    1987 supra 7mge Code 52 and 51

    Ive never personally seen a knock sensor go bad, but im sure it happens. I missed in the reading: have you tested resistance between your signal wire and ground? AKA- take the plug off each sensor, and probe the terminal inside against a good ground. If there is continuity, that means that...

    Need just a little help on a fresh rebuild

    Was the 3mm head gasket necessary for material removed from the deck surface? I would think if you were to use too thick of a head gasket, it will pull cam timing off slightly, due to the taller height between crank and cams.

    lexus afm +550cc injector mod not working. using stock AFM housing.

    Code 52 will cause a limp mode situation, since the knock detect system is compromised, and thus the engine will adjust to avoid potential knock. Not sure if this includes retarded timing, over fueling, or both.

    WTB: 1986.5 Toyota Supra parts

    Might want to try posting this in the MkIII "wanted to buy" section instead. As for part number, you can try 781801B040 But it all depends if you are 5 spd or auto. You never said.

    89+ Shine Auto JDM Front Lip Interest?

    I would love to see a bolt-on stock-type lip that extends forward about an inch(not downward). I think it would look good.

    Article: The great fuel filter myth.

    These fuel filters do accumulate dirt over time. I cut mine open, which had approximately 50,000 miles. 8ft long, and unfolded, you can see that the outer edges(which are together when the element is folded), are the only remaining full flow section.The non-translucent section is literally caked...

    Well, I took an old TEMS switch unit, popped out the guts, glued on a new ABS grainy plastic face, and fitted a rocker switch for my cutout. Looks pretty good, and of course, fills the spot as it should.

    Great job. I like the wire tuck, your engine bay looks very clean.

    USB panel mount

    I'm considering that myself, but I don't want to lose the 12v socket.

    USB panel mount

    If you don't mind cutting the shifter surround, you could place either style plug just above and to the right of the shifter hole. Otherwise, just hide the plug under the armrest.

    Where to obtain TEMS shock replacement?

    Yeah, I imagine that its a generic description of the shocks, but for the supra application, it's just three settings.

    "Box instrument panel" Original part number on my maroon is 55441-14100, and shows as discontinued. But there is a replacement number, 55441-14101, and you may still be able to get it. It says that this part number supersedes the following: 55441-14100-02, 55441-14100-03, 55441-14100-04...

    You mean the small coin holder? Probably. What color is your interior? *EDIT*- oops, I see you already answered that question.

    lexus afm +550cc injector mod not working. using stock AFM housing.

    I PM'd Cthulu, asking him to give updates. I hate unresolved threads. If results aren't posted in the threads, there's no point to using the search function, and that's why we end up with multiple threads on the same topics, and we're always yelling at people to use search.

    TPS questions....hypothetical situations. That fun stuff

    For idle, I would assume that your TB has to be set so that a set screw will hold the throttle plate open just a hair. Do you have a set screw on it?

    Can't build boost

    Hey Cartert, Glad you figured out the issue, and it wasn't the cams/ crank pulley. I would continue to check all of the vac and boost hoses/ pipes for leaks.
