    I'm on the road and the alternator has failed on my '93 T. Details: 1. Safe in my hotel, located in Cherokee, NC - not far from the Tail of the Dragon 2. Alternator light came on yesterday afternoon when engine speed was less than 2500 RPM. If revved above it would go out and stay out until RPMs...

    Good Afternoon Friends, I have an 87' AW11 MR2 that's having some charging issues. The car runs and drives fine and at idle it seems to be in the normal range. However Anytime I put my foot on the throttle the voltage goes up to about 15-18v and shakes (throttles between 15-18v) constantly. At...
  3. MKII, 90-99 NA & Turbo
    I’ve been having this problem where the alternator won’t charge the battery even though the alternator is new and good (I had it tested twice) would I need a new wiring harness or is it something smaller?
  4. Supercharger / Turbo FAQ
    So I am completely new to the MR2 world and my wife and I just picked up a 1988 Supercharged model. It is in need of an alternator and after looking around online I figured I would pick all your brains for a little help. First off, am I correct that a 1988 Supercharged MR2 is an AW11? Or are...

    Friends! I replaced my battery last October and as soon as I brought her out of storage in March she was completely dead. I threw my jump box on the battery and within 1 minute she turns over. However, if i keep the jump box on the battery for a few minutes while running, the idle starts going...

    Hello everyone, I need to replace an alternator- what is the stock alternator amperage for a 1993 non-turbo with manual steering and manual trans? I have seen mixed answers from 70, 80, 90, to 100A. I believe (in the US) 100A was for power-steering models while 80A was for manual; is that...
  7. General MK2 FAQ (Newbie Center)
    Hello, I have been searching around for a while it seems like and I keep running in circles it feels like. I have came across ton of info about 70, 80, and 100 amp alternators for the MR2. I have only found people talking about the 90amp on fourms but no definitive facts. I know it exists...

    Hi everyone, I'm finishing up my 4th gen swap and running into a couple road blocks. I didn't realize that the stock alternator location on the 4th gen gets in the way of the tubing for the side mount intercooler. The engine is already installed with the alternator in its stock location. I know...

  10. MKI MR2 Parts Wanted To Buy Or Trade
    As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new alternator. O'Reilly's, AutoZone, RockAuto, TwosRUs, Toyota and Amazon all do not carry the 4AGZE alternator or brushes to rebuild it. They carry the NA alternator, just not the supercharged one. Does anyone have a reputable source for an alternator...

  13. 3SGTE Turbo
    With a full battery charge I have excellent spool up and performance for around four minutes, after that the car does not want to run over 3 k rpm. In your opinions, do you think that when I replace the alternator, I'll be 100 %? I'm new to the turbo scene as I own a v6 3vzfe, this turbo is a...
  14. 3SGTE Turbo
    I am looking for an alternator for my gen 3 with no power steering. I was wondering if it is interchangeable with the gen 2 and if not, what alternators would work. Toyota doesn't order parts for japanese engines so I can't just go OEM gen 3. Thank you!

I took apart the wiring harness with a bundle of about 9 wires and I couldn't find a home for two of them. If anyone has an idea or know where it should go please let me know. Here is...

I am also wondering if anyone has suggestions for removing rust from the wheel wells and what works best. I...

    Just acquired a '91 US 3sgte, and 2nd day I have it, I start the car, smell burning electronics, then the Alternator and oil pressure lights both come on. I verified the Alternator is not putting out (12.11v when revving the engine) Before I replace the Alternator what should I check? (I am...

    Last night I was messing around with my buddy & redlined my car for maybe a second or two. Immediately following that the 3 lights of death for my alternator came on & would randomly flash on & off for about the next minute or so. All of the times the lights would come on my voltage would raise...
