Re: [MK2] [N/A] Power Steering Motor Not Stopping

Hi, it supposed to shut off after 20 seconds if you are stopped and the don't move the steering wheel. I would check and replace all capacitors in the PS ECU and driver board. They tend to cause problems at their age. I made a quick guide years ago: https://www.imoc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=&t=1943...

Re: Car won't start, any ideas?

Hi Steve, If you have spark, the igniter itself (and its grounding) should be alright. I might consider changing the fuel filter and pop the ECU lid to see if any capacitors crapped itself. Did you try opening the butterfly valve when cranking? The IAC valve could be stuck closed, not providing enou...

Re: Parts shared with other Toyota Models - has to be

Welcome along! Seems like a nice ride! The part number for the right side regulator is 85710-17030. This part number is only for MR2. I don't have vast knowledge about regulators, but I would also assume a Landcruiser one might fit as well. Did you verify that the window actuating scissor mech is no...

Re: Springs and struts

I think I nailed it.
Eibach Pro-kit front, KYB RD5460 rear.

Very happy with the look and height.
Handles and steers better with the front being lower compared to the higher KYB springs.

Re: Availability of 3sgte OEM Main Bearings

Hi,

Did you check amayama and toyotapartsdeal.com?

I quickly checked for mark 4, available on both websites.

Let us know.

Re: Springs and struts

Thanks! Spring insulators are a must if you want less noise and vibration in the cabin. Our 2s got one on the front (top of the spring) (48157-17020), I just added extra on the bottom because more is better. Rears got them too in the means of the top mount which is part rubber. I added them to my co...

Re: Springs and struts

Got the Yellow Bilsteins installed couple weeks ago with KYB RD5460 and RD1613, I'm pretty happy with it. They are only a little softer my my coilovers were, but you can feel the quality is higher. Rebound is much more controlled. I mean the wheels doesn't kick back that violently on certain bumps/i...

Re: Occasional very hard start

Looks like I got it sorted. The coil looked and measured good so I left it. Cleaned the coil/igniter bracket properly for good grounding and changed the igniter to my spare unit. Also installed a little cover to protect the laminated core of the coil from rain https://i.imgur.com/GUWSnVWl.jpg Sensor...

I have my Xiaomi TPMS (with internal sensors) installed for nearly a month now, I'm very happy so far. https://i.imgur.com/3ZRKmFJl.jpg Originally wanted to place it near the map light area, but might remain here for good. The tire shop installed it without any hassle at all. Chinese can make decent...

Occasional very hard start

Hey Guys, Recently got the above problem in some mornings. Might be weather (rain) related, not sure yet. It cranks and there is fuel smell in the exhaust so I believe its ignition related. It took 3 very long ignitions to have it started in the morning. Connected and grounded a spare igniter, didn'...

Re: Springs and struts

Thanks for the replies! I also though that different struts would contribute to front-rear height differences. Maybe no surprise as there are so many different part numbers for only one corner. For example: Front Left NA+Turbo: 48520-17100, 48520-17120, 48520-17121, 48520-09025, 48520-19035, 48520-1...

Re: Aftermarket Tyre Pressure Sensors

I have a set of Xiaomi TPMS, but not fitted yet so cannot give a honest opinion. My tire guy wasn't blown away when I told him I want them in for my next set. He was concerned about the longevity of the o-ring which seals on the rim when installed. He said they always fail over time. Still, I trust ...

Do you mean the TPMS ones or just the little handheld gauges?

Re: Springs and struts

Hey mate, Thank you very kindly for your reply! Wish I could have got some OE rebuldable struts, but I will stick now with yellow Bilsteins. They gotta be good enough. Already on their way :D I've seen H&R is decent, they also have spacers and their own coilovers. However, when I was doing my re...

Springs and struts

Hey Guys, I'm not too far from upgrading my current suspension setup from D2 coilovers to standard-ish setup on my daily driver REV3 Tubby. The roads are getting worse here in Ireland and I'm getting older :D Having an eye on the yellow Bilsteins (B6), but not entirely sure what to expect from them....

Re: Possible fuel or sensor issue?

Hi David, I would really change my fuel filter after all that 3 years old fuel... As for the coolant temp sensor, it should be located near the oil pressure SW switch. There is a junction there for the coolant passages. The sensor for the gauge there as well but that's not important. ECU uses a diff...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine revs raising on warm idle

You are most welcome.

I found the topic I read years ago about this
https://www.mr2oc.com/threads/running-r ... ed.433011/

Not exactly your problem, but the guy at post #8 mentions "The cap pictured is part of the idle control circuit iirc"

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine revs raising on warm idle

Two proper sized female blade connector+wire is perfect to attach to to TPS terminals and make measurements/adjustments. I think IAC would need a disassembly and cleaning. A multi-meter check is not enough as there is no feedback from it back to the ECU. I cleaned mine couple of years ago as a preve...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine revs raising on warm idle

No worries, let us know.

Also, I gutted one cheap aftermarket TPS sensor out of curiosity, it was different internally than the genuine 89452-22090, and didn't pass all multimeter checks listed in the manual. Since then I got a genuine known good used one as a spare.

Cheers
