    Trouble starting when warm

    Okay, best if its a storage scope so you can capture the waveform.

    7MGE air intake help

    I have monitored IAT during driving and it quickly goes well above ambient even with the stock cold air intake. The cause is the AFM itself getting hot from the exhaust manifold (and all the downstream stuff as well as mentioned in this thread). You would really need to insulate the whole...

    car wont start??

    I think we should proceed directly to the starter relay mod! This diagnosis stuff is overrated! :icon_sad:

    Trouble starting when warm

    My suspicion is the synthesized AFM KS signal from the MAFT Pro is glitchy. Do you have an oscilloscope that you could monitor KS during startup and then stall?

    Removing that little Trim panel?

    Lots of screws, not sure which one you are referring too. The black self-tapping ones used for the plastic panels are around 43 to 59 cents each (there are different sizes for the various panels). The plastic retainer pins tend to be around 1.85 or so each.

    Removing that little Trim panel?

    Yup, I broke that plastic tab off removing my old one. Luckily it comes as part of the new trim piece, but the 8mm nuts are separate. By the way, all those screws and plastic tabs for the interior trim are still available, I just bought a load of them last month.

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    The physics of driveshafts. The critical velocity is not just some number where all is good if you go slower than it. First the definition, the critical velocity is the speed where for any small initial deflection, the centripetral force is equal to the elastic restoring force. That means...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    True, that is one scenario, but it also can be used to coast further or reduce the change in speed as the road slope varies and so on.... but my real point was that you're "chasing a will-o-wisp". There are so many other heavier and larger diameter things in the drivetrain to worry about than...

    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    But they are incredibly different! One has chlorine and one doesn't.

    My last and final attempt at ice cold AC...Lots of pictures

    Really, who knew! There's no significant difference between dichlorodifluoromethane a CFC and1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane a HCF? Interesting, you must not be a chemist. I'll give you a little hint, only one of the above has chlorine in it.

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    My annoyance with "power loss" is that it is actually energy storage, so no power is lost, you get it all back when you slow down, and at steady speeds it makes no difference. More importantly though, as IJ states, is that it just doesn't matter unless you need 100ths of a second in a...

    Driveshaft Decision. I'm torn. Advice from experienced?

    I had no idea the driveshaft business was so full of snake oil and outright BS. Free-up horsepower, really? Does the stock DS get hot from all the HP its absorbing. Hanger-lag! How about instead fixing your worn out drivetrain so you don't have so much slop.

    Air Conditioner Problem

    Only true for 89+ (The Cygnus TSRM is for a 90). The 87-88 Turbos all had one. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291410/part.aspx?S=88454A

    Air Conditioner Problem

    99C is fine, it won't boil until 129C for a 50:50 mix at 15psi.
