yup same issue as 91 supra turbo. it runs rich, and sometimes after i start it back up, it will idle really rough, then after about 10 seconds it straigtens out. i put a new o2 sensor on the exhaust manifold, adjusted my tps correctly, timing is perfect on 10 dbtdc, what is going on. i really...

there is no black smoke, but when i look inside the tailpipe i can see black suit buildup. Gas mileage is 20 to 21 and i drive about 70% highway, 30% city. I do not smell a rotten egg smell, more of a rich smell and it burns my eyes and throat just a little

On my 7mge i continually smell the rich smell from the exhaust. I have adjusted my TPS, my timing is right on, new air filter, new spark plugs. I have no idea what is causing it to run so rich. I can occasionally smell it while cruzing down the highway but i smell it most when it is parked, and...

I have a fair oil leak, it leaks alot more when the car is still hot or just been shut off, if it sits it does not leak as much to none. The drips are coming from what looks like the inside of the tranny bell housing. Please tell me i dont have to take the engine out to repair this leak....

Will i be able to leave the Engine sitting as is and not take it out , or will i have to remove the motor?

Yet another project, i currently have the 4 speed automatic transmission in my 87, but im looking to swap it out for the 5 speed manual transmission. I dont know much about how to do this but then again i said the same thing 8 months ago when i bought this car. Since then i have rebuilt the...

Thank you AJ but yes i did check that.

I did all that, i am sure the timing is done correctly. Ive checked it numerous times with a timing light and had it checked at a mechanics shop. Its gotta be a sensor, or computer component, or maybe the injectors are bad.

I have recently done alot of work to my 7mge, and it seems as if none if it paid off. The motor was difficult to get to 10 deg. btdc but it is very close, maybe 11 or 12. But the car idles at 1200-1500 rpm and it smells as if its running very rich. I have no low end power but high end is...

I am looking for new exhaust from after the manifold to the tailpipe, i need it all, and id like it to be as close to stock if not stock. Or should i upgrade? is there much of a price difference?? and would it be worth it? also i need hydralic hood lifts to hold the hood open, both are bad. And...

hey dude, i had the post about the glowing red exhaust, you were right, my timing was really retarded. I had NO power or acceleration. I think i may have jumped time, any suggestions?

i have a 1987 toyota supra 7mge bored +.050

After rebuilding my motor, boring it out and so on... i started the car up and let it idle for a while then put it up to about 3500 to 4000 rpm to clear out the block when i noticed my manifold and exhaust was GLOWING red/orange, the pipes were all super hot but my gauges all read fine. I think...

I have an 87 na and i have been shopping for a cold air intake, where should i look? i have seen many but i am not sure which are the quality parts and which are not quality. I prefer K&N like my truck has. Also, what are some other things i can upgrade fairly easily to increase performance...

Hey man i got your post about bypassing that fuel line. Can you tell me a little more or go in depth more about what you did please?
