Hey, if the speedo cable is in, but not all the way, might this cause idle issues as well? I only ask because when I swapped out my dash, I don't think I got the speedo cable completely in. It works the speedo, but I can here it squeaking. The noise makes me think that it may not be inserted...

Okay, I found the original idle issue cause, the number 5 spark plug wire was pretty much gone. It was cut/burned almost all the way through. There was one wire left. The wire was shorting out on the throttle body. So now she idles great, with no miss... except for the RPMs. They are at...

Follow ZoomZoom's advice. Remove the alarm via the instructions in the thread he listed. I had this exact problem on sunday. 30 mins later... no alarm, no problem. I just grounded the blue wire with the orange stripe to the steering column. The box you are after is right above the steering...

Well I got her home. I will have to look around for some of the video of the drive... really loud!!! Today I was bored and thought that I would clean her a bit. One thing led to another and now most of the interior is out of the car. That allowed me to really inspect the rear hatch and seat...

Okay, when I went home for lunch, I pulled the cover off the supra and ran the code check. I got code 43. Diagnosis * No "STA" signal to ECU until engine speed reaches 800RPM with vehicle not moving. Trouble Area * Ignition switch circuit. * Ignition switch...

I didn't have a chance to check for codes yet. I didn't get home from work till late last night so car stuff was out of the question. I will try to check codes today and see if I get any.

Well, that is the inductive(??) lead for the timing light. It is attached to the #1 spark plug lead in the video. I can't imagine that the wires would be bad... they looked great at the junkyard...:icon_razz I will look for new wires with the next paycheck and see if that helps. Anybody have...

Okay, the supra is idling low, like 5-700. No surging, it does not seem to stumble on accel. Power seems decent, it is a stock 7MGE after all... It doesn't idle, it burbles. Anyway, I decided to check the ISC, everything specs out with an Ohm meter per the TSRM. I haven't checked the TPS...

Yes, the car has tags, but they are out of date about 7-8 months. This will work out just like any other of the cars impounded daily in the state. The title will not be a problem. It will cost me about 100$ to get it done. I have a friend who helps out with it. I do need to wait a couple of...

here in this state, if a car has been left sitting on apartment property and the owner has been given notice, the car can be towed at the apartment managers discretion. That is how most of the cars at impound auctions end up there. I did it legally, I left contact information with the...

Got the MkIII moved to the house this past week. Should make the little stuff that needs finished easier to get done. Since I had an empty space, I decided to fill it... Well, added to the herd again today... After several unsuccessful attempts to obtain a P-Type, luck has sought to...

Hey, all you 'taillight-cover-haters' his MOS maybe a truckdriver, but every Marine is a rifleman first... :biglaugh: Sorry to hear about the loss AND the find. Hopefully, man you can pick up what's left and carry on. Keep an eye on craigslist. Every once and a while something will pop up...

Yeah, 9 bucks. Local Pull-a-Parts. They are strange, sometimes you walk up and they floor you with an unbelieveable price. Other times you walk up with the same part and they rape you. I wish I could figure out the pricing schedule. Last thing I bought there was used fuel injectors... 1.50$...

If you have an 87, and aren't concerned with adding an airbag, look for any 86 to 91ish Celica GTS. Most of the GTS interior is directly swappable with the supra. I cleaned one out at the local junkyard. Here is the celica steering wheel in my 87 supra. I have no airbag, but the car...

Okay, spent some time with the supra this weekend. Got the old dash pulled out and the new one installed. Not much progress, but it is something. Also got a line on a couple of other supras that might get picked up soon. Anyway, I took some pics of the change out. Not like putting in a new...
