Had the same problem when I first got my MR2, ECU coolant temp sensor fixed it

maybe clean up all ic pipes and intake pipe...

not werth scrapping until you ACTUALLY know whats wrong.

Not going to scrap it as such, will either trade it in or sell it to someone who wants it despite of its weird problem.

Any news yet? Got compression test results? My mate said compression was fine across all cylinders and he had had it running, and cant find where the oil has come out of. He took it out for a spin, gave it some boost, still no oil and performing fine... Stupid car wants to make up its mind. Either ...

Tell me about it. But either way ill sell it with a "potential problem" just not sure what!

Will be gutted to see it go, but im just not enjoying the ownership anymore.

Need a change I think.

Marf wrote:Have they found where the oil is actually coming from?

Nope, its not leaked since

Did it happen on boost or just cruising?

Weird, compression check came ok and he cant find anything wrong with it regarding the oil getting sprayed out...

Im tempted to just trade it against another car to be honest and let the dealer put it through auction.

Not gonna spend huge amounts sorting it. At worst ill just break it.

Have you had the report back from the garage yet?? What did they say? If its just the rings that need replacing it will cost you about £100 for a new set of rings plus labour charges. If its a full engine rebuild you want (just engine block and cylinder head) your looking at about a grand but price...

see ive never experienced a misfire so im not sure. but a mate has mentioned that as a way of describing it. it may not be going from max to no boost, it could be that for example only 1 cylinder is exploding. either way it physically shakes your body and the car quite violently maybe 4 times a sec...

Mmm, theres some tasty bits on this car. If my engine has blown I might be tempted to get this and break my car for bits...

My car might have blown its piston rings, so I thought I would explore my options if this is the case : http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130570 Can anyone give me some help with what I the costs are to rebuild, either in the stock spec or other options for uprated bits? Could this be a c...

And not 2nd hand or blue print?

Cheers.

I assume toyota, was about £60 I think.

similar to what happened to my NA on 2 engines... a load of smoke, oil everwhere... I had toased the pistons, cracked the ringlands and melted the tops #-o loads of oil pouring out of the breather pipe from the pressure Did yours continue to run ok?

Maybe you should take it to a garage and get it checked out before jumping to any conclusions :) Its at a garage now, not heard anything yet. Ah yes, sorry hadn't seen that bit. Fingers crossed. Yeah its gutting, was just about to buy new coilovers and other bits to get it ready to track some more ...

What about getting Ryan to come to you?

Sounds like your crankcase got pressurised. Hope not though because that doesn't bode well... What could have caused that? Piston rings. When they go they allow air to leak past the combustion chamber into the crank case and on turbo engines the ~1BAR of pressure you have from your turbo forces all...
