  1. Hello to you all in the Starlet owners club. I am writing to see if any one out there can help me find a distributor for my EP71 turbo s with the 2E telu engine. I jumped into my car early in the morning to take the kids to school and the engine just turned over with out even a cough. I thought that maybe something was wrong with the HT,s. When I pulled the bonnet release it was slack. On opening the bonnet I discovered the problem. My distributor was gone. It was stolen while I slept on the day of my birthday. So far I have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement and do
  2. To everyone on this forum Thanks for a great WELCOME
  3. Hi mech5107 That is really a good idea about the idle control valve! Can this be found on most Toyota engines? I took my car for diagnostics and troubleshooting,when I got it back an apprentice gorilla had crushed the unit in a vice ( guess he thought a girl would not notice and said he tried to service it and it really is not a  necessary item......) The car had a slight misfire and  high idle, when I got it back it was undrivable .(maybe his mate needed some parts????.) Am I correct in thinking that any idle up solenoid will work even if it looks different? Is it meant to
  4. Hello Ryan The description on the component is a turbo pressure sensor but is essentially a map sensor or main engine load sensor. The part no is really long winded 89421-10020 ND 079800-0870. Have seen some vacuum operated sensors where the first part of the no is the same , but not the last. The sensor diaphragm is acted apron by the boost pressure which then converts this to an electrical signal by the ECU. It has one pipe connected to the intake manifold and a 3 pin electrical connector on the other end. Will organise some pics soon. Thank you for your interest. I think I will learn a lo
  5. Hi Simon That was really a speedy reply!! Will send photo soon. I do however have a part no for the Turbo Pressure Sensor ( which is a map sensor) . The naturally aspirated cars have sensors which work off vacuum. This one however works on pressure. The no is as follows: Turbo pressure sensor. 89421-10020 ND 079800-0870 It has one outlet for a hose which connects to the intake manifold and a 3 pin electrical connector. It is fitted on the rear bulkhead in the engine compartment near a diagnostics plug. Someone told me that the sensor from the EP 82 could be the same, but have yet to confirm
  6. Hi Andy I love your new Glanza. I'm from Harare in Zimbabwe and don't see many of those here. My baby is full of primer and partly windowless at this stage as I am doing the body work. Wonder if Toyota stock the decals? Might have to make some up. The suspension and brakes are all done , just need some horsepower! Thanks for the introduction. Think we will see some cool cars here.

  7. Hi My name is Halina. I have owned a 1986 Toyota Starlet Turbo S for about 3 years now. I have slowly been replacing all the worn parts on the suspension only to discover that I need a new Turbo Pressure sensor and idle control valve before the engine will run properly.This is my first car with electronics and sometimes I wish it had a carburettor and points! Have been looking everywhere but to no avail. If I don't find anything soon it will become a very large expensive door stop. Is there anyone out there who knows where to find such things? Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheerio
