Well, it's good the problem is gone but you treated the symptom and not the disease. In other words a hack. I dunno what that guy is talking about concerning UK cars but there's no inherent design flaw in the USDM starter circuit. He also demonstrates a limited understanding of things...

Funny thing is I don't have a lot of older friends. I could count on one hand those older than me. Most are much younger, especially the women. In fact I have a little business on the side that involves being around beautiful young women all the time. It's a tough job but someone has to do it...

Oh, so now I'm old? One foot in the grave? Gracias amigo ;) Nah, not my style. Besides, man does not live by performance alone. If that were the case I'd buy an Ariel Atom and go out in a blaze of glory ;)

Meh, if you've seen one you've seen them all. Ok, here's mine and here's a friends polished one. Talk about a lot of work...

I understand. I meant too much reliance on the online version. Forums are helpful as long as one can sort through the often massive amounts of misinformation. That can be a chore for those not knowledgeable. Boils down to a catch 22.

Hmmm. I dunno. Between here, mkiiitech, and a bunch of other forums I deal with on a range of stuff not supra related it's doubtful I'd have the time. Job gets in the way too. I'll try though. Fwiw I disagree about the TSRM. It's one of the best manuals I've ever seen for a car. Imo there's...

Funny, mine goes down on acceleration ;) CRE: He's been told many times but chooses to ignore it. It's why even though I know the answer I ignore him too...

Lmao. Now that's just cruel ;)

Lol, tis true. I'm still chewing on this part: Hows that work?

Well, that would work except I own other cars. Everything from classics to other family cars and motorcycles. I have only so much room. I pay enough to the state and insurance scumbags to keep them all as it is. Besides, the Supra has served it purpose and there are better cars out there. After...

As I said I'm not too serious about them at this point. I admit to liking the styling but that's about it so far. There's others out there I'm looking at. Vettes for example. I'm probably too cheap to buy one though and I'd prefer to avoid the stigma that comes with driving it even though I've...

Unless he's doing it with the oil cap off I don't see how water could get into the engine during a wash down. Besides, there's water in the oil lots of times. Condensation for example. Hell, the main byproduct of proper combustion is water. Good thing most of it vapors off when the oil gets...

That's mainly what it's about. I bought the car only because a job I'd taken at the time offered a $600/month car allowance in addition to salary. That was serious money in 1987 and I saw a way to get a new car for "free". Any car would have done but in a weak moment I bought this one. Otherwise...

I dunno. I have a plan but things don't always go according to it. Probably in the next year or two. All depends on what goes wrong with it, how cheap I'm feeling at the time, and what comes out that catches my eye. Currently leaning towards a new Z but not too seriously. Truth is I usually have...

Makes sense SS500. The listed add ons for mine are Cali emissions (no charge), power driver's seat ($210), ABS ($900), and floor mats ($72). Freight and handling were $225. I made them throw in the factory cover and manuals for free. Hard to believe it'll be 20 years in a couple of weeks. Seems...

Fwiw the sticker (I'm looking at it) on my car was $25,217.41, bought new in Los Angeles in June 1987. That was the total. The MSRP was $23,810.00. Since I paid cash and didn't let them jerk me around I got it for less. I know the price went up for later model years. I'm guessing Vettes were...

No problem, I'm 50% French Canuck myself. You didn't say if your hard start was hot or cold. Since each can be caused by different things I can't offer much advice. For hot starts it could be simply because the VSV is, as you said, broken. It could also be high fuel pressure, loss of rest...

I'm not here to make friends. Already have plenty. I'm here to offer tech advice. For that you're welcome and I hope it helped. You might want to Google voltage drop testing and learn something that could've resolved your frustration long ago. Ask if you need more help but don't expect hand...

All this stuff is already on the forum so you might want to search. For example code 51 has been brought up often. Too often. Also if you don't have a service manual you need to get one. The big port on the rear of the TB should connect to the valve covers. The others are the small ones on...
