    Bogs at Idle and stalls

    You talking about the check valve? Next to last pic from the bottom: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=107 There needs to be a clear air path from the accordion hose, to the ISCV, to the intake manifold. It is important....that is, if you want a good, stable...

    how it works: Mass air flow

    Been around for a while sport ;) It is a good basic reference though. BTW - the 7M-GTE uses an AFM, not a MAF.

    Need a little help.

    Is the wastegate bracket shimmed?

    7mgte wont start

    ^^^ That's not a timing problem, it's a CPS wiring problem...common on old, brittle wiring/connectors. Suggest you pull codes and set the timing according to the TSRM (assuming there are no engine codes).

    valve springs

    Yep: http://www.compperformancegroupstores.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CC&Product_Code=975-12&Category_Code=SPRNGSI You will need 2 sets...it's actually inner springs for a dual spring set-up on a BBC iirc.

    Problem with supra not running

    No, it does not have to be started. Make very sure you jump the correct terminals...the link I posted is a no-brainer. If all else fails, take JJ's advice ;) Your spoon feed session is rapidly coming to an end.

    Problem with supra not running

    He meant "CEL"...Check Engine Light. Did you look at the power distribution fuses I pointed out in Post #13? Did you ever try to pull engine codes? Not much point in guessing until you do.

    Braided stainless hose flaws

    I've stopped using it. It's electrical conductivity and nasty habit of abrading everything it rests against makes it not worthwhile IMO.

    Braided stainless hose flaws

    A set of long handled cable cutters works well too. Just use filament tape at the cut.

    Peek-a-boo front headlights

    Reminds me of something you would see in women's lingerie...only a hell of a lot less appealing ;)

    Supra will start but wont stay running

    Sure you got basic timing set up correctly? (i.e. crank at "zero" index, both cam gears index indexed with the rear cover mark, CPS installed correctly). The #1 piston must be at TDC with all of the above.

    Ceramic Coating Questions

    That is exactly how it's "suppose" to be done...bake, bead blast, solvent wash, apply ceramic, bake. You always want the inside of the pipe and mating flanges coated. Brad quoted me correctly...not coating the inside can cause the metal to crack.

    oil questions!

    There's an entire lube section on SM ;) Read the threads before you post though...most questions have been answered. I like Castrol European Formula 0W-30 (aka German Castrol). You want to run 1 quart over the full mark on the dipstick.

    Help! USDM 550 inj. swap

    You might want to pull those injectors and have them tested. I'd hate to see you torch a piston or two.

    Problem with supra not running

    It's not working for you...it's a coincidence. All that's required is to turn the key. ;) On an EFI engine during start, the ECU selects a basic injector duration based on coolant temp and intake air temp. On engines like the 7M, a cold start injector is also used to increase fuel at low...

    Doesn't help on an EFI motor period ;)
