I'm a new subscriber, engineer that works mainly on antique stuff, I also write troubleshooting and maintenance manuals.. I think your approach to solving the problems with Mr. Dos is very sound...it obvious you have solid fundamentals.. Please keep the excitement of discovering issues and solving them! Great entertainment as well as instruction... Your efforts are greatly appreciated

I have been watching all your videos in a row from old to new. I realize this is old now but I am so damn happy for you at this point. You have done an amazing job with Mr Dos. It's killing me not to skip ahead, but I'm enjoying this too much

Welcome back little Sarah, hope your Mum is feeling better😊

I absolutely love your enthusiasm when you finish a fix.And I half to say for the year I think yours is one of the nicest MR2's I've ever seen.Really nice job.

BRAVO! Sarah just FYI you have refreshed this old Mans memory on so many things "Retrained/Taught" me that I have forgotten that I do thank you for your very insightful videos.

I love your sense of humor and stick to it attitude. You’re a great example for everyone auto related or not.

I'm simply impressed with how clean the engine compartment is. Your attention to detail really shines through. Congratulations on the successful drive!

Hot dang. Its good to see little Sarah.

So happy for you! I've been following your journey for a long time so it's great to see the MR2 finally running.

I just got done watching every one of your videos, today. Then I felt that despair of having to wait for another video. Then you posted this one!!! LOL It has been an absolute treat watching your videos and I look forward to more.

Congrats Sarah! I know it's an amazing feeling when you can finally diagnose and fix an issue. Super happy for ya. Glad to see little Sarah back too. Keep up the awesome videos.

Congratulations Sarah on getting Mr.2 boasting now you can officially get him a cake to celebrate with a #1candle. More shenanigans with little Sarah please. Hope her mom is better, best wishes and speedy recovery.

Congratulations! It's always a great feeling when the fruits of your labor come together and you get the results that you've longed for. Keep up the good work Sarah!!!

Wow just learned something new, thanks for that amp draw/voltage drop step process.

Love your channel! You explain everything very well instead of just doing it expecting your viewers to understand it all. I'm really learning a lot thanks!

Hi Sarah, Fellow vailizonian here (is that the correct term). I've been enjoying watching your MR2 videos. I picked up a bit of a basket case/hacked up MR2 a while back. Im still working on it and cant wait to finally drive and build boost. You keep my hope alive! Thanks again!

Great result Sarah, hard work always pays off....it’s a great feeling when you finally get a car running good. Loved the smile on your face.

Wild little Sarah returns! Hope everything turned out ok back home! Whoo Mr. Dos is whistlinnnn so good. Good job Sarah!!

Congratulations! That valve fix you did reminded me of Ed China, he would be proud. Just proves that not every part with a problem has to be replaced. Some just need to be cleaned.

It was awesome to see MrDos run especially after all the drama you have had with him, particularly the electrical problems. It was interesting to watch you solve all the gremlins, you have done a fantastic job. Congratulations!

It is cool to see a KZfaqr so close to home. I'm in Sierra Vista and I wanted to thank you for showing me the car scene an hour away. It is dead down here. Great videos and I love the play on the car names.

Hi Sarah, Have you ever tried to set the timing statically? You wind the motor by hand until your mark on the balancer lines up with the desired timing settings behind it.(ensuring you are on compression on number 1 cylinder) Once the marks are lined up remove your spark plug and lead from #1 cylinder and hold the side of the plug to earth on the engine with the lead still attached. Now twist the distributor until you see the spark jump. You will find this will nearly be spot on when rechecking with a timing light. Hope this helps. Cheers 😁!

As an ex serviceman (UK) , I FIND your vlogs great fun to watch, nice to see little Sarah back too, looking forward to seeing the MR2 running well, love it's exhaust, all the best from the UK ,🇬🇧👍🇺🇸

I watched this entire series in 3 days just to see your face at 16:30 You have a gift most people dream of, and that look you had shows that you have a passion for what you do. Congratulations, i hope you enjoy it. You deserve Mr. Dos and much more. (:

Congrats Sarah! You have done an amazing job with both projects. I enjoy each vlog and always look forward to the next.

Yes! The persistance pays off! Great job! You so totally rock!

Congrats! Good to see Mr. Dos making boost. I am glad you stuck with it. I have had plenty of project cars that have taken a year to get on the road, there is nothing wrong with time invested!

Mr Dos lives! Nice job fixing issues one by one and getting that thing working again!

Porsche fan here, I work on my own vehicles, just finished repowering my 986. I really enjoy your channel, great content and u will admit that I have a mas crush as well! You are smart and Beautiful!!

