PWG123 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've only had my Starlet two weeks. It was absolutely fine started fine, the crap manifold the previous owner put on cracked and then split, i then came out the next morning to start it and it struggled to start, would only run on its own power, as soon as you gave it throttle it tried to die after 3 - 5 mins it's fine. I stopped driving it after this. I've now replaced with a Zisco (which the gasket hasn't seated and is still blowing). and still has the starting problem. also the engine management came on When the manifold split I guessed it was the O2 Sensor. Help would be appreciated as I'm pissed off at havingthe car two weeks and it has problems. cheerspete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
