gear wheel from it.

The design is very simple, reliable, maintainable, high resource.

List of engine modifications

There are only three engine options in the 5A series, one of which is the 5A-FE. The other two are its modifications, respectively:

• carburetor version 5A-F was produced in the period 1987 - 1990, the internal combustion engine had a capacity of 85 liters. With. and a compression ratio of 9.8 units;
• in version 5A-FHE, the intake manifold was modernized, camshafts with increased phases and cam lift were installed inside the cylinder head, the motor was produced in 1991-1999, had a power of 120 hp. with., was used exclusively in the domestic market.

Accordingly, the original attachments were used, which are not interchangeable with the basic version 5A-FE.

Advantages and disadvantages

The in-line atmospheric ICE device provides a number of advantages to the owner:

• savings in the operating budget - AI-92, the availability of spare parts, self-maintenance and repair on the knee;
• resource from 350,000 km, even on domestic gasoline;
• the possibility of forcing to increase torque.

Disadvantages are also present, but there are not so many of them in Toyota engines:

• adjustment of thermal valve clearances every 30,000 km;
• piston pin flaw - fixed, not floating fit;
• intensive wear of the camshaft beds inside the cylinder head;
• problems with the ignition system.

The main advantage is the absence of a collision between the valve and the piston in the event of a sudden break in the timing drive.

List of car models in which it was installed

The 5A FE engine was designed, not only for specific classes C and D, but also for families of Toyota cars:

• Carina - 1990 - 1992 in the back of AT170, 1992 - 1996 in the back of AT192 and 1996 - 2001 in the back of AT212;
• Corolla - 1989 - 1992 in the back of AE91, 1991 - 2001 in the back of AE100, 1995 - 2000 in the back of AE110, Ceres 1992 - 1998 in the back of AE100;
• Corona - 1989 - 1992 in the back of AT170;
• Soluna - 1996 - 2003 in the back of AL50 for Southeast Asia;
• Sprinter - 1989 - 1992 in the back of AE91, 1991 - 1995 in the back of AE100, 1995 - 2000 in the back of AE110, Marino 1992 - 1998 in the back of AE100;
• Vios - 2002 - 2006 in the back of AXP42 for China;
• Tercel - 1990 - 1994 sedan for Chile and coupe for Canada, USA.

The manufacturer appreciated both the characteristics of the engine and the successful design of the 5A FE, so even after Toyota stopped installing these engines, the Chinese company FEW continued to produce them for its own FAW Xiali Weizhi cars.

Service schedule 5A FE 1.5 l / 105 l. With.

During operation, the 5A FE engine requires periodic maintenance at specific times:

• you need to change the timing belt and the attachment after 50,000 km;
• the developers recommended adjusting the thermal clearances of the valves after 30,000 runs;
• cleaning for crankcase ventilation by the manufacturer is provided every 20 thousand km;
• the manufacturer recommends replacing the engine oil and oil filter after 7500 km;
• the fuel filter is enough for an average of 40,000 runs;
• according to the manufacturer's recommendation, a new air filter is installed every year;
• according to the date of release of antifreeze from the factory, it lasts for two years or 40,000 km;
• spark plugs for engines have a resource of 20,000 mileage;
• the exhaust manifold will burn out after 60,000 km.

After forcing, the resource of friction pairs is reduced by 20 - 30%, so consumables will have to be changed more often.

Overview of faults and how to fix them

With an increase in mileage, the 5A FE motor may reveal the following problems:

Knock	1) soot on the valves 2) piston pin wear 3) wear of camshafts and their beds	1) carbonization and adjustment of thermal valve clearances 2) replacement fingers 3) replacement of camshafts or cylinder head
Increase in lubricant consumption by more than 1 l / 1000 run	1) development of oil scraper rings 2) wear of valve stem seals	1) replacement rings 2) replacement caps
ICE stalls	1) breakdown of the distributor 2) fuel pump wear 3) clogged fuel filter	1) replacement of the distributor 2) replacement of the fuel pump 3) filter replacement
Revs float	1) crankcase ventilation valve clogged 2) failure of injectors 3) breakage of candles 4) idle valve wear 5) clogged throttle valve	1) cleaning the crankcase ventilation 2) replacement of nozzles 3) replacement of candles 4) CHX replacement 5) Throttle flush
Motor won't start	temperature sensor failure	sensor replacement

These faults are typical for the entire family A of Toyota engines.

