I 'by-passed' the coolant feeds into my throttle body about 4 months ago. I just pulled the hoses off it, and put them together with an 8mm (5/16") brass pipe and hose clamps. I did it to have a 'cooler' throttlebody for cooler air intake. I like the performance much better now. If your...

I've been running mine by-passed for 4 months, and right away it seemed I have better throttle responce. Cooler intake air. As we get into fall weather, it feels like I have 20 more HPs in the early morning.

Its up to you. You could always experiment with the position locator pins in the stock gears to change valve timing.

Are you talking coolant leak?? cause there is no coolant for the egr cooler. only air. If you are talking exhaust gas leak at the cooler, you can remove the cooler cover and then clean everything, then just reseal with FIPG. There's just not much pressure in the cooler to worry about...

Sad.....but fotunately 9 outa 10 pulleys come off using a couple of large screwdrivers to get it started. I've done about 50 supras and 20R & 22R (Celica and trucks) motors that way. I actually only had to use a puller once.:love:

interesting read... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra "All four generations of Supra produced have an inline 6-cylinder engine, one of the few known piston configurations which is perfectly mechanically balanced, leading to very low vibration from the engine. 80k on the bottom...

Tire un-balance problems show up around 55mph. They send vibration into the steering components. It could cause the shift lever to vibrate too. You can jack up the car and slide under to see the trans mount. There should also be a rubber stopper that will keep the trans off metal parts...

When the temp is cold, the silicone gel inside thickens up, and fan turns alot. When radiator warms up, and warm air warms the gel, it allows fan to slip. When radiator gets real hot, a valve in the fan clutch closes off a passageway inside, and fan pulls alot of air. Idea of fan clutch is...

wipers...could be a bad ground (seen it a few times), which does not allow enough current to flow. washers...have a friend turn them on while you use a neddle to put into the little holes which can help clean them out. When the hose is not hooked to the nozzles, there is not a lot of...

I ALWAYS remove them by punching a hole in them with a hammer and sharp punch. If you can't get a hammer close in, then use a "ladyfoot" (tool store or truck will know what they are), and a hammer. Then pry out. You can also use a dime/nickle size flat punch, and knock in one side, which...

Sometimes I don't understand why people can't just RTFM. It's all in there! On Forums for companionship! Already on computer, so go ask somebody else. Too cheap to buy $15 owner's manual. 1k reasons........... blah, blah, blah, yada yada. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

AND.....you can have 150psi readings, and still be blowing blue smoke out the tail pipe !! How can that be(you're asking quietly inside your brain)?? Because the 'oil rings' can be bad (stuck or worn out). It allows a larger film of oil to remain on the cylinder walls, and can actually...

doubt that it warped. intake side is cooler. I've never heard of such a problem.

^^(up there) "Im getting very familiar with the car now, and Lucy and I seem to have reached an understanding. She must now sense that she is in good hands. I think she just might be warming up to me. Its gonna be a while before I trust her, but Im hopeful!" Hey Ricky, Lucy wants you home...

also, the switch inside the door, built into the lock, may be bad (cause your car is acting bad)

sounds like you might be talking about the a/c belt tensioner pully. if it is, you can replace it easily for about $30

Tis very true. We did not know then about poison gas making. I once knew a fellow mechanic that was standing at the back of a running car with an a/c hose leak. He suddenly fell down. Turns out (after hospital) that he had breathed in some poison gas. The leak was right in front of the...

your sig picture is TOOOOO WEIRD !!! causes motion sickness:biglaugh:
