My Toyota Aqua 2015 model has a problem of warning light of Orange Car with an exclamation mark. I tried the diagnostic kit and it didn’t detect any codes. Hybrid battery is functioning as usual during the driving. Once I cleared the sign and again it comes back.· 2 replies
what could be the possible reason. I changed the hybrid battery 3 months back.

Question
megatron
Dear experts,
I drive a '87 Toyota Starlet EP71. I have done a overhaul on the engine (which is in absolute stunning condition now) but I seem to have a ongoing prob with the carburator. Through what I have heard the EP71 uses a quite 'complicated' carb.
The engine hardly runs when its on idle (i.e - it just runs as if its out of breath, varying the rpm up and down and then the jerks and stops). Also I've noticed that the engine runs for a couple of seconds after it has been turned off!
Now I've shown this to a couple of mechs and they basically tell me that the carb is clogged, since the EP71 has some 101 lines and nozzles. A temp clean up always works but is there any permanent solution for this?
I have my own three and I need a bit of advice..
1. Change the carb, which might be a good option, but I've had no luck finding one. (How much will one cost? if there is one)
2. One mech said that I can swap it with the normal carb... Will this work? or would it have any side effects of my cars performance?
3. Could I do an EFI conversion? (is it complicated and costly?)
Hope someone could help me!
Cheers!
Apart from this could I install a turbo kit whilst attending to my carb issue - how practical is that?
