Forum: First Generation Magna TM - TP

Well here goes. To be honest I’m really questioning myself for doing this. I have other cars that would be money better spent, but the wagon does suit my needs and it’s almost reaching the cool factor having an early survivor Magna, well in my twisted mind anyways! For some reason Mitsi seemed to...

Every morning when I try to start the car, I have to pimp the accelerator 15-20 times before it will start and then it may die again. Seem to be ok after 2 or 3 minutes but is a bit touchy up until then. I am thinking I have a fuel pump issue and fuel is draining back after I park. It is often...

The other half found a TP elite on a farm, so we now have a TP in one of our sheds. Oil and Water look OK but the damn this won’t start. It’s turning over no problem but just won’t give a Yelp ...... we are guessing it maybe the fuel pump. Any ideas would be welcomed. Being EFI I’m not sure...

TP Magna Elite, EFi won't start. Have spark, but fuel pump is possibly not working. I've followed the test procedure by applying battery 12 volts to terminal 1 of the test connector in the engine bay, and I get a two 'ticks' from the pump, then nothing. The manual says to check the fuel delivery...

Hi - looking for the rear part of the centre console for a TP Magna in dark blue colour. Happy to pay $100 for it and postage (and well packed). John

Just replaced the Idle Speed control and Throttle Pos. Sensor. And this was done by a mechanic here in B'berg. However, the issue remains as previously. Flares a little into third, and chugs from second into first. I'm moving to near Brown's Plains south of Bris. next week, does someone...

1) Anyone know where to get a replacement at a reasonable price? Or anyone have a good (non leaking )used one they'd be willing to sell me? 2) Any tips for removal? System is already completely discharged. John

On my TP Elite, have just noticed 4 tiny bubbles of paint. I broke one of them, and there's rust underneath (which was expected), but I assume this is from where the bonnet 'frame' is welded to the panel. Have never seen this on a car before. Is it common on Magna bonnets? What's the best way to...

Just got a 1985 Magna TM..... Ok where do i start....nice well maintained car owner serviced it regally....it has 244K. It drives nice really nice...then after a while it to stalls and turns off...it might turn back on or it doesn't. You can tell it s going to have this issues as when you...

I'm unable to start the old 85' TM Magna, not 100% sure it's the fuel pump at this stage, however I've been lead to believe it is (unhooked the fuel line and was getting no flow through the line when turning the key). Battery has tested fine so assume the electronic pump on the tank is having an...

Guys, Anyone have a Tm front bar cover for sale? Silver would be great but would be open to other colours. Inner Melbourne ideally. Tools

The rad. fan keeps on konking out. It's a brand new unit. Somtimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I've pulled the fan relay out, hit it with WD-40. Please advise.

Am replacing the throttle body on the TP (Auto EFI). Are there settings in the ECU that can, or should be rectified when changing the t/b?

This is just an initial post, as I haven't had time to investigate fully, but I seem to have on my TP Magna developed an oil leak from the engine pulley that drives the water pump. Is there a seal there? Which may not be there any more? Is this a common problem?

Hi First Gen team, I am moving from Perth to QLD in early July, so unfortunately have decided to sell my trusty 1990 TP Magna. This old girl has been my reliable daily commuter for years now, but she won't be heading across the continent with me. I would prefer she goes to someone who loves...

Happy to pay for it and postage if anyone has one in good/not damaged condition.

Looking for the section of exhaust pipe from the catalytic converter back to the rear muffler pipe? Have recently replaced the rear muffler, but now the resonator behind the catalytic converter has developed a hole...

The oil pressure sender needs replacement, but I can't work out how the wire to it is removed. There is a black plastic cover over the end of the switch that the wire goes into and it can be turned around, but I can't seem to pull it off the switch. Also, don't want to break it so wondering if...

Hi everyone, anyone connected to someone who might have a TP throttle body for sale?

The last r/fan I installed only lasted a couple of months. So need a new one, as opposed to a secondhand unit. What other manufacturers i.e. Datsun, Toyota etc. would have used the same fan motor?
