Does it start normal now? Or does it stall if you don't gas it? You need to tighten the intercooler hose. Or anthing between the airlfow meter and throttle body. Do that before the codes.

Well, if you blow the head gasket, and coolant leaks into the combustion chamber, and you have billows of white smoke, doesn't it make sense to have the coolant half way between the two areas?

As soon as you start any engine, the oil in the pan drops, as it is pushed into the engine. In our case, being a little over the dipstick hurts nothing. If a manufacturer takes that drop into account, it will say so on the dipstick. Something like "do not overfill".

I will point out that JJ has done extensive oil and filtration research.

I would pay 5 bucks to see that. Much more entertaining than just crushing it.

If you burn up the fusable link, it burned up for a reason.

So why didnt' this happen to new Supras then? Not starting when hot. I have seen a few ignitors stop working when hot. But a more likely cause is vapor lock. Yes, even in fuel injection.

IJ has mentioned that overheating our alloy softens it. Have it hardness tested as well.

If your car is making the water fall sound, and it wasn't doing it before, you now have a leak somewhere.

Really, then how is crank position and speed detemined? When will this nonsense stop? The pickup is inside the distributor. The difference between the GE and GTE is the GTE doesn't have a distributor cap on top of the CPS, as it has a coil pack.

Not from the factory you don't. There might be some, I dont' know where they are. The shroud moves air over the whole surface area of the radiator. It doesn't matter if it is electric or mechanical.

Stock CT, no boost controller, HKS exhaust from downpipe back, with main cat. 15.57 @ 92.3 A340E stock, upshift about 5500 rpm 2.667 60'

Abuse? It is a parking brake, nothing more. And there is nothing accursed about them. Yep. When is the last time you saw a flatbed trailers with disc brakes? How about never.

It is not a splash guard. Well, it is, that is not the main purpose. It is as CRE pointed out, for airflow. It creates a low pressure area behind the fan, so you can cool better.

Yes and no. The shorter answer is no. A junkyard housing will do. A replica is under $200. But it costs more to tune it good with something like E-man, and from what I have read, MAFt-Pro is much more flexible.

I might do your ignition mod. But I actually like the stock appearance, when it isn't messed up. Previous owners did nice upkeep on mine. So then you are also running the IPT trans? What about a converter? Higher stall?

I take it you run a thermostat after the first, before the return then? In summary, I have owned this car 3 years now. I have put 14,000 miles on it with 4500 of them being roundtrip to SILV 06. I bought it in 05. I got the HKS downpipe in 06. I got the HKS 75mm turbo exhaust in 07. I did...

You are washing your cylinders down. That is why you have the drop in sequence. Well, your tester could be magic or something. ;) A water pump that doesn't pump won't force coolant out of the radiator. That fluid takes a long time to heat up from conduction without circulation.

Considering the trans sits right in the middle, that is a decent idea.

One other thing, do you know how to focus a digital camera? It is quite easy.
