Burned out bulb? ;) Does it come on when you turn the ignition key? If you want to know more about the ignition system and the cause of no crank/start, JetJock has posted a host of info (all you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask) over at MkIIItech.com. A bit technical, but dead on.

Yes a CPS can cause this. The ECU looks for the signals generated by the CPS to fire the IGt signal to the igniter. No IGt and the fuel injectors are shut down to prevent raw fuel from hydrolocking the cylinders. This can occur while the engine is running. The weird thing is this condition...

It may lean you out some, but you'll have 2 problems: 1) the ECU will sense the increased airflow and add fuel. 2) Unless you have a Lex AFM, you'll hit fuel cut at ~12 psi Worth mentioning - if you start pushing a stock HG (especially the orginal one), you are asking for a BHG ::bhg...

You guys stuck with 91 at the pump could run a gallon of xylene (or toluene) in a full tank to boost the octane. Take a look at this thread...the formula for figuring out the octane value for the mix per gallon of xylene is in post #21. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17442

Are you getting a code 12 or 14?

Figured someone would have posted this by now... This picture shows it installed...Note the signal rotor is just past the G1 pickup. If you install it where the rotor and pickup are aligned, you are off by one tooth.

The oil pressure sensor is on the passenger side of the motor. In this pic, it's the brass colored, domed shaped unit between the oil filter housing and the water pump housing. The connector is on the main harness...it has a gray cap that covers the top of the sensor.

Look here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=TC&Page=7 You can use compressed air to test the actuator, but use very small "puffs" or you will need a new one ;)

Outstanding! Let us know how it turns out.

One other thing...don't forget to apply RTV to the top of the aluminum front plate. The precise location is in the TRSM. This has nothing to do with the HG seal, but everything to do with preventing a nasty oil leak down the front of your motor ;)

WOW! You are indeed a lucky man ;) In addition to the church check, did ya buy a lottery ticket? LOL...really glad you're ok man!

Yep...you got it ;)

^^^ Yep! That will do it! Sometimes you can save the electronics (BTW it's the optical sensor that takes the hit) by using compressed air to blow it out really well...just be careful around the wire. Most of the time though, the electronics are toast.

Awwh thanks guys! I see a lot of problems pop up on this site and I question why it's done this way or that way, so I try to figure it out ;) I have mechanical engineering from long ago in my background and been a gear head since I was a teenager. Since cars are getting so blasted...

Actually we are kinda talking about the same thing...but, you're mixing apples with oranges ;) He's talking about the stretch method of determining preload on the fastener...it requires a stretch gauge to be done properly. Stretch is measured in thousands of an inch...I couldn't find the...

LOL...Hey, they pay the engineers lots of cashola to figure this stuff out. We might as well use it. I've found doing the job to spec means you usually don't have to re-do it ;)

You should use the ARP spec on the Supra...the friction coefficient of the studs/nuts is dependant on the lube used to get the torque spec. Moly is more slippery, thus the lower torque to get the proper clamping force between the block/head.

The chassis does flex around/along the longitudinal axis of the car...it can actually be a twisting moment depending on the curve and the HP/torque the car is putting to the ground. if you read the beginning of the thread, the discussion concerns body roll. I'm not sure why you think it's...

:umno: EGT is greatly affected by A/F ratio...timing also has an effect, but not to the extent A/F ratio does assuming base timing is set correctly. If you put the EGT probe on any runner, you will be reading EGT for that cylinder alone. Most guys (including myself) put the EGT probe in...

Why not use moly and go to the ARP 81 ft/lb spec for studs?
