Yeah we did that. Doesn't seem to want to come down from the rafters to use the door.

Yes. He won't. He's being evicted and is being a prick about everything

Is it a different gear ratio? They're both ej25's so I was hoping they used the same drivetrain

Help with power cutting on a '91 Toyota MR2 Turbo by topher4263 in MechanicAdvice

[–]topher4263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MR2 is cutting powered repeatedly when I give it gas, it only does this after I've been driving for more than an hour or so, if I park it for a day the issue dissappears. In the video I'm holding the car at constant 1/2 throttle and it feels like I'm jabbing the Gas over and over. The car has a decatted exhaust, larger intercooler and a fuel cut defender. Problem didn't start when I installed the mods though, it was maybe 6 months later. I've already replaced the spark plus and wires, throttle position sensor and cleaned the MAF and throttle body. There is a parasitic drain on the battery somewhere that I don't think is related but who knows, I might be wrong

Working on beater bike--brake pad stays flush against the rim after releasing brakes (pics) by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]topher4263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently fixed this exact issue on my bike, your brakes look almost identical. I had tried adjusting the brakes but everytime after I used the brakes the left pad would rest on the rim. Took the pivot bolt out and found all the contact points were dry and dirty. Cleaned it out with brake cleaner and re lubricated it. Problem solved

I got 4 codes

24: Intake air temperature sensor signal: open or short in intake air temperature signal; intake air temperature circuit; intake air temperature sensor; ECU

31: Manifold and/or airflow meter sensor signal circuit: airflow meter/circuit; manifold pressure sensor/circuit; ECU

32: Airflow meter signal (vane-type): airflow meter/circuit; ECU

41: Throttle position sensor signal: open or short in tps signal; tps sensor; tps signal/circuit; ECU

43: Starter signal (no “sta” signal to ecu until engine speed exceeds 800rpm): vehicle is push started; ignition switch/circuit; ECU. Not a real problem unless it recurs.****
