Default Troubleshooting the problem

Ok,

Intake track leak, makes sense. How does one begin to troubleshoot that problem? What parts should I take out or replace?

Thanks.

Did you bleed the air out of your radiator? Remeber that the MR2's needs the air removed from the radiator system also unplug the thermoswitch located at the btm of the radiator so your fan will stay on at all time. Then check your timing

easy way to check for air leak in intake ..get a can of carb cleaner carfully spray around intake manafold ,injectors,TB,and any vac lines ...as you spray the intake with engine running listen for rpm Increase and drop when you hear that you found your leak ..then repair ...also make sure you have good exaust flow at tail pipe ..if your exaust is cloged (at the cat or other area ) it will be very hot with little to no flow , if you still have a cat in the car i wouldnt drive it with the egt gauge that high you could make enough heat to melt the cat and start i fire ,iv seen two older supra's do that .

Continue to drive your car like that and the engine will blow. You better fix this problem. Do like he said with the throttle body cleaner. Replace your factory intercooler coupler eith a more higher quality coupler which you can buy locally at amazon hose, or get from online at www.atpturbo.com. I would also consider replacing the throttle body gasket. Have you ever taken any of these parts apart before, such as the throttle body, intake manifold, or anything like that?

Default The MR2 is the hands of the Toyota Gods

I dropped off my car at Lakeland Toyota last Friday. I carefully drove it there. It made it ok. Will post what they find.

THanks to all, PEACE-
