    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    That would be terrible! Yet very funny! The worst practical joke I've done is drip some coolant on the gound under the engine bay in random places. Did it several times over 2 or 3 weeks. He would take things apart and check gaskets, clamps, etc constantly trying to find the leak. Finally I...

    1989 turbo targa loss of power

    I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the air flow meter. If you have an extra, or a buddy that has one, swap it out and see if that fixes the problem.

    Car will not go into gear. Need some advice.

    Make sure you install the throw-out bearing properly. I've seen the bearing installed upside down and when you install the snap rings around the collar for the clutch fork it sits differently thus does not let the clutch fully release. Causing the same issue you have now. Been there, done...

    89 Turbo won't start after parked for 7 weeks

    I may have missed it, but has anyone mentioned the possibility of a bad starter solenoid? Jack up the car, disconnect the smaller wire from the starter.. then get a test light and attach it to the wire and find a good ground. Have a buddy hit the ignition and see if your test light...

    Running fine then death upon shutoff

    My thoughts exactly. I took the fuse box apart and replaced that wire with a slightly thicker gauge wire and made it a little longer than original. Best of luck.

    Running fine then death upon shutoff

    Yes, very good chance that is your problem. That happened to me.

    Rubber stopper behind turbo

    It's a 5/8" or 3/4" (don't remember which) rubber cap. Can be acquired at your local parts store under $5.

    SupraForums?

    Well, I don't think my user name was Deleted because I can still log in. I just can't do anything at all. Can't post, can't look at some threads, nothing. Oh well, I don't really care that much, just wanted to know the reason.

    SupraForums?

    Well I'm certainly glad to hear I'm not the only one in this situation. I do much prefer surpamania over supraforums. I just like to check out builds and read some of the outrageous claims and shit talking. It's amusing to me. SupraCentral - Thanks for the help, keep me posted on your...

    SupraForums?

    Greetings all. Forgive me for starting a thread about a different forum, but I have a problem. I realize I'm not exactly a "frequent flyer" either on here, or any other forum any more. I just don't have the time any more and have somewhat lost interest in my Supra project (which is awaiting...

    1988 Supra Build.. Lots of pics..

    So again, it's been a while since I've posted but here recently I've stepped it up quite a bit! Have to get ready for Indy2K10 and Chi2K10! Here's what I've been up to! That's it so far. This weekend I plan to paint the car. We'll see how that goes! (Nervous..) There's a...

    having problems with my 88 supra, wont hold boost

    Yes, I'm curious as well to see if that was actually the problem. I'm 99% sure it is, just want the satisfaction of knowing I was right :) j/k. Let us know if that was actually the problem!!

    86.5-88 tps but 89+ ecu?

    Then I stand corrected!

    having problems with my 88 supra, wont hold boost

    Check the intercooler hose coming off the turbo. Those are notorious for cracking from the heat down there by the manifold. I'll bet it split, and if you look around it, it likely has a bunch of tiny cracks in it. Either need to replace that hose (good luck finding a good one) or its time for...