Motor tuning options

Initially, the 5A FE engine is derated relative to previous versions, so inexpensive mechanical tuning is possible here:

• cylinder bore up to 81 mm;
• using pistons from 4A-FE.

In fact, the user receives the previous version of the engine with a combustion chamber volume of 1.6 liters. Further tuning is performed according to the classical scheme:

• grinding of intake manifold and cylinder head channels;
• "evil" camshafts, at least from 5A FHE or with large phases;
• "Spider" on the exhaust, "trick" instead of the second CO sensor;

The motor is domestic, so the best option is to swap to the sports version of the 4A GE. Turbo tuning will cost a little cheaper:

• a whale order for a low-power turbine;
• installation of high-performance, type 360cc nozzles;
• direct-flow with a cross section of 51 mm exhaust;
• use of a Walbro GSS342 fuel pump with a capacity of 255 l / h;

Upon receipt of 150 liters. With. the resource of friction pairs and the engine as a whole will noticeably decrease. To restore it, you will have to modify the head, ShPG and replace the crankshaft.

Thus, the 5A-FE engine was created for two families of Toyota cars - Corolla / Sprinter and Karina / Kaldina C and D classes. The power drive is very reliable, economical, designed for quiet driving in the urban cycle. The design is difficult to force, but it is absolutely maintainable.

In 1987, the Japanese auto giant Toyota launched a new series of engines for passenger cars, which was called "5A". The production of the series continued until 1999. The Toyota 5A engine was produced in three modifications: 5A-F, 5A-FE, 5A-FHE.

The new 5A-FE engine had a DOHC 4-valve valve per cylinder design, i.e. an engine equipped with two camshafts in the Double OverHead Camshaft block head, where each camshaft drives its own set of valves. With this arrangement, one camshaft drives two intake valves, the other two exhaust valves. The valve drive is carried out, as a rule, by pushers. The DOHC scheme in the Toyota 5A series engines has significantly increased their power.

The second generation of Toyota 5A series engines

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

An improved version of the 5A-F engine was the second generation 5A-FE engine. Toyota designers have thoroughly worked on improving the fuel injection system, as a result, the updated version of the 5A-FE was equipped with an electronic fuel injection system EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection.

If we talk about the quality of the design, it is difficult to find a more successful motor. At the same time, the engine is very maintainable and does not cause difficulties for car owners with the purchase of spare parts. A Japanese-Chinese joint venture between Toyota and Tianjin FAW Xiali in China still produces this engine for its Vela and Weizhi small cars.

Japanese motors in Russian conditions

5A-FE under the hood of Toyota Sprinter

In Russia, owners of Toyota cars of various models with 5A-FE modification engines give a generally positive assessment of the performance of 5A-FE. According to them, the 5A-FE resource is up to 300 thousand km. run. With further operation, problems with oil consumption begin. should be replaced at a run of 200 thousand km, after which the replacement should be carried out every 100 thousand km.

Many Toyota owners with 5A-FE engines are faced with a problem that manifests itself in the form of noticeable dips at medium engine speeds. This phenomenon, according to experts, is caused either by poor-quality Russian fuel, or problems in the power supply and ignition system.

Subtleties of repair and purchase of a contract motor

Also, during the operation of 5A-FE motors, minor shortcomings are revealed:

• the engine is prone to high wear of the camshaft beds;
• fixed piston pins;
• difficulties sometimes arise with adjusting the clearances in the intake valves.

However, the overhaul of the 5A-FE is quite rare.

If you need to replace the entire motor, on the Russian market today you can easily find a 5A-FE contract engine in very good condition and at an affordable price. It is worth explaining that it is customary to call engines that have not been operated in Russia contracted. Speaking of Japanese contract engines, it should be noted that most of them have low mileage and all manufacturer's maintenance requirements are met. Japan has long been considered the world leader in the speed of renewal of the car lineup. Thus, a lot of cars get to auto-dismantling there, the engines of which have a fair amount of service life.
