Thanks for this response. Im going to check these things.

I just finished building the car. i bought it knowing the car did not run. I'm not trying to drive the car I'm just trying to eliminate the problems a couple at a time. Its getting spark but do you know why the injectors would not work? I can't find any blown fuses and like i said the leaks are...

I recently had a no fuel problem and replaced the fuel pump. Now the fuel is pumping up to the (what i think is) fuel pressure regulators (2 of them) that are on the fuel rail and leaks out there. (a decent amount leaks out but not terribly much). i would think there would be enough fuel to get...

Yep it was the battery. it needed a long deep 2 amp charge and now i can get all my lights. i'm going to try starting it tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to help out (3p). I really do appreciate it.

ok. i will try charging it and will also try a load test. thanks for this info. i never would have know about these noise filter caps.

It did not start or drive.

To anyone that might be of help. I just finished reassembling my engine and droped it into the engine bay. Everything is wired up and ready. So i go to turn on the ignition switch just to see if i would get any lights and/or instrument cluster to power on and i got nothing. So i put a...

Nor should you ever get rid of the prelude, there a sweet ride and i'm no hater. I have a project MKIII and its a tight runt to work on but should rip when complete. Welcome to your new addiction.

Also your mods lists you have a ported and polished head with a new gasket and ARP bolts...... You might have to look into the posibility that the valve springs ( assuming their old or even origional ) may be worn to the point that their causing valve float at thoes rpm's. You can hear your BOV...

Also check out EASTWOODS AUTO MACHIEN in sommers. They did a complete engine build for a friend of mine and it is rock solid. I spoke with the people there and they have worked with a number of Supra engines. They seem so profesional and are so nice. They don't even swear when their cracking...

When i see a broken down supra on the road i always try to stop and help no matter the generation. One day recently i was working and had to pass a broken down mk3 on Interstate 84 in east hartford. I couldnt stop because of my job. The supra was a real clean baby blue with what looked like a...

If your mech can bench test the starter then you will know if its good or bad. it sounds like an electrical problem and its most likely the ignition switch. they tend to work intermitently and soon they will leave you for death in a parking lot somewhere. Get that ign. switch checked soon before...

It definately would be a problem if your o2 sensor was not working but did you get the car tested with a trouble code in the cpu? Also the shop that tests your emissions would probably clear the code if you asked them to before the test right?

Can anyone recomend a good machien shop to resurface the head and engine deck on my 7mgte. I bought the car with a blown head gasket and im looking forward to quality work with a shop that uses quality parts. Im in the hartford area.

Most head gaskets are good but you should be sure the head and deck surface of the block are completly flat or the head gasket will blow again. The est thing to do wold be to get a good machien shop to overhaul the entire block and have them put the bearings in for you.
