I had a 85 MR2 that the ignitor module failed. Toyota dealer said they never sold any and at $440 I can agree. I bought a used one for $50 and was back on the road. Toyota was troubled with ignitor module failures in the 80?s and most likely into the 90?s as they did not change the design. car-part.com is a good source to find one. It should have a number on it like 89621-16020. Ken
