| Mechanical | | Toyota MR2 MK1 N/A - Rear wheel seems like its wants to fold under? | | When driving on curvy roads my 86 MR2 seems to me like the wheel, mostly on the right rear, feels like it is about ready to "fold under" the car. In a corner it enters fine but all of a sudden it has the above feeling and quickly "oversteers itself". The other issue is sometimes whither this feeling is there or not it acts like the clutch slips and the car "shudders". Ant help would be appreciated. Thanks! |
| Mechanical | | Toyota MR2 MK1 N/A - power door locks | | PDLs on my '85 MR2 are stuck in the locked position
and locksmiths are unable to get it open. Dealers
and local service people have never heard of this
problem. Looks like they will have to break out a
window and possibly destroy a door to get it open.
Any ideas on how to open the car without all the damage? Once they get in then it will be easy enough to test and replace the various electrical and mechanical components. |

| Mechanical | | Toyota MR2 MK1 N/A - Sounds like a prop shaft noise but I know I dont have one ! | | when driving there is a low but audioable noise like a bump bump bump which speeds up and slows down with the speed of the car, as siad its not very loud and the faster you go the engine drowns it out. Have run down a hill with the car out of gear and engine off, still get it so think its drive shafts ? wheels seem solid no play so not bearing.. for us older people the noise is a bit like when you used to attach a cigarette card to your bike wheel with a clothes peg ! have heard very similar noises before on another car but this was from the prop shaft! Any ideas ? |
| Mechanical | | Toyota MR2 MK1 N/A - Knocking coming from rear-left wheel... | | I have an '86 NA MR2 and, recently, the left rear wheel developed a knocking. At first it was pretty faint, but has grown to be pretty loud. The knocking steadily increases along with the speed.
I have taken the wheel off and examined the tire - it looks fine.
I looked at the brake rotor - it doesn't look bad.
I looked at the CV boots, and they look fine. I figured that if it was a CV joint problem, the boot would be the first thing to go...correct me if I'm wrong.
I was thinking it might be a bearing because it recently started having a little metal on metal griding noise every now and then, but I don't see why the bearing would have the steady knocking.
Has any one else experienced anything like this before?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks! |

| Mechanical | | Toyota MR2 MK2 N/A - Car cutting out coughing and spluttering | | I need help quickly!! I have a 1993 mr2 gts and having some worrying problems. On cold mornings having bother getting it started, changed the temp sensor but still the same but always get it up and running eventually. When in any gear on the road with revs between 1000 - 2000rpm it coughs and splutters seems like no power is getting through even with the foot planted it struggles. Once up past 2200 rpm seems to be okay. On wet days the problem seems to be worse, i have an air filter on it would it help if i put original air box back on? Also the car seems to be running rich, very heavy on the fuel and dont think i'm getting maximum power all the time? Also on start up in morning once its ticking over if i give it a little throttle say 2500rpm then lift of, suddenly the revs die and it either cuts out or almost cuts out. Can anyone help?
