i think he means ISC, - idle speed control. its on the front of the intake manifold, about 2" in diameter. has a (if i remember correctly) 6 pin plug that goes into it. edit: here ya go- http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/fi/FI_106.html -shaeff

you're welcome :) and thats good to know, i got an estimate from a (reputable) local tranny shop for 4-600 for a rebuild. -shaeff

i didnt have the supra when i had my hair in liberty spikes. i drove my DD, '71 chevy c-10 pickup, lots of headroom. (and i ducked a little while i drove :() -shaeff

you're probably right, lagged, as he says he has a 2jz AFM in there... -shaeff

heh, there's an N/A a few miles away from me, sitting in a field. its got a damn clean cloth tan interior. they want way too much for it, so there it sits, and there it rots. :( -shaeff

or, post it back here so you can help others with the same problem in the future! -shaeff

check the codes, then get back to us! http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/techtip/engineerrorcodes.html (by the way, doesnt the mk4 use a MAF, not an AFM? eh, who knows!) -shaeff

first check simple things, like loose grounds. many people overlook the ground wire on the battery. without a good connection, the car wont run properly. if you confirm that all your grounds are good, then its most likely the alternator. if it is infact the alternator, DONT BUY A NEW ONE...

if you're low on tranny oil, the car will shudder like its about to fall apart. check it. if you've driven it like that, and the tranny has gotten too hot, it's time to find a new one. a rebuild of your current one after its been overheated is pointless, as it will never be the same again, and...

i broke in my clutchmasters stage III for a thousand miles before i got on it. i believe its recommended 500 miles of stop and go driving. so, to even it out, since where i live that would take forever, i just broke it in for a thousand miles (per dr. jonez's recommendations) -shaeff

this is a pic of me from like two years ago, i believe. (playing a show in dover plains, NY) i no longer liberty spike my hair, since i have a steady full time job. -shaeff

here's pics of my hackjob, cut, ground down, and re-threaded using a die from the local hardware store:

heh, i've seen maybe 3 mkiii's in my area in the two years i've owned mine. all of them were stock. i've never actually spoken to a fellow mkiii guru in person. -shaeff

x2!!! -shaeff

i love my SOGI hack job. re-threaded for stock knob, nice and short. mmmm, tastey! -shaeff

thats definately a cool idea. however, what do you think our current vendors will think of the added competition? we'll soon find out. still, think its a cool idea, as i'm always looking for a good deal on parts, (though i'm not cheap) i like fast service and honest people. -shaeff

heh, actually, my old band (now reunited) played with them in poughkeepsie, NY. it was a wicked show. we played with quite a few bands on equal vision records. more to come this summer! :icon_bigg aight, i'll load them onto my comp and see if i can send them to you somehow. :) -shaeff

i'm going to see Greenday tomorrow at Binghamton University! :icon_bigg AND, my old band is getting back together! sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! i wish i could host songs or something, i think you guys would dig us. -shaeff

wait a minute... if you have an aftermarket gauge, theres no reason to run it through the pressure sensor, you wont get as accurate of a reading. the pressure sensor is for stock gauge only. if you run a line off the back of the manifold (like me) as long as it's after the throttle body...

dr. j all the way. i was browsing through mkiii sites when i decided i kindof liked them. when i saw the brown car, i literally fell in love, a week and a half later, i bought my 86.5 for $820 off ebay, and havent stopped modding it since. also, everytime i've emailed him, he's been more...
