    Should I use MHG or Felpro?? decisions decisions decisions!!! need help

    That is because you are the weak link. Don't say you had it done right, because you didn't. Unless you are pushing 500+ horsepower, which that gasket was not designed to hold. That is right. All headgasket jobs will fail if you do not have a flat block. A headgasket job is not done by...

    If you want a canyon carver, start with a non TEMS car. It is just some extra weight anyway.

    Hard to start when warm, after BHG job

    I don't think it is suppposed to run constant when the car is not running. It could create a problem. Put the guage on the union bolt. You need a decent fuel injection test kit to find the right pieces. Or you can buy the SST. The gauge on the union bolt goes under the pressure regulator, as...

    how do you know if igniter is bad?

    It isn't common, but it happens. If you notice the case, it is built as a heat sink. It gets hot under the hood, and the electronics don't like a lot of heat.

    how do you know if igniter is bad?

    Also there is a code for when the igniter does not fire. 14 I believe. But that is for non firing, not a weak spark. What mods and gap?

    Star Wars

    Yoda is a sock puppet. Now he is CG, and doesn't look so hokey. Hayden is supposed to be whiney. He is an emotional train wreck, that contributes to his fall.

    Smog Failure/O2 Sensor Question

    You could have a small exhaust leak. That would make your oxygen sensor send a lower reading, indicating a lean mixture to the ECU. The ECU would of course richen it. No, it isn't peculiar to have a 3 or 4 wire at all. The extra wires put current into the element so it warms up faster...

    How bad is brake boosting?

    No, you are right Jay. It heats that fluid something fierce. A better cooler will work, but airflow will make it work even better.

    Are rising Gas Prices affecting anyone from further modifying your supra?

    Mine isn't a daily driver, so no. I only drive it in warmer weather. I cruise in the Yukon and its 13 mph city rating.

    Braking, vehicle speed, steering angle, and throttle position determine which setting the shock is on.

    how do you know if igniter is bad?

    There are some DVOM checks for the igniter. I think you should skip it, and test this way. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=IG&P=5 How about you list some mods, and gap you set it at, etc.

    TEMS firm tied to Auto trans shift points

    Your question was already answered. Aftermarket. But I am missing your question on the shift points. Shifting to sport, or having all lights on has no bearing on shift points. TPS does, and at WOT, all three lights will light up.

    How bad is brake boosting?

    There is no fixing some of these posts. I remember some airhead at the light one time. He took off, then disengaged the clutch, reved the engine high, and dumped it. The moron friends of his were all giddy. Why he didn't do that at the light will remain a mystery in the crevasse between his ears.
