    failed smog in CA

    Won't hurt to check the sensor I but doubt it's the culprit. Not only does that level of richness fall outside the default condition, the sensor doesn't have that kind off authority even when it's working. The engine for sure isn't in fuel control though.

    Castrol 20W50 Syntec Blend in 7MGTE been running fine no problem

    Damage is a relative term. Don't worry about it. Just don't run that stuff again, especially during the winter you have up there. Anyone who thinks there's no solid evidence about this should join the SAE. It's amazing how some people seem to think internal combustion was invented yesterday...

    failed smog in CA

    Driving, octane, or a new converter isn't going to fix that. The car is broken.

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    I'm a dynamic figure often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas and manage time efficiently...

    You need smarter friends. Much smarter. In this case I would trust a mechanic that isn't yourself. And stop driving the car. What you have is a serious fire hazard in multiple ways.

    Race Ready 7M Code 51 Now 32

    Code 32 has nothing to do with the ISCV. If you have a GTE it also has nothing to do with the AFM. I'd have thought during all this time someone would have pointed that out...

    failed Emissions

    ^ The fact he's being tested for NOx indicates a loaded mode protocol was used. I believe Ontario's Drive Clean Program (which Toronto falls under) employs ASM. Course, I could be wrong...

    check engine light mod?

    What he said. Probably the easiest way to do it is: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=52 See connector "d"? The blue one showing only pins 5 and 8? It plugs into (or did plug into) the back of your gage cluster. Connect the lamp across those two....

    Ugh. Typical hack job done without using a mandrel. Bashing it on the counter top was funny though...

    Remote mount oil filter and what about a cooler?

    A simple thing to remember is with any cylindrical shaped filter the direction of flow, regardless of the medium involved, will always be from filter element's outside diameter to it's inside diameter because the outside diameter has the larger surface area. Flow in the opposite direction would...

    Quick question for you guys that know about the mk3 charging system/alternator

    You put a GTE in an Ovlov? Talk about twisted... B is the alternator's output. It needs to end up feeding the battery via a heavy gauge wire. S (Sense) can also go to the same place or somewhere that connects to car's main power feed. Better is to run it into the dash so the system will...

    Any good advice on A/C testing? 87 7mge

    Three years without refrigerant is bad news. Even if the system worked now I wouldn't expect it to last long unless the shop went above and beyond the call of duty. Anyway, look at the front of the compressor where the clutch is. The part at the very front which has the belt on it spins...

    HELP! Broken switch, need replaced asap!!

    If the connector is busted off know it doesn't do much except help start the engine and even then only in cold weather. Lots of people run without it. If it's leaking coolant just plug the hole with something. I forget the thread size but hopefully someone will chime in with it. Hell, even a...

    HELP! Broken switch, need replaced asap!!

    This thread gets more painful by the minute. Look here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=8404&P=1 Is the part you're looking for item 89462 in the picture? If so click on the number. Magic eh? If the car was made prior to 8/88...

    Uh, I meant where it exits the firewall into the engine bay. Maybe you should just take it back to the shop that charged it...

    Coolant filter pics

    I'm 99% sure it's non-SCA but you could call or email WIX and ask. They've always been responsive to my inquires. Frankly I prefer Donaldson over WIX for this application but the Donaldsons are a tad on the large size...

    Coolant filter pics

    Last I checked the 4071 has SCAs. The 4070 does not and never has. You can cross reference it to be sure but you should be OK. Does it rattle when you shake it? Edit: Just checked and you're good to go. Since Napa is rebranded WIX if you put a 2 in front of a Napa number you get the WIX number...

    Any good advice on A/C testing? 87 7mge

    Meh, just measure the temp of the suction line where it exits the firewall. That way you'll know if it's refrigeration or a ducting/damper issue. Like meta I'm betting on a refrigeration problem though...
