Brilliant tip there! Got the new part on yesterday. I was hoping the car would stall as the idle control screw is as low as it will go. It didn't but was idling a lot better at 1000rpm. This is still a touch high though and I can't adjust it any lower. Anything else I should check with regards to id...

Finally got his money back, new part ordered!

Scrap that! Was thinking of the wrong thing, although I will check the ignition timing as well.

How easy is it adjust the cam timing if it's out on these cars?

If it's a tooth out is it just a case of resetting the timing to 10deg?

Not yet. We ordered the part but it came in worse condition than the one we have! We cleaned the ISCV we have and it's very free moving apart from the very last bit. So it will fully open but won't fully close without using some force. Without the sensor attached I can manually close the ISCV and ma...

As title really. Are they compatible? If not is the ISCV and sensor the same for both?

I have contacted them already but had no response yet. Will try ringing them as well. I've found a solution to getting an ISCV, most throttle bodies on ebay come with the ISCV and sensor attached to them. Just need the gasket. Is a rev2 throttle body the same as the rev 1. I can see a visual differe...

Ok, my friend has a part cleaner at work (high pressure water cleaner) so he's going to give the valve a good blast through. There was quite a bit of oil in there. Any advice on where to get a replacement gasket? Can't seam to find anywhere to buy parts like this for the Mr2. As a side note, worryin...

Had the ISCV off last night and tried testing it. The valve itself wouldn't budge until I put some pliers on it and forced it round! It's much looser now but when testing (connecting sensor to battery) nothing happened. Valve just stayed in same position. Could it be a faulty sensor? If that stopped...

When I'm checking the ISCV should the valve open and close fully or should there be a slight gap when closed?

Found how to test the intake temp sensor as well so will give that a go.

What I meant by normal for the idle to dip is that because the idle is so high it's normal for it to dip like that, I didn't mean it being normal for the idle to dip in general :wink: First thing I did yesterday was to try and reset the idle speed just incase (bit of wishful thinking lol). Bridged T...

Managed to find a picture from the advert and the redline is at 7000rpm

I'll have to check. After looking at pictures of the 3sfe and 3sge I'm pretty sure it's not the 3sfe.

As a side note, the car might feel under powered because it could be the 119bhp version

I'll have a look for the engine code but is there any other clear signs that would suggest the lower power model, like trim level? Spoiler? etc

So had a chance to have look last night. I think the issue is definitely around the throttle body and intake pipes. Took the whole intake off the throttle body and found out what the previous owner meant by "restrictor" on the intake. Just before the intake pipe attaches to the throttle bo...

Thanks for that. Loads of things to check. Will have a look over the next week and let you know how we get on!

So I'm new here......I don't actually own an MR2! So brief background, I'm into cars and own a mk1 Mx5 (not sure if that's a swear word here lol). My friend decided to buy himself a car that would be more fun than a Ford Focus. I obviously suggested an mx5 but he wasn't keen. So second suggestion wa...
