I am using the 7mgte sender. Maple mentioned that this problem is mentioned in the repair manual. I have looked but can't find anything. Can you please point me in the right direction? This car seems to have some kind of electrical issue. The oil pressure gauge doing this crazy stuff. I also...

Ok guys.... This is driving me nuts!! Can someone please help? I have a 1990 Supra with a 1JZ swap. Car runs great! The problem I have is that when the ignition key is in the ON position, the oil presure gauge pegs to Max. Over 120psi. This is with the engine off. I disconnected the sender, and...

Thanks JetJock!! I will do some researh... Any thoughts on what the module looks like???

Guys, I just had an aftermarket radio installed in my mkiii. I don't know if the problem is related to the radio but.... I have NO interior lights. The dash lights work at the cluster and at the heat/ac controls. I have searched here and found that the dimmer switch is usually a problem. I...

Thanks Kelson. I looked at Drifmotion. I have tons of stuff in the cart..... I just don't know if I should look for a thicker gasket after the head is machined... I appreciate the offer on the valves. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from the machine shop. Any thoughts on the other...

Guys, I just bought a 1JZGTE powered mkiii. The car had a slight miss at idle. I pulled the plugs to replace them. Unfortunately, I found the problem... The ceramic on the nume 5 plug was cracked. A pretty big piece fell into the plug hole.... Problem is.... I didn't know until after I started...

i agree... i'm an idiot!!

please help, i have a 91 turbo 7mgte. i have replaced my head gasket once before with metal 1.2mm hks. had head milled and found slight warpage in block. did not send block out because warpage was so minor.. checked with straightedge and feeler gauge as per tsrm... i removed the head again and...

Guys i've had nothing but headaches with my car..... hesr is my situation.... i replaced bhg with metal hks 1.2, sent head out to have it checked and machined, before reassembly, i went over the block with a straightedge and check for warpage tolerances as per tsrm. what i found was very slight...

i have a 90 turbo. 7mgte. i am having a problem where if i keep the idle at 2-3000 rpm, vehicle pops through exhaust when warmed up, i followed the tsrm and it led me towards an egr issue. i have done the diag as outlined and all shows ok. but when i disconnect the egr it vacuum, it smoothes...

thanks, i sure will. if i may ask one more question.... what about the hard radiator hose?? it makes it seem like the thermostat is stuck, but temp gauge never gets beyond half way??? as you can see by the time of this post... it's keeping me up way past my bed time.

no coolant from overflow. and i have not done the block test. i will have to do that and see what happens. would a warped block cause misfire/popping at 2-3000 rpm while standing still?

i have a 91 mkiii turbo. the problem i have is, if i keep the rpm's above idle, 2-3000 rpm. the car will misfire... pops through exhaust. it runs fine at idle and i notice the upper radiator hose is very hard when at operating temp. i have milled the head and replaced the headgasket with hks...

grim, i've checked all that and don't see any cracks or leaks. i am losing my mind with this car. it also seemed to be boosting on accel from low rpms. could it be the ecu???

please help. i am new to the supra and having a lot of trouble. i have a 1991 turbo, all stock. i just bought it and when the car is cold it idles well. when i accelerate to 2-3,000 rpms, engine misfires and runs rough seems to get rich, then stalls. i have checked timing and it's set to 10...