Amen!! So happy to hear Mr Dos!! You are amazing !!

Great work Sarah. You’ve done an excellent job of that. Looks and sounds amazing. Now enjoy the fruit of your labour. Hope you enjoy driving your Mr2 as much as I enjoy driving mine 😁

Congratulations on getting MR dos running. I used to sell those when they were new. Very fun cars to drive.!

Yay,....little Sarah is back,....how's her mom doing ?! Anyway, great vid Sarah, 👍-up.

Good job figuring out that valve and getting it working. It's so exciting to see you driving that car after all of the grief and misery. How cool is that!

That smile and joy of success is priceless

Awesome! So happy for you. And welcome back Little Sarah!

Great job!! I knew you would fix it. Because you never let it beat you.

I work for O'Reilly. I'm glad to see you use our products and services. Hopefully those girls and boys treat you with respect. I love your channel (Forester Gump brought me here, I have a 2.5i), and I enjoy watching your progressions on Mr. Dos and TeeterTot. Keep up the great work!

anyone with a pulse must have smiled at the "yay i fixed the mr2 dance" i know i did . well done Sarah.

I know this is old, but I feel your excitement because I just got my MR2 swap finished and working!!! Keep the content up!

Yeah buddy !!! Congratulations ! Mr. Dos has woken from his siesta with your help. I remember when you first towed him home. This day has been long awaited. Don't forget he needs new zapatos :) Hopefully Little Sarah's mom is doing well, and expect your P.O. Box to be flooded with umbrellas over the next few weeks.

Well done Sarah. Great approach to fixing the issues you've had. I'll be servicing my cooling system on my mr2 soon, new radiator and thermostat as well as a good flush out. Great videos!!! Thanks

Nice! Love your videos and humor. Mr2 do give headaches. But they're such great machines.

Top work , great to see Mr dos getting his wheels turned !!

Congrats Sarah, this sounds like major progress. As an old guy, this takes me back to the late eighties, where I first saw a MR2 at Limerock park. It had the front end smashed in and was sitting on a single jack stand in the paddock area. MR2s do not take front end impacts very well, something to worry about now that yours is mobile.

Sarah for these kinds of problems a PowerProbe is the best. Beats the hell out of jumper wires.

Your mechanical skills are very impressive but what is more impressive is your troubleshooting skills I'm very envious wish I could do the same

Best field-expedient cup-link I've ever seen.. Keep up the good work!

Best video to date. Great troubleshooting. Glad to see you're almost there with this one.

Thanks for the Battery draining testing method ...Much appreciated.. Your vlogs are informative and most enjoyable to watch..

That was epically exciting Sarah Pure joy when a plan goes together

MR DOS LIVES! Great work Sarah.

There is nothing like boost, when you didn't have boost before. Love your reaction.

The ultimate payback! After all that hard work, congratulations!!! 👍👍👍

Been watching the mr dos videos for a long time now. So happy for you that you finally got it working after all long hours and late nights!! Proud moment!

😂😂😂😂 am not gonna push it to hard beacause the distributer is not set correctly 7 sec later she gives all the beans👩🏼‍🏭👍🏽good work😂😂😂😂😂

Just another day at the office, kicking some major ass! I'm very happy for you! Oh what a feeling Toyota!

Hooray for Sarah! Congrats on a job well done! You can tell that your automotive technology skills have vastly improved since you began repairing cars. Michael Owen stated it perfectly. Welcome back little Sara!

Great job finding the parasitic draw - it can be a pain in the ass - and nice job cleaning the idle air control valve, when you finished fixing the last bits and bobs, you'll have a great little car.

Congrats on the boosted drive! Perseverance at its finest.

Right on!! Glad to see it go down the road! Me and my friend are working on a pasat b5.5 that ended up needing a full engine rebuild. We are hoping to get it down the road maybe tomorrow or monday!

Great job! lol @ the rain...thought it was either bacon frying...or polite applause!!

Congrats on getting Mister Dos running. We have a MR2 Bear Mountain Meet in upstate NY tomorrow. Wish you can come. Perhaps next year. Save the date for mid to late sept. I'm sure a lot of the MR2 people would love to see you. I know I would.

Awesome Job Sarah!!!!! I know how it feels to get a mechanical nightmare running and driving, I have had many Dodge pickups from the 80's. Keep up the great work!

Congrats on fixing Mr. Dos. Considering that this was a non-runner with umpteen issues, you've done really well.

Good job! I’m so jazzed you got that little car running.

