    Rod Knock??

    I know Ive searched but I couldnt find what i was looking for. I know that the typical rpm range where rod knock is audible is between 2500-3000 rpm and the car makes the sound both in nuetral and while in gear.

    Car goes completely dead

    Alright, the probs with the supra keep popping up now that I have it on the road, but I figured that would happen anyway. I was driving the car around town, and was having zero problems.
