I wonder if this could be connected to the high idle problems i currently have. I can currently drive my car around till its warmed up and put it into neutral and it will idle at >1100 rpm It drops to approx >800 when i engage D or R Sometimes when i come to a stop the engine revs will...

After i replaced the rubber pipe under my alrernater last weekend the engine idle speed settled right down again. approx 750 rpm. now its shot right back up to 1300rpm cold start and 1000 rpm when warmed up. i guess i must have caused a problem by only changing the 1 pipe. perhaps its...

I had a slightly random dream last night. I was at work on a building site. (im a builder anyway lol) there was only me and one other person there. A girl who works in my local pub as a barmaid. I was building a wall (strange as im a joiner not a bricklayer) and she was mixing up mortar...

Is it possible that oil filled shocks were available for these cars in the past? just over the past 2 days the rear right hand side shocker has worn out completely. If i bounce the corner it bounces 3 - 4 times. And i noticed today that theres a load of oil coming it seems from the shocker...

im changing all my cars drive belts over just now. Thought i may aswell whilst i had the alternator off to swap that vac pipe over. But i cant see how the air con belt comes off. Is it by loosening the tensioner pulley? as ive tried that but all that happened was the long bolt started to come...

Whilst looking for various faults on my car i came across this pipe it goes under the alternator, and joins between 2 thin metal pipes. this then again goes back into a rubber pipe that goes into the intake manifold. crankcase breather?? im not too sure myself when i found this i...

whilst looking about the engine bay for a possible coolant leak (hoping it isnt bhg as no symptoms now) i managed to have a quick check of some of the vac system pipes. when i squeezed the one that goes into the intake manifold at the very front edge the engine slows to a more normal idle speed...

I triped the conectors to check my engine for fault codes due to its high idle speed, lack of getting up to opperating temp and high fuel consumption. i tripped T and E1 (prefacelift model) the light on the dash board went like this:- flash flash flash, flash, flash, flash...

First off i hate this dark night malarkey. plus working weekends ive not looked at or driven my car properly for 6 weeks now. right I had bought a new stat off toyota as the temp gauge wasnt rising to the usual position and the heater was only blowing warmish not hot. Now today i had a...

I have been up to my local dealer and bought a set of plugs (as i figured they need doing anyway) a new throtle body gasket, and since i recently disturbed the iscv and cold start injector i bought gaskets for them aswell. however. the other week i noticed that the temp gauge was not rising...

How is it suposed to work>? when i start my car from cold it is running full speed(at engine idle) and sounds very whoosy. It is behaving completely different to my van which also uses a viscous fan set up.

Has anyone managed to replace the metal lines from the auto box leading to the auto tranny cooler? basically mine look quite rotten and as i posted recently ive been experiencing a smell of burning atf even after short journeys. im wondering if they have become porous and are misting fluid...

My passneger side (drivers side to you guys) front upper arm appears to have grease leaking out the rubber boot. Has anyone here managed to repair them? or is it time for a complete new arm? If so does anyone know if these are toyota only items? and a rough idea on price would be cool aswell as...

I own a na auto supra. its developed a rather worying burning smell even after short distances of say 1 or 2 miles. im pretty sure its atf fluid. does anyone know off hand if the exhaust would catch drips of leaking atf? does it run close enough to the auto box? or should i be looking elsewhere...

i get a swoosh noise from my rear left hand side shocker. usually only over particularly bumpy roads. it seems to pass the bounce test alright. but it makes an irritating noise. im guessing there not suposed to make any noise at all? what would cause this noise? would it be a leaking shock? i...

I was wondering if all the auto boxes make a kind of buzzing sound? mine does if im sitting stationary and the engines idleing. it changes note if i go through the ranges aswell. Its always done this so im not overly concerned about it. Just curious as to what it may be anyone got an idea/...

is there any differences between the old style badge on prefacelift and facelift supras? i got a badge sent up ages ago and ive just found it lol. I went to trial fit it and it seems slightly smaller than the hollow section on the nose cone. also the clip on the back appears to be too low down...

I was driving up to meet some mates up today and jumped in the car and off i went. The car was cold from starting off. I got maybe 2 miles and had to slow down at a set of traffic lights. Car was creeping along at this point. I was looking about and checked my phone for txts quickly. Looked back...

Guys i may be in the market for a new set of ht leads. I replaced mine with a standard set about a year ago but they seem to be chaffing on the underside of the bonnet (hood) and 2 have almost worn through. I guess they need to be slightly shorter has anyone got any recomendations? and...

I have slight play in my left side front wheel (passenger side for me as im in the uk) the play is evident only if i hold the top and bottom part of the wheel. no side to side play at all. could this be the wheel bearing? or is it more likely to be the top ball joint? i couldnt see any movement...
