    Codes 41,42,43 and 52 WTF

    click the link in my sig. :) and as far as knock sensors go, they *rarely* go bad. it's usually a short/interruption/ electrical noise getting into the wiring. the good 'ol SOGI re-wire should do the trick: http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=69 -shaeff

    No Flip-up Headlight Conversion

    when i used to work at my old job (movie theater), i would turn on the fogs and running(parking, whatever) lights and as i was driving by people exiting the theater, i would flip on my lights. i always got a "wow" from that. then again, my car looks good at night, terrible during the day :(...

    ever had your car confused with another?

    heh, this one dude i know thinks he knows literally everything. he said there's no way in hell that a 6cyl turbo supra can make over 300hp. "it's just not possible, even with a turbo" were his exact words. heh, i cant wait 'til my car runs correctly, and i slap a 400rwhp dyno sheet down in front...

    SM Guitar

    loki: it was a toss up for me between a les paul and the sg. the only reason i decided to go with the SG is because at that time i was in a serious band, and the SG is WAY lighter than the les paul. that makes it much easier to do this whilst playing shows: (edit: thats me before i cut my hair off)

    cant rev past 2k rpm when driving

    from my understanding, the aeromotive unit has two inlets, and one outlet. the inlets are on the side, the outlet is on the bottom. that being said, i've tried switching the inlets already, and still get the same effect, despite the fact that my stock FPR does the same thing, and it's impossible...

    haha, that sucks, steve. i'm still waiting on those gas lines from Jay Marks. right now i'm at like 50hp. :( i'd rather have 300 than 50. hopefully i'll get the lines by friday, and have them on this weekend at some point. if all goes well... -shaeff

    Code 52

    because when there's a short in the circuit (which there frequently is because the wires are kindof crappy, and they're damn old) the ECU cannot "see" the knock sensor(s). when this happens, the ECU puts out a code 52 and retards the timing, and enrichens fuel mixture. this is considered a...

    Damn Fuel Filter(Pics)

    two days before i dropped my tank to do the walbro install, i doused my fuel filter fittings with PB Blast (i love that stuff). when it came time to pull off the filter, (on my 86.5- it was uber rusty, probably the origional filter) i had that sucker off in about ten minutes. the key here (well...

    The incurable code 52 knock sensor issue

    lagged is 100% correct. code 52 means that the ECU doesnt "see" the knock sensor(s), which means that there's one of the following problems: -short in wiring -bad knock sensor -bad connection somewhere in the wiring -(never heard of this, but i *suppose* it could happen) bad ECU -shaeff

    The supra has ended my future and my life

    post pics of the cams. i've never seen 7M cams that WERENT scored up. when i first pulled my motor apart, i thought the same thing, so i searched around, and found that it's quite normal for them to look like mine do. -shaeff
