MR2 problem help overheated

My mr2 WAS running great. blew some fuses, which led to my h/c gauge not working, and as a terrible coincidence, my car started overheating that same day. something is definitely wrong, thought I would take a crack at it before taking it to a mechanic. any ideas?

hey man sounds like there is probably a broken pipe or tore hose where the engine is getting air and thats why it starts shaking and turns off

yeah, that sounds right. After talking a lot on the mr2 forums, i discovered that it's probably a vacuum seal leak, causing the car to choke. The only problem is after sitting the starter and battery rotted so now I have to buy those parts before fixing the gasket, hanks for the advice though, that confirms what i was thinking

im not much of a mechanic but u may want to check the fuel lines and the fuel filter and make sure that there is enough fuel going into the injector/s(not sure if is one or four).

yeah, i think it actually has a vacuum seal leak, causing it to get too much air and therefore not enough fuel...good news is it's an easy fix from what I hear :D

I took the guage fuse out for about 2 seconds in my mr2 to figure out if thats why the gauge lights weren't working. as soon as I unplugged the fuse the car started running like shit, popped the fuse back in it went back to normal. The gauge lights are on the tail lights fuse btw, but your mr2 will not run correctly with a blown gauge fuse. Might wanna try that first, youll have to do it anyway to get it running right.

is it still idling crappy? if so it could be a vacuum seal leak, after much research I determined (with the help of some experienced mr2'ers) that's most likely the problem

Ok I took my car into toyota running .... and it came out running fine and they wouldn't tell me what was wrong, and they didn't charge me the 99 dollars to diagnose either :)
