Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

Ignition off. Connect TE1 and E1. Ignition on. Light just flashes constantly with no pauses. I think this is the correct procedure. I will try the other ECU that is in the boot to see if it makes a difference. Failing that I guess I can try to get/borrow another ECU.

Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

Ok. So having ordered the bracket, Toyota rang back to tell me its discontinued. I can have one complete with Ignitor for £451 if I like! - I do not like! Anyway, so drilled out and retapped old bracket, re-installed coil and ignitor and plugged ECU back in. Lo and behold, engine is running great! C...

Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

Wow, £10, you got a bargain. Just popped to Toyota at lunch and was quoted £26. Same part in the US is $9. Go figure. Guess I will be out with the sandpaper and the blowtorch tonight to remove the rusty screws and clean up the contacts! Incidentally I found another ECU lying in the boot, part number...

Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

OK, thanks for checking that. Not exactly sure how to interpret that information. For background, the car is a 1994 REV3 NA 3S-GE. Does that mean this is the wrong ECU for the car? I have looked on Ebay and all those being advertised as off a REV3 have the same part code. (17500) whilst the REV1/2 s...

Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

OK. So I removed the ECU, which wasn't actually bolted on, so I suspect has definitely been changed. Part number 89661-17500. Opened it up and everything inside looks fine. No bulging capacitors or obviously failed components and no burning smell. Removed the coil and ignitor. Ignitor is 89621-16020...

Re: MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

Had q quick look in the BGB but couldn't locate much information on the ignitor. I found information on how to test the coil for resistance. Is the ignitor easy to remove / where is it located? Thanks for your help....

MR2 REV3 NA not a happy bunny.

Hi, Hoping some experiences heads on this forum can point me in the right direction. I bought a REV3 for scrap money with a few known issues. Most have been resolved, but the main one I could do with some advice on. Basically the car starts OK and runs, but refuses to rev past 3500. Once you hit tha...
