Hi All!
I've got a 1987 Mr2 [non turbo] 1.6L 16 valve... Don't know if it's a 4AGE ... but it's got the round, circular air filter in the back left side of the trunk.
Am gonna be replacing the air filter with a K&N round air filter that fits the stock assembly, recently replaced spark plugs with NGK iridium spark plugs.
Was wondering what / which oxygen sensors [I've been lead to believe there's up to three? I'm not particularly familiar ...] I'd want to replace. I've been trying to find where they are, but the stock end-user manual doesn't have much for maintenance, certainly not as far as that.
Are there any available products on the market like upgraded ECU, T-VIS controller that you'd recommend? I saw one T-Vis controller, but the website was down ...
Also, how do you guys feel about lubricants? The clutch fluid reservoir said to use dot 3 brake fluid, so when I got ahold of / started maintaining the car, and it was shifting really rough, adding the dot 3 brake fluid did help a lot. Now I've been reading up about ROYAL PURPLE ... and they seem to be the top of the top of the line set of fluids. Do you guys recommend using the royal purple products? If so ... which would you use? Afaik, we have manual transaxle fluid [It's stick .. dunno if I mentioned that.] engine oil, clutch fluid, and brake fluid. [though I don't think royal purple has a brake fluid.]
Sorry to have so many questions .. so only one more, I promise.
When it's in gear and engaged, the oil pressure stays absolutely fine, but when you're sitting idle and in neutral for more than 3-5 minutes [IE, a fast food drive through] the pressure drops to about half between L and H, and will sometimes stall due to lack of pressure when I drop it in to first.
Is it normal for Mr2's to go that low at that idle? Maybe I'm just worrying too much, but I just really want to take care of this car.
Thank you VERY much.
