    Bogging at wide open Throttle

    If pressure does drop it might also be an electrical problem. I've seen more than a few of these cars where the fuel pump speed relay goes bad. One quick way to test that is to jumper the pump on (B+ to FP) in the diagnostic block and drive the car. If the problem goes away suspect a bad pump...

    Bogging at wide open Throttle

    http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=73 Check it both with and without the vacuum hose on. With hose off quickly snap the throttle wide open several times. If pressure doesn't drop more than 2 psi there's no restriction in the fuel supply. And the problem can't be...

    Heater core crack opinion

    Cores are usually vacuum brazed. That said hand brazing takes more skill than soldering. And assuming it is soldered the solder typically used for sweating tubing won't do because coolant will eat it. Especially if it's Toyota OEM coolant. Based on all that he'd be smart to simply replace it...

    7MGTE Shaky Idle....

    Either buy an aftermarket filter with adapter or put the stock air box on with a gasket and bolts. You're going to need a filter anyway. What you're experiencing is fairly common when trying to run a naked AFM. For the laminar flow screen to work properly it requires a minimum of one...

    mystery box, a little help please. pict inside...solved it is lojac

    Interesting. From it's color the battery is an older model PowerSonic. I'm guessing a PS-1270. That size battery (why would stereo boosting need battery back up?) and the type of antenna indicate a transmitter. Could be an old DYI surveillance tracker. It'd help to know the cable/antenna...

    another A/C problem

    Maybe it should be tight enough to prevent leaks? And the system shouldn't even run if it's empty. If it is you're about to be in for some very expensive repairs...

    Knock sensor

    They can't be resistance checked because unlike many knock sensors they don't have an internal shunt resistor. That said they can be roughly tested with a meter (or headphones) and properly tested with a scope.

    Ecu=no power

    Your two cents is dead on other than that circuit can actually supply more than enough power to run his stuff. The problem is if something goes wrong (or the install was badly done) it could bring the EFI system down. Better to connect to something that can afford to be lost...
