- ข้อแตกต่างระหว่างเครื่อง 4A-LC กับเครื่อง 4A-L
L in 4A-LC stands for lean-burning and C stands for emission control.
There are very minor differences between the two engines. 4A-LC is a little more fuel-efficient (a good thing for these gas-miser cars of mid 1980s) than 4A-C and it's far more common (~ 99%), as it's the engine found in the FWD sedans and five-door liftbacks. 4A-C is only found in some RWD coupes (the low-end models without the powerful 4A-GEC engine). Here are the specs on the carburetors for the two engines:
Engine type: 4A-LC
Carburetor no.: 16120 (1984 Federal and California emissions, 1985 California-only emissions), 16030 (1985 Federal emissions [more complicated emissions, more emission-control systems provided than California-only emissions]), 16210 (1986 - 1987 Federal and California emissions)
Primary main jet (mm): 1.03
Secondary main jet: 1.62
Power jet: 0.40
