About 1991 Toyota MR2 Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota MR2 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota MR2.

  • Should my MR2 be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your MR2 has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to. Bring your 1991 Toyota MR2 in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Answers to Toyota MR2 Alignment Questions

  • What can knock my Toyota MR2 out of alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your MR2 need a wheel alignment?  Check your MR2 owner's manual for Toyota's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Does getting new MR2 tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your MR2, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

Questions About 1991 Toyota MR2 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my MR2 turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your MR2 testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Toyota MR2 making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota MR2. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Toyota MR2 engine?  Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon.

Frequently Asked Toyota MR2 Tire Repair Questions

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your MR2 until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do the tires on my MR2 keep losing air? Tire punctures, damaged wheels, and leaking valve stems are possible reasons for your MR2 tires continuously losing air.

Commonly Asked Toyota MR2 Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Toyota MR2 battery hold a charge?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my MR2’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your MR2’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your MR2, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

1991 Toyota MR2 Oil Changes

Toyota recommends having your 1991 Toyota MR2’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your MR2 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1991 Toyota MR2 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota MR2 oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your MR2’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your MR2's engine.

1991 Toyota MR2 Oil Change Questions

  • Why is my Toyota MR2 oil light illuminated?  Your Toyota MR2 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota MR2 oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota MR2 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

1991 Toyota MR2 Tune-Up & Engine Service

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your MR2. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota MR2 engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your MR2. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your MR2's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your MR2: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1991 Toyota MR2

  • Will it hurt my Toyota MR2 to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota MR2 mean? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota MR2 fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 1991 Toyota MR2

During the first few years you had your 1991 Toyota MR2, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your MR2 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Toyota MR2, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your MR2 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

1991 Toyota MR2 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Toyota MR2 bouncing so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota MR2 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my MR2 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MR2's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Convenient & Local 1991 Toyota MR2 A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 1991 Toyota MR2 A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1991 Toyota MR2 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1991 Toyota MR2, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 1991 Toyota MR2 A/C Systems

  • What’s making my MR2 A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your MR2’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my MR2’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your MR2 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Transmission Services for 1991 Toyota MR2

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your MR2’s performance. 1991 Toyota MR2 transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota MR2 transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or discover that your MR2’s not even driveable. Our technicians are trained to service 1991  Toyota MR2 transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

Questions About 1991 Toyota MR2’s Transmission

  • Does my MR2's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Toyota MR2 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota MR2? Yes, your Toyota MR2 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your MR2 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota MR2 if there is a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your MR2 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

Radiator Service & Repair for 1991 Toyota MR2

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1991 Toyota MR2 is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota MR2’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, your 1991 Toyota MR2 is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Common Toyota MR2 Radiator Questions

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What is causing my MR2 to overheat?  Your Toyota MR2 engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • What can cause a MR2 radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your MR2’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
