hotness, im loving it

thank you. as for everyone else that replied, my valve covers aren't leaking, they have fresh gaskets in them, its the most obvious first place to look and i'm sick of smelling oil burning off of my block while driving my car.

I read http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/mkiii-supra/7527-got-oil-on-top-of-your-spark-plugs.html after finding large quantities of oil on my #1 and #2 cylinder spark plugs when I was pulling them yesterday and decided to get rid of the #3 cylinder head cover and convert the hex bolts into...

yeah i can read the TSRM heh, i know the main relay and circuit are fine as well as the ignition swich and circuit because i just tested them recently. i guess i have to rip out the ECU and test that, going to see if the code clears first then see if it comes back again tomorrow and go from...

More Updates: 1) Power band steadied for the most part after playing with the timing a bit. 2) Car threw a code 41 and the harness side of the tps was obviously not being held in spot because the clip was broke so i fixed that. 3) Car develops a seriously aggressive idle like I have the meanest...

OK updates: 1) timing set to 12deg 2) checked ACIS for sticking, didnt take manifold apart just moved it around with my hand, lubed it up alittle 3) fixed exhaust leak 4) found oily residue in upper intake manifold 5) had code 22 but took care of that i haven't noticed a change in the idle...

yeah i got it thanks, timing set to between 12 and 15 deg BTDC and i'm still having the same problems. i believe its the cat blocking my exhaust flow if its not the timing. but i did get a nice little acceleration boost from it. i have been getting fumes that smell like fuel from time to time.

i thought i knew my way around the TSRM, but have never and cant find anything that relates to adjusting timing for some reason.

another thing is, i use the E3 diamond fire spark plugs. has anyone had a bad experience with them, i've only read good reviews, but if its these plugs i will switch to ones that need to be gapped.

checked it today, both cams were aligned properly when the crank was at TDC, i'm too poor to buy a timing light right now and my boys don't need them with their cars. I did check the plug order and i believe i mixed two wires, so i did the sequence over. I havent warmed the car up yet to see...

I was thinking about giving it to my circuit theory professor to fix up real nice for me. Hes 70,000 years old so he will love it.

Hahaha i'm not going to throw it away, I would like to refurbish it and see what it can do. seems like a nifty find that I found.

Check this thing out, seems like it sends and receives Morse Code signals. Anyone know anything about these? I have a photo of some sort of engraving it has on it. I cant really make out what it says with my naked eye so I'm in the process of enhancing it.

lol i would never use those to rotate the crank. will be a couple days before i can check it out,.. supposed to snow and i have no auto shelter!

How would you determine if the timing belt "jumped a tooth"? Would it be setting cyl1 to TDC and seeing if the marks on the cam gears line up with the marks on the timing belt?
