Should be located in the removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
the fuel tank is located under the shifter, in between the seats under the car You have to take the armrest out inside the car between the seats and unplug your fuel gage before removing the gas tank.(or you will rip out the wires)
Take it to Auto Zone and have the codes checked and cleared, for free.
The main difference is the engine. While both versions use 1.6liter Toyota Engines, the GSI is a DOHC engine, a version of the 4-AGE engine used in the 1st generation MR2 and the top of the line Corollas, and JDM Sprinters of the 80's. known for high revs and being a blast to drive. I had an 87 mr2, got 35MPG and ran like a go cart!! The interesting thing is that this is the highest HP version of the 4-AGE that was ever released in America, at 130hp, MR2/Corolla versions were 116hp, (japanese 20valve version makes like 170ish?), and it is not in a toyota, it is in a GEO who would think? The Corolla and MR2 stopped using this engine in 89, but the GEO kept it going another 3 years. Cool car, I hear it is quick, especially with the 5spd, and I have been lokoing for one, but they are rare.
The radiator is still located in the front like any other car, it just has extended piping to reach the radiator. If you ever take a look at a technical diagrahm of the Spyder, you'll see its still located in the front and the piping runs on each side of the car.
Check your: Distributor cap and rotor (Mr2 turbo's are well known for their ability to eat distributor caps alive) Spark plugs (look for signs of detonation, burning oil, running rich/lean) If you have detonation, turn down the boost or check your timing. If you are burning oil, check your piston rings. If you are running rich/lean, take off any aftermarket blow-off valve, and replace it with the stock by-pass valve. Also, check your MAF. MAF Sensor.
what is the sparkplug gap on a 1987 toyota corrola?
Up next to the firewall on the bottom radiator hose, on the right side near the intercooler, on the MKII
No , the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 1987 Toyota MR2 is not an interference engine

Thermostat is on the back passenger side of the engine. You will have to remove the right engine mount, accessory belt, and alternator in order to access the water neck that houses the thermostat. Get a mirror so that you can see where the water neck is located.

that is the oxygen sensor on the exhause manifold.
thermostat is by the engine. open up the engine hood. standing from the back of the car looking towards the front of the car. the thermostat is on the right hand side (passanger side) and runs from from a hose to the mount on the engine. It's under the water pump.
