    Bodyshop Repair Guide, Supra

    Does anyone have a link to a supra bodyshop guide?? You know, the kind bodyshops use to estimate and order parts. The kind that shows the parts spread out. The kind with part #s and prices. Anyone? I have the pages out of the estimator book, but it would be much nicer, and better for...

    Electric fans...at what temperature?

    They are run from 2 relays down on frame near the battery. They get their 'on' signal from a sensor in the high side a/c line along the Rt frame between the afm & firewall. The pressure switch is set at approx 225psi of 'highside pressure.

    Always open loop @ idle...

    Engine temp below 160* will keep you in open loop. ECU coolant temp sender reading too low can do it to. TPS can too.

    Electric fans...at what temperature?

    I run a 180* stat in the summer (6mo), and 195* for winter (better heater operation. My fans are set to come on at 190*, and off at 180*. My car always runs cool.:icon_razz

    Location of PPS computer in '89?

    I thought the electronic steering did not start until '91. My '89 just has the vacuum switch that lets the idle raise when moving the steering.

    hate this car, brakes dont work

    Reman master??? I've seen some bad ones right out of the box. ABS??? you're not supposed to bleed ABS the way you do on non-abs systems.

    bypassing the egr system

    ^ just unplug the vacuum line on TB and cap it off. The EGR valve won't open then.

    Best way to replace fitted/molded hoses?

    You can get many hoses from the after market parts stores. Toyota will have , or get you all the hoses.

    wierd vacuum problem

    Sounds like a vacuum leak, cause you didn't have the problem prior to vc gasket change. Plug off all those little ports on the throttle body to see if things improve. You may have a gasket leak, or may not have hooked back up all the vacuum hoses. Thats where I would start.:biglaugh:

    Not Starting when Hot? WTF

    You said you have spark when the problem occurs. Drive the car around until its good and hot. Turn off and wait a couple of minutes. Try to start for a just a moment. NO start?? Take a rag (for soak-up) and a wrench under the hood. Crack open the cold start injector line. (use rag to...

    Few Questions...burning oil...oil everywhere.

    How's your power steering oil level? How about the head gasket? It can be prone to leak at the front corners, as the TSRM says to use silicone there when installing it. Also, use some 'Simple Green' to degrease. A fellow today was telling me about some degreaser in Gal jug at Costco for...

    What in the world is this sound?_?

    After you stop from a 20min plus drive (all warmed up), shut it off, jump out and open hood and see if coolant is boiling over into the coolant bottle. Yes??? get a new radiator cap and try this again. Does it again ??? Then you are overheating for some reason. report back !!

    Coolant temp sensor differences between the years...

    If you dont want the cold start injector to come on, just unplug the connector to the injector. It won't set a code. Warm climates like So. Cal, S. Texas, S Fla. won't even notice its missing.

    climate control buttons

    Here is the repair from the SOGI site http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=56 I did this, and it lasted a year. The second time I just removed the littlest coil and made one from some small diameter stainles steel 'safety wire' I got from the motorcycle shop. I soldered it...

    intake

    Just make sure you plumb in air from out front, and not hot air from under the hood. Hot under hood air will drop you approx 5 hp. I ducted air from the front grill area to the K&N, and made a box around it to seal out underhood air. I felt the increase in power after the box was done.

    Lost a fan...

    Those little fans ONLY come on when the 'highside' pressure of the lines gets above like 250psi . Mine don't even come on when its cool out and I'm on the hiway, or in winter when I'm defrosting. You can run without one in the summer, if your a/c is blowing cold (45*) out the vents.:icon_razz
