    big meet in GA in june, at atl dragway

    ^ Yep its me. I got the hoses and all hooked up on her car and got the throttle redone. The blocked off port on the side of the motor is for the heater core on a right hand drive you use that line and on a left hand drive it goes the other way all is reversed. Anyway all the hoses are on and...

    dashpot question!

    The dashpot is just there to keep the throttle from snapping shut too fast as the throttle closes it touches the dashpot, it acts like a cushion and slows it down, there is an adjustable bolt on the throttle linkage if its keeping your throttle open. Also the vac line just goes to a filter...

    Clutch goes to the floor and fluid is everywhere....Inside the car ?

    ^ Common everyone knows that cant happen in a supra. You have to have over 4000hp and launch at 5500 rpm then the ring gear and pinion gear will press together hard enough to split off a quantum particle fluctuation and the virtual pairs will reform making a primordial black hole at the drivers...

    strange misfire

    Compressions varying that much could be the cause of the problem. If it does it at idle try to kill one cylinder at a time to see if you can fine which one is doing it, pull the wires from the coils one at a time using pliers that are grounded so you dont shock the piss out of yourself. If you...

    where do i start...no spark or cel

    Check the ground wires in the engine bay. One is at the rear of engine above exhaust manifold. Also check the ones that are under the intake on the driverside to make sure they are connnected.

    Doesn't start... sometimes

    Well if you are hearing the starter click and not just the relay then its the starter or the wires. Try to connect a power directly to the stater signal wire and see if the starter works then. Mine will do this some times and if I touch the wire the starter bumps and then there is no problem...

    help!!!!!

    Go ahead and get ready to replace the bearings or the whole engine. If you have got a knock now its just gonna get worse. Go ahead and get it rebuilt before you destroy the crank.

    how many cans of paint will i need to paint my supra

    To clarify for you, it will take 2 quarts of paint + 2 quarts reducer/thinner and that will give you 1 gallon of paint. From a paint shop in town I get 1 gal premixed for around $120 then add the clear to the price. Now for the house of color paint it it can be normal price for normal paint...

    Checking spark w/ timing light

    Alot of times the light wont fire off if the car is not running, you dont get enough current traveling through the wire for the light to pick up. Also some timing lights have directional induction probes ie one side has to face plug. If your cam gears and crank pully are all on mark you are...

    This is probably the fuse under the dash for efi or something can rember what it was called, but u have 1 under hood and 1 under dash fuse that can cause this.

    Bad Coils?

    If the needle maxes when the pressure sensor vac is unhooked then it is a bad sensor or guage as it should go to 0 not to max pressure.

    coolent in oil but good compression

    I have blown 3 hgs in mk3s and only one had a low compression and leakdown didnt show up normaly it was leaking then stoped as the coolant system built up more pressure than the rings held. All of mine blew on #6 at the very rear into the coolant jacket in the back. You should be able to...

    Mine was using oil but not burning or leaking, so I thought. But while running I was dumping oil out of the front crank seal, but it did not get on the car at all for some reason the pan and undercarriage was dry. I parked on cardboard for a week to see is there was any oil leaking but it only...

    No close loop on 88 7MGTE

    I think these cars only need temp sensor signal to be high enough and the sensor to be warm and ready. Where are u getting the voltages from, the maft pro or the diag connector or from the sensor itself. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor, make sure to check that one and not the guage...

    Misfire only at low RPM / idle

    In a normal situation with all else aside if you get rough idle but goes away with throttle then plugs are bad. If it misses when rpms are up or loaded but not when idle its usualy wires. Now that is just normal situation with no work or anything else to go off of. I would check to see...
