Water pump, t.stat., timing belt, all coolant hoses, any cracked, hard, or brittle vacuum hoses, injector seals, spark plugs, oil filter. Get a head gasket kit. It will come with all the gaskets you need to replace, valve seals, and cam seals. Don't get the E-rip junk; get Felpro. They're...

You said you have a bhg. That's probably the cylinder its on, and the water/coolant is washing out the spark. Did you pull the plug yet to see what kind of shape its in?

Nope. You can weigh your car at any truck stop with scales, just prefer the cat certified ones. Either that, or weigh it at the track.

The copper coat stuff sprays really thin, and runs easy. When you take the head to the machine shop, you might go ahead and get a valve job to. Seems I payed around $280 for the valve job, milling, cleaning, and reshimming the cams. Remember to take them the valve and cam seals out of the...

I used to know what the flash point was for gasoline vapors.... http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/ehs/handbook/flammabl/firetech.htm "One might tend to discount the high hazards of flammable liquids when noting the relatively high ignition temperatures [gasolines, for example, are in the 500...

GVWR: Gross vehicle weight rating. The total maximum weight a car is designed to carry including the weight of the car, passengers, equipment, gas, oil, etc. Guess I need to hit the Cat scales next time I'm over that way in my 86.5

Usually on jobs like this(OH, how I love them, not), I switch over all the parts and harness from the old motor. Parts being injectors, sensors, intakes, what ever is different. I would have the old injectors cleaned and flow tested since they've been sitting up for a while. Usually the local...

Are you getting power to the coil? Maybe this will help: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=IG&P=5 http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=IG&P=9

Thermostat is stuck closed. Its easy(and cheap) enough to change. I'd try changing it first, then check the heater again. There is a t.stat called a "fail safe" that you can get. Its around $15, but fails open instead of closed. Cheap insurance. If you don't put the stock 195 back in, the...

Twist the boot to the left, then to the right to loosen up the rubber boot on the plug(may have to repeat a couple times), then pull firmly on the boot with a twist either way straight up off of the plug. If you just yank on the wire, you'll rip the wire off of the contact, and have to replace...

Here's 2 pics of how this c.a.i. turned out. I had a box I made that kept the filter in the engine bay, but I wasn't happy with how it looked or performed. This was easier, for now. I woulda got some pics of the p.s. hose, but I'm not at the shop, so I can't get under there easily.

lol. The "header thing" is the intake. The thing on the end with all the hoses is the throttle body. Here's a link: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=IG&P=6 Just take the throttle body loose, and lay it over to the side. That's one very clean stock engine and bay...

Around 22 with the A/C off. Drops significantly with the a/c on, to around 17 or so. Think its because the compressor is going bad, and putting more load on the motor. Really need to fix it :)

Code 24 is air temp. sensor signal, which (I think) is in the AFM. Try this: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=40 You could have set this code by starting the car with the AFM disconnected. Clear the code, and try again.

Check for a cracked or broken hose at the canister.

At cruising speed in 5th gear, your vibration could be as simple as a bad tire or wheel balance. Could be in the suspension(bad strut, tie rod ends, etc.) As far as the vibration at idle, if its not what CRE already said, you should visually check all the mounts. If the rubber is broke, its...

lol. Chris, you probably routed the hose wrong, and didn't put it back in its clamps. Sometimes zip ties work wonders. As far as cold air kits, I just redid mine. Used some 3" alum. inter cooler piping, some silicone couplers, and cut it to fit how I wanted it(don't butt the tubes right up...

88mkiisupra: Do a pressure test and check for leaks. It could be the heater core, and the coolant is running out of the condensation drain for the a/c. It could just be a loose hose clamp, or one not seated correctly. The best thing to do is rent a pressure tester from the local A.Z...

If you have coil packs, its turbo, and you're in the wrong section. Have you checked fuel pressure? When the o2 sensor went out on mine, it didn't trip the c.e.l. I have one of the best diagnostic machines available today, and it doesn't connect to our cars, just tells you what to jump in the...
