Ryan5793 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 it takes ages to start and then runs very lumpy then as soon as you drop off the throttle it dies. Quote

stavros Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Fuel filter pherhaps? I had a similar thing on a previous car. Just a thought Quote
hill_bill10 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 it either sounds more like a timiing issue or choke issue maybe? checck all your vac hoses are still on and ok and then id suggest checking the timing belt and seeing if its still timed up correctly Quote
GreaseMonkey Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Hi there, just a thought but, Just a few things to check going by the symptoms you've reported. (P.s AT YOUR OWN RISK, so if what I suggest goes wrong, don't blame me lol!.) Any DTC's ( Engine warning light/ Engine Codes ) From experience and the Toyota manual, poss causes and to check the following under the following symptoms, the same 1st thing to check occurs, and from what you wrote " Filled up last night" looks plausible you might have dodgy or contaminated fuel?Symptoms:Difficult to Start/ Normal Condition.Poor Idling / Rough Idle/ Misfire.Poor Driveability/ Knocking.Engine Stall Soon after Starting. (All point to for first check)1. Fuel Quality.Other things I would be checking, not in any particular order but preference imo :Electrical Plugs & Connectors behind Glove Box & in Engine bay15A EFI Fuse & EFI Relay15A AM1 Fuse Spark PlugsValve Timing (Cam Timing Belt)Temp sensorDistributor/ Igniter assy.Hope this helps. Cheers, Greasemonkey. Quote
dai_starletN/A Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 thanks guys the more the merrier Quote
yaristurbo Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Just had a thought, micras after short journeys flood, I know it's not a micra but worth checking, either remove the fuel pump fuse or clamp off the injector feed fuel line and crank it over for a few times. Do this with plugs out or in, more effective with them out . Get it put back together and try and start it Quote
