Thank you for replies. Car has burst into life first turn after a dry day ! but doesnt mean its fixed. Obvious its a damp electrics prob. When you say Ignitor do you mean the aluminium casting with a rectangular plug ? or the Coil which is the black / grey potted resin thing with HT lead socket ? If...

1991 rev 1 3sfe N/A Car had been poor to start in the damp. ( poss coil tracking ) but wd40 on it and away it went. However after every Frost it had taken longer to fire up. It misfires ( damp ) under load when driving but usually clears as it "dries "? So something must be soaking in the ...

Hi, Are the REV1 3SFE and 3SGE plug leads interchangeable.

ie will the 3SGE fit the 3SFE

I know there are diameter differences at times but is there no other incompatibility ?

Many Thanks

With an MR2 you need to factor in Garage bills, Tool Box Purchase, Frustration, cost of parts worth more than the car, Frustration, Rain water pouring into the engine which is a daily occurrence in Scotland, Frustration, the fact they have a tendency to go in a huff if left alone for a few days, Bra...

Thanks for help everyone. Garage only fitted the brand new Alterntor which I purchased elsewhere. But contacted supplier and if they find a "genuine " fault they will replace. Will this diagnosis ( unplug alternator and parasitic drain of 226 mAmps goes away ) be deemed as a genuine diode ...

Unplugged the round plug and amp leakage dropped to almost zero. The same applies to on plugging Alt Sencing Fuse. Does this mean the Diodes are shot ? Its a brand new Alternator and battery drained 2 days after it came back from garage ? Is there a way of confirming this ? Can new diodes be fitted ...

Hi, I recently had my alternator pack up . Garage Replaced it with brand new one. It now charges fine, however when left for a couple of days Battery is dead. Had battery checked at Halfords to see if it had blown and it came back in perfect health including cranking amps etc When i put ammeter from...

Hi Thank you I will try that NON AC switch and at Least I know I have a "Known " :-) No AC controls or buttons in car. But does have twin fans ! I checked and the connecter for the AC sensor and it has has a a wire looping / bridging it. ( just near the bulkhead in frunk.) at least hope th...

i cut some clear plastic / acrylic from an olde photo frame .. or any piece of plastic signage. and tie wrapped over vents. Just an aside, . If you block off vents full time what damage will it do ? Air flow? The Toyota designers must have been on drugs when they thought that a car for the UK market...

Hi thank you for the replies. Yes it has always had Rad Fans running ( both of them ) i put another radiator on a while back, it had another sensor in rad for fans...but still they were running ( could be same AC sensor) My Old Alternators used to screech when starting car then stop after engine rev...

Could the fan switch in the rad have failed? Maybe the fan relay is stuck? In the frunk, there is a plug with a 'bung' in the end of it. This is a connector used to bridge the wires on the non-A/C cars. This could have come off. On the passenger side low down near the fuse box. It's a long shot but...

Hi, Many threads on this but no search found an answer. I have an 1991 3SFE mk2. Twin Radiator Fans. No AC ( ever , I beleive) So as its straining the Alternator I was thinking of a seperate relay switch to manually switch them on off. Has anyone done this ? If so whats best and diagram please ? Unl...

Huge thanks to all who helped. Panic over. :clap: :thumleft: After trying to establish if I had a master key ( which key was the right one) figured if it locked it in Valet it should open it. ( this gave me confidence to keep using more force ) So more GT80 into lock to clean it out. Quick drive aro...

Thank you.

sorry , I meant above the lettering and before the boot lid.

or above the actual barrel lock

I appreciate the reply.

so I could possibly drill thro plastic in part between lettering and top and access it there ? ( without removing plastic ? )

Did the lock work again ? ie. did it reset so you could still use it with the norml keys. ? Can I just remove the "MR2 " lettering part of rear panel and drill thro that ? did you have to use a coathanger type thing to get it ? I cant be certain that I am using the correct keys. I have a l...

1991 rev 1 Boot Lock stiff so twisted accidentally onto what seems Valet mode. Cant budge it. tried WD and black handles key as well as silver metal key. nowt. Does anyone have experience of success by just wiggling and WD40 ? or is orf to the drill and hack it ? Any suggestions or experience is wel...

Can somebody please tell me what REV / Year Front Struts will fit an 1991 Rev 1 car ?

What are the differences from Rev 1 to 2 / 3 etc ?

I am looking for a Front Strut for a Rev1.

Many Thanks
