The A Series Toyota engines are a family of straight-4 internal combustion engines with displacement from 1.3 L to 1.8 L produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. The series began in the late 1970s with the 1A, an SOHC engine with a displacement of 1.5 L. The 7A-FE was the last A engine in the family, a 1.8 L DOHC engine that produced 115 hp. Production of the 7A-FE stopped in 1998, thus ending that engine series.
The 4A-GE was one of the earliest inline-4 engines to have both DOHC 16 valves and electronic fuel injection (EFI). Toyota designed this engine with performance in mind; its twin camshafts are 50 degrees apart to allow decent power, but this sacrifices torque. This engine is very popular with racers and tuners because of its ease of modification, simple design, and lightness.
The engine was first introduced in the 1983 Trueno Sprinter AE86 and the Corolla Levin AE86 sports version. In 1988, the engine was placed in front wheel drive (FWD or FF) format as opposed to rear wheel drive (RWD or FR). The engine was retired from North American Corollas in 1991, although it continued to be available in the Geo Prizm GSi (sold through Chevrolet dealerships) from 1990-1992.
