Starletz

All topped up, went for mot and passed! Mentioned I need a couple of new rear shocks soon though. Put a new drive shaft, new tyres, new brake pads and straight through the mot. Can’t beat the starlet. Was my first car and now my partners learning in it.

Thanks a lot Tim, these oils can just be added as needed in order to top up? I won’t need to drain all that’s in there first?

Hi, I’ve just replaced the drive shaft on my 1998 Toyota starlet Automatic. When Doing it I lost some fluid. My my question is: on the starlet automatic , would the fluid I lost be the gearbox oil or the automatic transmission fluid? secondly do I follow the DIY’s for the manuals? Use same gearbox oil? Thanks in advance. The cars not with me right now so I can’t check myself, so before I go over to do the work I thought I’d ask so I know what to expect when I get there to fix it.

hey, i had this problem on my N/A starlet - i fixed it by removing the air filter housing so you can get to the throttle body. Then remove the ICV switch/magnet located just under the throttle body Try twisting the now exposed valve from behind this switch, if it's really solid thats your problem. To fix it, just spray some carb cleaner/brake cleaner etc/ into the hole just before the throttle butterfly until it's full, then start wiggling this valve back and forth until it moves freely, put it all back together and take it for a bit of a blast. Car might stall a few times and be a little unhappy but after 10 mins of driving it'll be fine and back to normal.

an update guys - I removed the air filter housing, took the magnet bit off the icv, and sprayed some cleaner through the hole again until it was full, then started twisting the little valve back and forth... it was really solid but after a few twists became nice and loose. Idle is absolutely fine now! i can post some pictures/make a short guide if anybody wants

thanks daniel, ill just keep driving it and see how it goes... maybe give it a hard drive and see what happens

hi guys, my cars been sat for about a year. Before i left it, it was running perfect. Now when i start it, its okay... But after it warms up the idle runs high. I don't have a tacho but from ear i would say it was idling between 1500-2000. I thought it might be the icv and have sprayed some cleaner through the hole in the throttle body... but i don't know if i did it correctly. I did it with engine off? I don't really want to remove the throttle body because it has many hoses on it which i worry will crack... also the gasket would need replacing? Any suggestions?

as title says, looking for a corolla tubular inlet manifold for my N/A starlet auto thanks

Hey, was sitting just beside you on a black kawasaki bike... Car sounded good with the dump haha. I got a n/a starlet :/
