Ok, one thousand lashes to CajunKenny with a wet noodle. I'm with Cy, check all your connectors and vacuum lines. For the heck of it check your codes, it might shed some light as to what's going on.

90% of the time when it's not getting up to temperature probably it's due to the thermostat. Check and see if it's opening early. OEM thermostats start opening @ ~180* F and are fully open @ 195* F if I recall correctly.

I'd start by retorquing your bolts on your subframe/suspension. That gets overlooked by a lot of people. If you've got a grinding noise may want to check wheel bearings.

Yeah, the accordian pipe is a pain, but it WILL fit (or split if it's old and brittle as Shaeff already mentioned).

Yeah, the big speed bump on going to 2J for a lot of people is also the inital cost of the swap. Even if you're starting with a blown 7M, it's still much cheaper to source a 7M than a 2J with all the bits necessary for a swap.

Lexus AFM in a nutshell: The lexus AFM is the same electronics and housing shape as the one in our Supras except for one difference: it's ~25% larger. The trick is because you're metering through an housing that's 25% larger, you match that with injectors that are 25% larger (440cc -> 550cc)...

...your local toyota dealership recognizes your voice on the phone, even if they don't know your name. ...what most people think looks like a spaghetti of vacuum lines in your engine bay actually makes sense to you and you think it's not really THAT complicated. ...you consider replacing your...

Ummmm....*cough* http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?137082-Duane-in-Import-Tuner&highlight=duane+import+tuner This is obviously an above and beyond example, but there are still reliable high horsepower 7M's out there. Build it right and it won't let you down. Cut corners or...

Just figured I'd let people know the solution. Blower motor was dead. After further inspection I could see pieces of broken copper inside the small hole where the rubber tube attaches. It was incredibly simple to replace. Here's how to do it. 1.) Remove passenger kick panel 2.) Remove glove...

From the looks of the picture you'll need a Toyota EGR cooler plate gasket. The one that they provide is a paper type and will burn up in about 1000 miles if not sooner.

I'll give it a shot but I don't think I'm going to hold my breath on it. It smells kind of like my video switch did after it got a surge of 110V through it and (before I saw this post this morning) I tested it just with some alligator clips to a battery and it had no life at all. No spinning...

Yeah, while I was waiting for a reply I figured I'd go and see if I can figure it out myself for taking it out. Completely screwed over the heads of the screws that were in there due to lack of space and proper tools, but I got it out. I'll try giving it 12V off a battery tomorrow to confirm...

So I was driving home with the defrost on and my fan kicks out. Go over some bumps and it kicks back on again. Most of the way back and it starts smelling like burning, so I turned off the fan and pulled in to my driveway. I took out the fan resistor (the usual culprit for blower speed...

Waterfall noises aren't necessarily a blown head gasket, just a coolant leak. You could have a tiny pin hole leak or hose that's just barely not tight enough that you don't even see drips on the ground. Check inside your overflow and see if there's oil in your coolant and/or crack the oil...

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks :). I've got the fuel pump readily available, just not the other pieces, so I will just wait until I can do it all at once.

I've actually still got the kit sitting on my table, going to be taking it in next week to a place to get done because I don't have the time to do it myself unfortunately :(. I can tell you though that the drill bit that they send you in the kit is ground down so it should fit inside a 3/8"...

Condensation visible under the cap is normal. If people ripped apart their engine every time you saw that stuff you'd be ripping apart brand new cars from factory. If you have a rainy day and/or live in a cooler climate, you'll notice it more often. Give the engine a good 45 minute drive with...

Mine's an 89, but I'll take a look anyways for that access panel. Didn't realize that any of our cars had that access panel. Will the walbro blow through the stock regulator?

Very nice! Glad to see I'm not the only one with leather seats all cracked up and falling away ;) lol

Just curious about installing a higher capacity fuel pump (such as the walbro) in to the stock system. Would I need to change anything with the J-tube or get a different fuel pressure regulator or is that stuff all fine until you go to a 550cc injector setup? The car's going to be up on the...
