ok thanks

It does not look like O2 sensor has something to do with it, otherwise it should throw in a CEL/code..

Check this out and repair as advised.

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 03:17 PM

possible clogged egr? or compression? I read on another mr2 site a while ago, that some guys replaced their o2 sensors because they couldn't diagnose a problem and it help them.... Let me see if I can link it, gotta find it...

Edit: found this while searching
Oxygen Sensor Information

masagsxr · 03-12-2009, 04:15 PM

I'm thinking EGR... We corrected the timing already, cleaned the throttle body and your air filter.... If your car still runs good, I don't think its the compression. Maybe we can also replace the fuel filter if you haven't.

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 04:28 PM

capital idea, at least those are cheap! well, my g20 fuel filter was 5 bucks

Davis · 03-12-2009, 04:29 PM

mr2 fuel filters are ~$25 from Mr. T, I was going to replace mines, but got lazy. It's just sitting in the compartment behind the seat haha.

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 04:34 PM

ill give you 20 for it

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 04:35 PM

Aren't the fuel filters kind of a pain to replace, or is that just on turbos?

Hey Colin...the KINKO :LOL: inserts are only for the front and rear. Not the two side ones. If the problem mount is the engine mount on the passenger side (if I recall correctly) then you'll just need new ones. TRD makes some

Davis · 03-12-2009, 04:47 PM

No! I'm still going to put it on haha.

First time I tried putting it on I couldn't break the bolt loose since the car was on the ground and it was a pain in the ass to get to from top. So I stashed it away until the right time comes.

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 04:51 PM

its the rear and the TRD ones are expensive

masagsxr · 03-12-2009, 04:52 PM

Kind of a pain to replace coz the fuel will certainly drip on you hehehee.... When I replaced mine maybe about a year ago, man that thing was all brown gushing out there. Rust particles etc....

I just did the Kragen way tho which was about $20.

Same here... I couldn't unbolt it but thanks to my impact gun it came right out. i did not use the gun tightening it tho. I just give it a real tight spin.... Other than that its easy.

Davis · 03-12-2009, 04:55 PM

Yeahhh, I didn't have my electric impact at the time, but I do now and I'm lazy!

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 04:56 PM

cool, i'll pick one up then

Shouldn't take any more than 30mins...... ok 1hour max... c'mon man.. get to it or u are grounded kid....

Davis · 03-12-2009, 05:13 PM

I can get it done in less than 15 minutes.

masagsxr · 03-12-2009, 05:18 PM

Hhhmmm... its possible.... Its easy to take it off now that you know but putting it back in is a little tricky

... I say about 30mins

C'mon man.. that'll probably give you another 1mile/gallon... thats about $15 bucks savings on a full tank :P

o6spdracer · 03-12-2009, 05:18 PM

Holy crap you guys type a lot. So Colin, what did you think of the side markers?

Tin, are you going to change the strut cartridges too? If so, what are you going to change them to?

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 05:23 PM

Yeah they do...I left for two hours and came back to almost two pages to catch up on

.

Yeah Tin!!! What'cha gonna use??? Konis, Tokicos, etc???

Davis · 03-12-2009, 05:27 PM

If I know Tin and I do know him, he's going to reply with "poop" in his sentence somewhere.

Hey Tin how was that in class essay? I was just writing whatever that came up in my mind, I don't think it made any sense really.
