Hello, Some of you may have read my post a while back in the general section, i was the lucky one who's been given a 1996 rev3 turbo!!! :D :D When my dad bought the car it seemed in very good condition, with air con half leather seats and aftermarket 17" alloys. We soon found problems though, t...

How would you know if the knock sensor was down?
Where is it?

What limits it to 10 psi in first and second?

Top speed? Well, just get the Celica diff and the MR2 will be geared for 175mph too. Should take around 350bhp to get it there, at which point you're in a faster car. I owned one of these a, tt import, for around 3 years. They are expensive cars to repair and run. But also blindingly fast. Mine was...

Don't really have the funds to pay a garage labour rates!! I'll get there, learn a bit about these engines along the way hopefully.

Anyone?

Thanks. That's one theory ticked off the list.
So does anyone know anything about baffles in the ports? This is what owens said.
Have i missunderstood them talking about exhaust valves?

sensor that looked like the wires went to a connector next to where the lambda wires go. it's just cable tied out the way. about 2.5inches long, black, with a threaded bolt on the end with the wires. Just to clarify the wires for it come out of a grey connector next to the connector that the lambda ...

Could the sensor i've found be a cat temperature sensor. not sure if mr2s have these?

My friendly mot man sticks the reader up another cars pipe.

it's got a de-cat so i know it's not that.

i just spoke to my old man and he says he remembers owens saying somethng about baffles in the exhaust that might be sticking. I can't find anything on here about exhaust baffles!

Is my dad more senile than he knows, or were they pulling our chain?

right, i just checked for codes and it flashed constantly no pauses, so nothing stored. I did happen to see a sensor that looked like the wires went to a connector next to where the lambda wires go. it's just cable tied out the way. about 2.5inches long, black, with a threaded bolt on the end with t...

I haven't checked for error codes. i will search on how to and get it done asap. They did check the timing but i can't remember the outcome on that i'm sure they would have altered it if it were wrong. I changed the dizzy about 18 months ago to see if that would rectify it but no go. I plan to give ...

He always ran it on tesco super unleaded. Owens checked loads of things, they had the car for a full saturday. They hooked up an external boost gague and didn't think there was a leak, they checked the voltage outputs from (correct me if i'm wrong) the lambda sensor and couldn't find a fault. they l...

Hello All, I hope people don't take an instant dislike to me because of the following. My loving dear old dad has just given me his 1996 MR2 Turbo :D , Steel Mist Grey, Half leather, TRC, and some dodgy problems :( . First off when he bought the car 3 years ago on 42000 miles it had just had a recon...

The cars are reliable. But sometimes they don't get the attention they deserve from previous owners which will cause premature failure of some parts.
