Like many others, the wiring on my Supra sucks! The wires are brittle and connectors are breaking or completely broken off! Especially around the thermostat housing. My cold start switch and ECU coolant sensor plugs are in horrible shape. The coolant sensor plug kept falling off causing CEL...

Haha. I've seen many threads stating that if your car doesn't want to start just get out and shake the CPS wires. And sure enough it worked for me!! lol. Mine is leaking oil through the shaft pretty bad and the wires are not in great shape. Bought a second CPS from a member here and...

Finally got around to fixing my check engine light. Previous Owners fix for CEL on was to take the bulb out!! WTF!!! Sure enough as soon as I took it for a drive the CEL turns on and its a Code 52. Which i'm not suprised because the Knock Sensor was unplugged when I got the car. I'm...

One thing after another on my supra! :3d_frown: Got to love it! I recently had a friend install a new receiver dryer and a couple cans of R12 and it worked great. But yesterday when I drove my car around a little I noticed that my compressor was leaking oil out the front. It sprayed the...

I've been trying to get all the leaks fixed on my 88 Supra. Recently fixed Cam Seal oil leak. Looks like the O-Ring has fixed the CPS Oil Leak. Today I was able to fix my exhaust leak. All 3 bolts on the turbo elbow were loose and a bitch to tighten. One of the nuts was fused to the stud...

Well i've been trying to trouble shoot my Supra starting issue and thougt I would post on here for some help. Here is the situation... I got back from a week vacation and decided to take the Supra out for a spin and it started fine. Drove it to the store and no sign of any issues. I...

I probably already know the answer from searching around the forums. But I just had to vent a little I guess. I have been trying to chase down all the leaks in my Supra. It has leaked every type of fluid their is. First injector seals were bad, then cam cover gaskets leaked oil, then...

I need some help determining what is unplugged below the intake in my 88 Supra Turbo. It seems to be some sort of sensor. I also have some spliced wires that I would like to know what they are for and why someone would have done it. Sorry for the blurry pics... Here is the sensor that...

Well I finally got time to work on the Supra and got my Brakes and tail lights working properly. I had to buy a Minivac Brake Bleeder kit to get all the air out of the system after I replaced the master cylinder because I wasn't getting any fluid out the rear calipers. But now thats all fixed...

I've been trying to get my 88 Supra running and back on the road. It had been sitting for a very long time. I now got it running but I am unable to drive it because the brakes are dragging pretty bad and the Antilock light on the dash is lit. I'm guessing the rear brakes are seized. I don't...

Thought I would start a build thread since the other post was in the introductions area. Figured if I started a build thread I could ask some technichal questions and get more advice. I basically found this Supra sitting in my brothers neighbors garage. It was burried behind boxes and...

I either don't have the right tools, right technique, or am just an idiot!! But I have such a hard time with those damn pinch clamps!! ARGHH!!!! I was working on my Supra thats been sitting for a long time and just finished changing the injector seals and decided to change out the radiator...

Hello, my name is Carlos and i'm pretty excited about my new 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo from my brothers neighbor for $1500. It had been sitting in his garage since 2001!! It looks to be in pretty good shape. Paint just needs to be buffed out. Interior is original and showing its age. Leather...
