Hasn't been driven at all... Didn't have this smoke when I first bought the car it didn't run because of the cps going out, so I fixed that, warmed it up a couple times and now this... It might be enough to make me get rid if it... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Is it possible when the HG was done it wasn't torqued enough and the head just lifted because I think it wasn't driven much after it was done? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Sorry I just realized the pictures were a little blurry, I uploaded them directly from my phone without previewing them first but, I think you can see mostly everything though.

Ok so I know it took me a couple of days to get pics as I've been swamped with work but I've finally got the pics and a video so everyone can see the smoke. This is the charcoal canister input hose, I put a bolt in it instead of a no. 2 pencil like the idiot before me. Here is...

Sorry its not pure white there if a blueish tint to it, it definitely isn't cool, I can get pics later this evening, but I know the charcoal canister inlet hose had a pencil jammed and taped in it, when I unplugged it all I could smell was gas, I bought a canister and started to put that back in...

So I have an 88 with the stock 7MGTE in it. I bought the car non running, and finally after replacing the CPS and putting the starter in the correct way it is running. However when it runs, the exhaust looks like a mosquito fogger truck.. The white smoke comes out in CLOUDS. So I start looking...

Thanks for the info!

I searched didn't find the answer, possibly wrong keywords, but who knows... Anyway, 88 7MGTE w/ R154, car won't go in to first grinds, spits out of gear, yada yada yada, bad first gear thrust washer whatever! Anyway, my question is this, can you pull the transmission without unbolting the...

Awesome! Kai you're the man! I knew I was looking in the wrong section. Thank you! On another note see you're a PSN gamer. Play any MW3? If so my name is the same there as it is here.

I found a link on here once before and can't seem to find it now and I'm hoping someone here can point me to it or answer the questions. What is gap specifications for the VR sensors inside the CPS? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. Also I searched the TSRM and couldn't find it...

So I took my cps out to rebuild it and when I pulled it I didn't realize I had to set to tdc and everything involved so I just pulled it. Well I rebuilt it and got it put back in and now the car starts but it idles like a big block with a cam in it, has no throttle response. So I pull the plugs...

The minerals that are in tap water will leave deposits in your engine, radiator, and can cause issues. I know you can do it and probably run to your favorite parts store and then spend the extra money for the flush again, or just save the money and catch a ride to aforementioned parts store and...

I accounted for that and added an extra 4 inches to the wire and crimped and taped and heat shrink on everything. And fortunately the previous owner had the head gasket done correctly by a shop less than 1000 miles ago so knock on wood, the head doesn't have to come off anytime soon LOL. Good...

I'm curious about how this turns out because I had the same issue and I just hardwired it, cut the plug off and connect each wire directly to each other... Does anyone see any problem with this?

I have been working on calibrating my TPS and I took the TB off last night to calibrate. Got to what I believed to be the correct calibration and drove around the block and CEL comes back on pull in the driveway to run the codes and I get 12, 51, 52, again... Ok so something is wrong...

That sucks big time! I was told by the previous owner the headgasket had been done recently... After seeing some of his backyard mechanic skills and having no paper work to prove it, I was very skeptical... Much to my surprise when I pulled the alternator to do the rewire you can see where the...

I actually just did the rewire with new wires someone had made for sale on another forum. Because the PO of the car did it half ass and didn't know what heat shrink or even electrical tape was and just left them dangling at the KS connector, I believe the culprit is this project has completely...

Yeah thats coming sometime this week... Weird thing is I disconnected the battery and let it set and hooked up the battery cart fired right up again... Drive around the block... Soon as I hit boost cel came on check it again 51 & 52 again... This is becoming a pain in the ass I hate electrical...

Yeah wow was one of the words out of my mouth lol... Would this definitely cause my code 12? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

So I found out my project mk3 I got had a bad battery so I replaced it and the car started with no issue drive it around the block and get code 51 & 52 so I read how to fix them, follow the instructions and rest the ecu and try again.... Now car won't start at all cranks for days but won't start...
