    Hey everyone, I have a p0171 (system to lean) code that won’t go away no matter what I do. With some research, I found that the 2zz has something different about the O2 sensors at the midpipe, either one more or one less than the 1zz or something I don’t completely remember. Do you think if I...

    Hey guys, I’ve spent the past few days reading through a lot of these forums for research on a possible engine swap, but I’m not sure if that’s what needs to be done. My 2001 MR2 that I bought 3 weeks ago, from a dealer, showed the oil light on the interstate a few days ago, before totally...

    Hello, been searching both this and the celica forums for everything related to VVT issues and I think I've arrived at needing a VVT gear. Here's what I've seen/done: Only error is P1349 ("VVT Malfunction"), doesn't show at idle, shows after driving a couple short trips. Activated both VVT and...

    2001 MR2 Spyder originally had 1zz with 5speed MT - I had previously taken the 1zz apart to drill out bigger oil return passages and hone the cylinders about 10 years ago. That reduced oil consumption but apparently didnt completely solve it. Last year my 1zz motor through a rod through the oil...
  6. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I have been struggling for almost 6 months trying to get my 2ZZ swap to run. I had no problems doing a cylinder head gasket and timing chain along with replacing the 5 speed with 6 speed transmission and replaced all the engine sensors as well. I initially tried to change the ECU pinouts myself...

    I finally found a nasty Celica GTS with a solid low mile engine! Now I don't have to steal the engine from my wife's Matrix XRS (yet)! Unfortunately, I have to go through the effort of completely scrapping out the Celica before I can touch the Spyder due to limited shop space. While I have no...

    Hi everyone, I'm a hobby car mechanics newb and I'm trying to sort the car out myself, so if any stupid questions occur, don't flame rather teach. (there's no such thing as stupid question, but the stupid answer.) Short introduction before tackling the problem. Bought 1zz turobed Spyder with C2...
  11. Appearance Modifications
    Hey guys I’m definitely confused here. I did a new 1zz to 2zz swap. While I was doing the swap I went ahead and did basic bolt on modifications (PPE HEADERS w/NO CAT MID PIPE, INTAKE, CATBACK EXHAUST, 2 UNDER DRIVE PULLEYS). When I start the MRS with the 2zz ECU idles for 30 sec and dies. But...

    2zz swap is finished , put fresh 91 octane fuel in it and took it for a drive. Sputtering like crazy, figured the ECU needs some driving time to find the right fuel trims. Drove again today for about 20 min , and car seemed to get a bit better , but still couldn't get past 2500-3000 RPM's. . No...
