Keep bleeding. And when you're done, bleed some more!

Thanks

Yes I did wonder if it may be that

Don't seem to be getting any more air out

But may be some still in there

Yes, opened idle air bleed a few turns

Engine now not stalling when hot

BUT

It hunts between about 1100 & 1800 revs when hot

Changed coolant recently but i think its fully bled out now

OK thanks Paul

Will try that

Engine starts from cold & runs well, accelerates strongly, etc

BUT

When it reaches full running temperature it stalls at tickover revs

Any ideas please ?

Get a pipe bender Alex

This or similar are cheap & useful to have in your toolkit

I had a similar problem

My old tester is one with a rubber cone

I now have a new tester which screws into the sparkplug hole

Much better

I even bought genuine Toyota coolant (shock horror)

I used the ring end of an 8mm open-ended & ring spanner to remove the two little setscrews that hold the cap Trunks

Not too difficult considering the relative lack of space around the dizzy on a Mk1

The BGB says " Use a good brand of ethylene-glycol base coolant mixed according to the manufacturer's directions" Yes The Comma X-stream coolant, which Halfords recommend for the Mk1 isn't called Ethylene Glycol It's called Glysantin (a BASF trade name) May be just another name for the sa...

Thanks for that Paul

Very helpful

Thanks Lauren

Toyota online recommended pink

Local dealer stocks only pink but can get red for me for 46.69 gross

Toyota advertise several different coloured coolants

Red, Pink, Green and Blue (possibly others)

Blue is for the GT86 it seems

Have no information about differences in the other coloured fluids

Or which is most suitable for the 4A-GE

Any ideas
