Yea my oil pan also has a dent in the bottom of it that was there from the previous owner so I should remove and replace the pan anyways. I am losing power steering fluid and I am pretty certain it is coming from steering rack. The high pressure line at the pump looks dry unless its leaking...

I have an 89 turbo 5speed. I am currently losing power steering fluid and it looks like it is leaking right at the gear housing where the intermediate shaft connects. My oil pan also appears to be leaking. First I was wondering if it is possible to replace the oil pan gasket without pulling...

Best exhaust for the money....3" stainless....also has a removable silencer for the sound. This exhaust deletes the cat though. http://www.driftmotion.com/3-in-Exhaust-For-MK3-Supra-p/dm191.htm I personally run the blitz nurspec and love it....also available at driftmotion.com. Its a deeper...

What I meant was using the multimeter -- put one probe (or whatever they are called) from the multimeter to the negative battery terminal and the other probe to the positive cable where it connects to the starter. I wasn't able to get a reading doing this even though I was getting power to the...

Apologies for the late follow up to the thread. So I got the car running again and I believe the problem was oxidation where the battery cable connects to the starter. I unbolted the cable at the starter and sanded the loop as well as the area on the actual starter (both looked bad). I re...

Yea I think it may be the starter also because I had the same situation with my Acura TL. The only difference though is that all my interior/dash lights were still real bright in my Acura when I tried turning the key. In this case with the Supra the interior and dash lights go real dim which...

I have an 89 Supra Turbo 5 speed and after not driving the car all winter I got and tried to start it. It cranked over 5 or six times (probably a crank or 2 away from starting) and then the battery finally went dead. I recharged it and went to start the car and it just clicked. I have...

Thanks for the help guys....I'll try grabbing it through the access panel.

Quick question which I'm sure has an easy answer: My brother lives in DC while his car sits at my parents home in PA and I went to get his car inspected and needed to stop and get gas. I pulled up on the gas door release and the door wont open.......I even wedged something under the lever...

Yea the negative is disconnected while the car is parked. What do you think of the numbers my multimeter threw out?

So I did the battery draw test and it settled at 1 to .09amps after about 5 seconds and if I kept it there for another 5 to 10 seconds it stayed consistent at .02 to .01. Not sure why the reading changes when I wait 5 to 10 additional seconds. If my battery goes dead again I'm going to buy a...

I have not had a chance to test the draw on the battery as I have been working 16 hr days this week. I will definatly get to it this tonight or this weekend and report back what I find. I have had to bring this battery back to life several times so it could be shot. Like I stated before I had...

I never got a new battery.....I just recharged the one I had with a trickle charger. Tonight I reinstalled the alternator and put the battery back in. While doing this I sanded down the terminals and all connections going to the battery/alternator. I do not get any dash lights indicating the...

I decided to do a compression test the other day to check the condition of my rings and when I did this the only thing i touched electrical related was the EFI fuse under the hood and the negative battery terminal. The car started a ran for a few days after this and I parked it over the weekend...

I have an 89 supra turbo 5speed . My battery some how keeps going dead. I have no aftermarket add ons that could be draining my battery except for a sony headunit and blitz turbo timer. Also no after market alarm system. I had both the battery and alternator tested at Pep Boys and they said...

I did the compression test and all 6 were between 150 and 160. Thanks again for the help

Thanks....I appreciate your help!

I was just looking at what I need to remove for the test...it seems like I need to remove the throttle cable mount as it is blocking plug # 5....how do I hold the throttle open with this removed?

Just a quick dumb question......I know before I do this I need to heat the car to normal operating temps......but do I also remove the EFI fuse?
