    I had to replace my bypass valve once but I don't remember the symptoms. I replaced it with another 1 and it ran fine. So yeah a leaky bypass valve can cause issues just don't remember what they are. Edit: I didn't replace it with another bypass I bought a blow off valve and when I installed...

    You probably don't hear a blowoff out because you don't have 1 it's a bypass valve

    I took mine for a little ride around the block. It shifted good so that makes me happy. I still need to take care of a couple of thing. The brakes are still not working right. I need to adjust my tps so that my idle returns back to 800 rpms. It idles a little high after I accelerate. Other then...

    Spotted: Homer Simpson on Craigslist

    Just when you think a 7m couldn't get any uglier, someone has to go and do this. What is the deal with the dash? People keep referencing it but I have yet to see a pic

    fresh 1jz swap missfirjng not building boost.

    Have you checked for cracks in your coil packs? Mine did the same thing only at a higher rpm. It ended up being my coil packs. Would idle good and drive good. But when I would get on it and start to build boost it would fall on its face bad. My wideband would read really lean. I do you have a...

    Won't Idle After Rebuild

    +1 on the compression test. Are you sure you stabbed the cps the right way? Can you take a pic at tdc of the cps? Do you have the wires in the right firing order?

    How to identify the culprit behind power steering problems

    Are you discounting that you may have routed the harness wrong and that's why it won't reach? Pull the glove box find the pps pins run a wire from the pin to the plug then run some power to one end and see if it comes out the other.

    How to identify the culprit behind power steering problems

    I can't say for sure that they go together, but maybe when you changed the head gasket you routed the wire harness wrong?

    Starts beautifully. Throttle stutters/stalls

    Ohm and feeler gauge. I put mine on wrong and it did the same thing. Hit 3500 and just cut out hard. I couldn't even get it out of second gear. Also once I had a stall problem and low idle. It ended up being the gasket on my throttle body. Have you checked what your plugs look like?

    Starts beautifully. Throttle stutters/stalls

    The stall seems like a vacuum leak somewhere. The hitting a wall at at 3500 seems like a tps not installed the right way. Except for the black smoke. Any codes

    Oh yeah and there is no such thing as a supra on a budget. If you are on a budget and things are tight get a civic.

    Soon to be Mk3 owner!

    I'll be honest with you these cars suck and always need a lot of work. Run away, run away, never look back. Definitely need a daily trust me I know, I found out the hard way. But if you still want one, my advise it to find a unmolested, very clean one with nice interior with a blown head gasket...

    New IS250?

    Yeah, me too. My gf wants one she really likes the current model. I told her to wait because they should be redesigning it pretty soon. I just hope it looks as good as the current IS. They've done a good job of keeping it under wraps. Has anyone seen any new pics????
