    hard starting and no idle

    i got the distributor timed to the crank but the cams were off a few to many degrees. i didnt think to recheck the cams after putting the belt on and rotating everything. supra owner error

    hard starting and no idle

    thats what im talking about, i turned everything by hand to line up, both cams point at 12, the crank mark is almost between 5* and 0* after starting it. i dont know if that would keep it from idling, even holding it above idle it wont stay at a steady rpm. i noticed i had a fuel leak earlier...

    hard starting and no idle

    i just finished up a head gasket job yesterday, even after fixing a code 51 i still have a wierd hard starting, it sounds like like cranking with kinda random pausing, its even clashed with flex plate while starting a couple times. once it does start it wont stay running and has a choppy idle...

    kick down/throttle valve cable

    yup that was it, problem solved. what a day and night difference! also swapping the tps, made things worse so for anyone else that sees this, the newer tps doesnt work on the older style engines. it kept hitting the fuel cut for some reason. thanks to all for the info

    kick down/throttle valve cable

    code 41 throttle position angle, the vta pin was practically falling out of the connector, never had a drive issue other than shifting with that, amazing. for the moment i did all i can to hold it in place till i come across another connector to swap min out with. hope this works

    kick down/throttle valve cable

    opps, sorry IJ, im priting out the codes to take back with me later, i think 89 might be on to something with the tps, i never thought to check it among the rest of the electrical, in any case if mine is bad, ill just swap the spare over today and test that out. this is the first auto ive ever...

    kick down/throttle valve cable

    the line pressure cable is connected, no slack to mess things up, im not sure what the crimp on the cable is that your talking about though chip but i'll take a look after class. so jj, if thats got nothing to do with kickdown, what does?

    K&N or Spectre

    agreed any dryflow filter is much better than oil soaked K&N or spectre, i tried the spectre and had a friend completely demoslih his K&N in less than a month personally i use a Weapon R SW filter for now, hte cage around the filter might rust after a year but the filter wont get ripped apart