Congratulations Sarah, I never had any doubt you would get Mr, Dos fixed, you are so clever and persistent. In a pinch electrical splicing tape works wonders on things that leak. The trick to using it is to pull/stretch the tape and it will form around irregularities such as the intake fittings and unlike regular electrical tape it will not come apart in the heat of the engine bay. No tool box should be without a roll of it. Get the 2 inch wide tape I think you will be surprised how well it works and how often you may find uses for it. Hi little Sara, welcome back. I hope your mom is feeling better.

I am almost as happy as you are over Mr Dos being a runner now. Hope roomie Sarah’s Mom is doing well now. Not meaning to pry, just care!💖

Sweet!!!!! Sarah you finally got it running good job 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️

Congrats sarah i am soo proud of you. I follow your channel from Barbados and watching you working on this car had inspired me soo much while i was building my corolla and i too am nearing completion and cant wait to feel my first boosted car. Best regards Davidson ...

very professional everything was done the way i was taught in mechanics trades school congrats on fixing the MR2!

Congratulations I know that feeling I'm glad you got it fixed and it is running as good as it is especially with you doing it yourself it was a great video to

Yay for Mr. Dos, Sarah, & little Sarah!!!

Sounds good, looks nice, glad you were able to fix it. +2 for the stick shift as well.

In the future, if you need an emergency coupling until some new parts can come in the mail. Go to Lowe's, to the plumbing section. I learned this from Haggard garage. And had to do it once and it was actually a pretty damn high quality rubber coupling. Of course I changed it out because I can't have plumbing parts on my European masterpiece. But its a temporary solution.

Congratulations Sarah you deserve that win.

Hi from Toronto love your videos thanks and the days your put in the mr 2 congratulations at the end you get a smile later

Its really nice to see Mr. Dos rebirth. Sarah is great.

Great video. Really liked the tip on how to isolate a rogue draw. Learned something 👍🏻

Awesome you found it Sarah! Remember working on a lot of older Toyota with that type of IAC, i’d say60 to 70% of the time I could just clean them and they would work great again, I would use carburetor cleaner or the new throttlebody cleaner because they leave a film on the parts so it doesn’t gum up as well....on my Scooby snack I make sure to check and clean the throttlebody and MAF ever so often just to make sure ! The other thing I noticed on our Subaru engines is make sure you clean the PCV valve every couple of oil changes and or replace it and that helps with our oil consumption issue ! If I’m correct on Mr. DOS your mass airflow is built into the air filter cover and is a giant flap basically that is based off resistance.

That cut from the garage to the MR2!! (clapping)

Thank you for explaining the multimeter and your thought process Iin troubleshooting GOOD JOB!

Makes me miss my '91 Teg. '90's imports always have a place in my heart. Great work Sarah!

I love your genuine attitude and sincerity of accomplishment. Beautiful and cute all in one intelligent package.

Congrats Sarah! Nice to see little Sarah too.

Yay!! Well done. Been following your progress and almost as happy as you are... lol...

It's always a good feeling when everything comes together, after so much hard work. Good job!

That's absolutely amazing to hear that mr2 running the way it should. You did an awesome job!

That was awesome! Your videos are tons of fun. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Can't wait to see the MR2's progress. I've always loved those cars.

Yay! I’m so happy for you. Now if I could only get my MR2 running.

You are a bloody legend Sarah, love your work.

Welcome to the MR2 club! Recommend you keep it for a track car! Less forgiving than the TT but a lot more fun! Congrats on getting it running!

The girl is BOSS. I wish more women would delve into automotive maintenance. Carrying the battery into the parts store like any guy would do. Respect just for that.

Awesome, I can feel your excitement, and really like how detailed your videos are. I learned something new. Thank you.

Nice job, good to hear it running and idling well.

Fun fact: manufacturers use the "dome light" fuse for lots of little items. Could be half a dozen small loads on that fuse. Examples: glove box light, courtesy door lights, mirror lighting in sun shade, door ajar indicator. Time to break out the wiring diagram

That was impressive. I hate engine work so I leave that to the real mechanics, but I was really surprised. And congrats on finally being able to drive Mr dos!!

So glad to see MR Dos running and driving properly it’s been a great project to watch

Funny! I'm familiar with that crazy look in your eyes when you hit the gas and slide through the gears! I hope to have that look this spring after I rebuild the transmission (and solve some other problems) on the 1992 Celica All-Trac I picked up a few weeks ago. Bye the way, nice proficiency on your troubleshooting principles & procedures. *_TRUST !!_*

You fixed Mr. Dos!! I'm very happy for you! You're smile made my day!!! 🦁
