just got my dream car last week an rs200 from japan..
when i got car it was completely empty no gas ,,im confused how they passed gas station
and came to my house with car on empty,,

anyway i put in gas and car sputtering like a buterfly.. i cleaned throttle chamber
and it idle better , but when im driving it . it has trouble in firt gear and when shift to second
it flat lined no power... i its now at my mechanic thyre checking injectors maybe theyre clogged..

any help appreciated ,,,,,

Send it back?

surely there must be some sort of warranty?

i live on the island of montserrat west indies,, probably cost me as much as it cost to ship it back ..

i think im f.....k ...d or hope for a miracle...

Cleaned the maf sensor?

not yet , but will have it done .. read somewhere i need something like contact cleaner hope i can find some... thanks..

wow .. cleaned maf all is ok car is sweet .. i ordered new one just to be safe.... tks pal...

Heh...when i get my car, i`ve got the problem like this But when i`ve cleaned maf all is ok too. Why japanese cant do it him self?

They say it's a really fiddly job - it's the exact same MAF on my car as you guys have on the RS200 and I cleaned mine recently, it's dead easy just being careful with a cotton bud and contact cleaner

Japanese are very lazy people. They are never change gearbox oil too. Or it`s easyly to change new gearbox to them than to change gearbox oil just in time

Good point, not sure if some of that is on the service schedules even over here in the UK - just had mine swapped out with all new Toyota ATF-IV for the autobox and Motul GEARS 300 for the diff!

Do the IS200/300 have MAF sensors on them....whats the little black stick thing inside the big air box just as you lift up the cradle that holds the airfilter in.....

The IS200 is a MAP sensor mate so don't think you can clean that - not sure about the 300 though?

Actually just had a quick scan and looks like the 300 is MAF
