Carlos, i had exactly the same problem with mine! my blue top engine dropped a big end major styly and i bought a red top from a scrap yard with all ancileries. i found that the connectors on my chassis didnt match up to the ones on the later loom. my car wud start, idle and then die. if u spray car...

Hello everyone, i was on my way out to see my girlfriend tonight, got about 4 miles down the road, the alternator belt squeeled like a pig, like it has done for a while now, and seconds later the battery and fan light come on. i have had so much trouble with the electrics and everything else, so i d...

Hi there, i need front shock absorbers and top mounts for my 85 na mr2. in the essex area. need to be in good working condition. or if anyone can tell me where i can get them from i would appreciate it greatly. i can get them from fensport for £94.50 each, but if anyone knows of any other places, ag...

i had a very strange problem. the starter goes round but doesnt turn on. prior to my problem i didnt have starting problems. electrically test every component to do with the ignition. i did that. then i came on here. and found out there is a rpm sensor inside the distrubutor. apparently its a common...

when i went to start my car this morning for work, had to leave it running for ten mins as the idle was bouncing again. ran fine for 12miles, then my ecu light comes on! check the engine, i seem to have more coolant. its passed the full level. empty some, light goes off. 4 miles from work, comes on ...

hi i have a 1985 mr2 with 88 engine, due to engine change last week. i have a bouncing idle. it only bounces when the engine is cold. it bounces between 1000-2000rpm. my expansion cap broke the other day, around the top and looks in poor condition. now, this may have been a coincidence, but the boun...

yeah welcome to toyota. just pray you dont have to buy anything like a throttle cable. i had to pay mr t £91 for one! i also wanted a bootlid and spoiler. they wanted £330 for the bootlid and £532 for the spoiler. all unsprayed of course. dont ever buy brake calipers from there either, they quoted m...

yeah, learn how to drive first before u get the back end out. dont put your foot down on wet roundabouts or corners. tyres do help. ive got bridgestone potenzas on mine. very good. but doesnt always help. yes, dont let it bounce off of the rev range. 3 weeks ago i forgot to change from 3rd to 4th, w...

Hi everyone, i am having a severe headache over my car. right, ive had an engine swap, from an 85 to an 88. so ive got an 88 engine and an 88 wiring loom. everything is connected except a big yellow plug, which is situated between the coil, map sensor and just above the alternator. another one is a ...

Hello everyone, i have recently had an engine change, i have a 1985 chassis but now with a 1988 engine with all the ancileries. i have a problem. some of the connectors on the wiring loom dont fit some of the plugs on the sensors bolted to the bodywork closest to the boot (rear). ive done the timing...

hello mate, i have an 85 mk1a i have a 10" sub behind the passenger seat. if you want ill take a pic and get some dimensions?? itll be at the weekend as my car is having an engine swap then. sounds briliant by the way, and the amp sits underneath the seat in the channel, as it doesnt slide abou...

no need to apologise, im sure that ill be adopting that method as well as the weekend. i am more bothered about getting the engine in and making sure it works properly before i do anything about the shaft anyway.

hi, does anyone know what the oil pressure gauge should be showing when you are accelerating hard? before my engine died, when i was doing around 110 in 4th, the pressure needle was round to three quarters...? is this right? my mate also has an mr2, and when i was in his car at the weekend, we were ...

i am currently swapping my engine with a 89' lump, as mine dropped a big end two weeks ago. putting another lump onto my gearbox. my mate helped me (third year techy at volvo) take the engine and box out. we discovered that one of the journels on the crankshaft had deformed so much it was egg shage,...

ill take a picture of it sometime this week. i need it off to make life easier so the hub bearing can be looked at, or hopefully pressed.

ill post some other pics of my car on here as well as others have

that makes perfect sense Welly, as i havent done that. but if it still doesnt come out?

HEY, SINCE THE LAST TIME I PUT A POST ON HERE, ALL THE FEEDBACK I GOT WAS EXCELLENT, SO I THOUGHT ID ADD ANOTHER ONE. WHEN EVERYTHING ON MY CAR IS SORTED, I SHALL THEN EXPLAIN WHATS HAPPENED TO IT, BUT NOW ILL CUT TO THE CHASE... I HAVE A 1985 MR2. "C" REG. FOR VARIOUS REASONS, I HAD TO TA...

Hello. The way the garage said on the phone sounded like it was going to cost alot. and you are right, they had no idea that the rpm sensor was inside the dizzy. thats why it took ages. thankfully you guys knew! they charged me £60 which i suppose is fair. i had my timing done, all my earths were cl...

Hello all. Good news. i rang the garage today, and the car works! the garage said it is running as it should. the bad news is that its gonna cost me alot. although they didnt know what was rong with the car they spent alot of time on it. but i will point out that the knowledge i got from imoc really...
