If the original motor was burnt out then there is usually a reason why it burnt out in the first place Sounds like a sticky relay/regulator issue, there is a small electric windows relay/regulator mounted some where that shuts power to the electric windows when they fully close or open, it sounds li...

You sure the screeching noise ain't the fan belt slipping? I have never heard a starter motor screech before. Could be the kick solenoid not letting the starter cog retract after engine start, which means the starter is jammed out and being rotated via the engine when it’s running, this will give y...

lol, funny i was going to say coil pack, then i carried on reading and saw it mentioned.... id like to know how best to protect this from happening?? am sure ive read of lots of folk who have had this issue.... clearly spray from the road is easily finding its way to the coil and getting it damp......

quiet strange actually... only the other day i was waiting at the lights (not up front, but like 3 cars back), and can what only be described as idiots, started making all these vvrrroom vvvrrroom, pptttssshhh noises while looking in my direction...clearly loud enough so i could hear.... honestly h...

Lol well I’m guessing this has stumped as few with the no replies :roll: Well after rigorous regime of testing, :pray: :-k ](*,) It would appear the charging system and battery is a contributing factor, I filled the 2 cells up with water and fully charged it, this morning it’s held a good charge, re...

Yea I completely agree with the statment above :thumleft: Around my way most of the MR2’s are chavified, exhausts bigger than the car an car lowing bordering on the ridiculous :? the 2 is already low why lower it further and kiss every speed bump you meet :roll: , chav boy racers boosting it up high...

Over fuelling and excessive oil usage could be a symptom of so many other things, the engine would smoke if valves stem seals where leaking and you would also get smoke if piston rings were worn or not honed in properly, I had a car once with worn valve stem seals it would smoke constantly and be aw...

Mine stays on the road all the time, it never does a car any good being laid up for months on end with no action engines bloody hate it it's the quickest way to shag an engine especially if you live in a real cold damp area :| , it’s not to bad if you keep cranking oil around the engine every week o...

If it’s at the rear of the car then check the rubber hoses coming off the main radiator pipes that run underneath the car, next check the rubber hoses that come off of the heater pipes, all these pipes are located at the rear of the engine, chances are you may have a split etc, if no leak can be fou...

Dizzy cap, leads and plugs is the first area id look into. Had this problem for ages :-k , turned out to be ignition leads even though when I tested them they "appeared to be ok :-k ", my car is coming up 20 years old and the leads were original factory Toyota leads lol “year of manufactur...

It’s because there done up with such a torque, has to be that way otherwise they come undone and your cambelt and pully will wonder past you as you break down :( I think I can go one better, had the same problem on a mondeo years ago now, when I went to undo the bolt I found out the numpty who had t...

That mot looked very similar to one I was issued when I first had my 2 Break imbalance would mean one brake isn’t braking as hard as the other, you can get this problem for a few miles when you have just fitted new pads, you can carry this imbalance test on a open quiet straight road, go up the road...

Rev 2 import Speedo problem :? This has been an on going problem for the past year, my Speedo is electronic and seems to do a lot of dancing around at first start idle, always happens in the morning, I go to start her up and the Speedo will shoot up to 60mph and drop down slowly but wont normalise u...

Problem solved turned out to be iso wiring loom, I made some alterations to the loom, the reason why it came back was due to the Kenwood inline power suppressor had gone, but I thought there must be a way round this because suppressors only mask an existing problem so I downloaded a complete set of ...

Annoying radio buzz Hi folks been a while since I been here, anyway a problem I have that is quite frankly getting on my goat, couple months back I started up the car and I could hear what sounded like a fuel pump noise, I put my ear to the footwell next to the pump and it sounded fine, I accidental...

Nice one fella, always good news to hear it’s passed, I hate phoning my local mot place to see if it’s passed I always expect them to say “no it’s failed in spectacular fashion son, in fact get the crap heap off our property please” lol, mine failed last week due to high emissions but it’s was due t...

A warn clutch wouldn’t make it pop out of gear though :-k , it would make it hard to get into gear though if the shock springs in the clutch plate were warn then all gears would be hard to select, Sounds more like a syncro ring to me :( especially if it’s popping out under load, quite common on the ...

in my old VW golf, the following got me through a re-test on HC - new plugs - new air filter - spraying 10k boost (or similar) fuel cleaner intoo the engine with air cleaner off it worked for me, and was fairly cheap. Ian Thanks for the replies guys 8) Well I put in a new set of plugs last year NGK...

My 2 failed its mot today on HC emissions :( , my reading is MR2, Rev 2 1993 3s-GE no engines mod all stock HC: 255ppm (limit 200ppm) :o last years readings were 112ppm for HC with new lambda, and my old lambda always came out at about HC 54ppm but CO was very high :? is the new sensor a duff becaus...
