The driving force of this sports car's ignition sequence is the Toyota MR2 Starter Solenoid that connects battery power to the starter motor and at the same time pushes the pinion into the flywheel. The Starter Solenoid acts as an electromagnetic switch. It receives a small electrical current from the key switch. Thus, the Starter Solenoid snaps heavy contacts closed. A much larger electrical surge is sent through. This surge spins the motor until combustion takes over. Due to the internal one-way clutch, the Starter Solenoid also retracts as the driver releases the key, hence there is no engine back-drive. During the life of the compact coupe, two main types have appeared. The first was the Bendix type, which relies on the inertia of the pinion for engagement. The second, and now standard type, is the plunger type in which the Starter Solenoid mechanically pushes the gear outward for faster, surer engagement. The main difference is control. With Bendix, if the engine abruptly stops, grinding sometimes occurs. But from the second MR2 generation onward, a plunger-driven setup is applied where electric contact and gear movement are one sealed unit. This minimizes wear and enhances reliability. Maintaining a Toyota battery healthy and terminals clean ensures the Toyota MR2 will fire up instantly under its Starter Solenoid's watch.
