Happy days mate! Bet you are well chuffed!

Looking forward to progress on this pal. Looks like you have picked up a tidy motor!

Well that is certainly bright! Best of luck for tomorrow mate, hope all goes well!

Lovely colour GLWTS!

The news one is the best!

I suppose its all in the fun of owning a Starlet! Got is sorted-ish. Well the diagnostics trigged 3 fault codes, which were nothing to do with the problem. Truns out the ICV is to blame, unplugged it ang hey presto revs droped right now. Its now in an ultra sonic cleaner to see if it helps. Its running fine without it, but the EML is on :/

Unfortunately, no where for me this year, saving to go away next year, want to got to Cuba, Japan, Dubai or Hong Kong haven't decided yet.

If you take the ICV off, and just plug it in there is no error codes, it only pulls up the error codes when on the TB. Another note, if you turn the nipple that the ICV goes on to you can adjust the idle.

Now sorted, turns out it was the idle control valve.

Well after a quick diagnostics, got theses codes. 24 = air temperature sensor 25 = running lean 41 = TPS What would cause these all to go at once? Its definitely not running lean, black smoke.

Cheers dude, much appreciated!

Where is it? lol I've know on a 4e-fte its on the intake manifold, but whereabouts in the N/A? Cheers in advance!

It has to be the Chaser Tourer V for me!

Will do! Gathering info at the moment, don't want to be stuck in a car park with no tools. So building a check list!

Good shout Morgey, never thought about the coolant, haven't had any leaks though and no over heating, so not sure wheather to rule it out?

All the usefull comments are coming out today haha. I haven't even had a chance to look under the bonnet, stuck in work at the momenet. Fingers crossed a hose has just popped off and it isn't something more sinister!

***Face Palm***

I'm not sure pal, I felt that they only concentrated on the premium cars, some of the standard cars looked like they were lifted stragiht from GT3

I was on the way to work this morning, pulled up to a set of traffic lights and the revs started to jump between 500 - 1500 then settled down. Drove for any 10 mile or so and got stoped at another set of lights, it idled at 1k then slowled increased to 2750ish and kept doing this. I haven't been driving hard, fairly easy, hasn't be above 60mph. Still having this issue now, any ideas or quick fixes? I'm thinking something to do the the TPS or has hose has came off. I've a 20 mile journey to make after I've finished work and no tools :/ Edit: I haven't had a chance yet to look under the bonnet as I has to go into work.

You can get these from RHD Japan or Tien UK - both official dealers.

If your going to need fabrication work done, go for a 3s-ge!

You would be as well using a hair dryer!

Unless it is a GLS with 25K on it!

What weekends are made for then! Sounds like you have it all planned out

Welcome, nice looking motor you have there!
