    No Electricity. Please Help, Im out of Ideas

    You have a direct ground, aka short to ground. Check the wire on the alternator itself. The insulation wears over time.

    You need to pull the EFI fuse.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    Tonight after 3 years of ownership, I finally "baselined" the car. I did what I thought it would, only better and worse. I turned 15.5 @ 92. I figured stock should run 15.5 @ 90. I have the exhaust and downpipe, so a few more mph is expected. But it was in a 10-15mph headwind. I don't know...

    VTA-E2 Voltages/Resistance

    I didn't ask, just assumed he did it. Goes to show why you don't assume. :biglaugh:

    Where the hell are you guys finding rc injectors for 300 bucks?

    Mine were $700, but they came with the bigger AFM.

    Or reduce the weight of your car for free. Way over priced.

    Post what makes your Supra unique, i.e. Custom Parts / Fabrication / Rare Pieces?

    Mine isn't unique, in that I am following what somebody else did. My biggest "mod" is in the maintenance department. And it is going to get bigger. I am glad my car looks like it did when Toyota built it. Borhor; your wheels are too big for your tires.

    AC Issue

    I am a tech. And dishonest mechanics are quite rare in my 10 years in the business. I know of one who claimed work he didn't do. Yes, he was fired that day.

    VTA-E2 Voltages/Resistance

    Did you consider the source? The one who came up with the 12 volt mod( I think) did it to eliminate a stumble when it switches over in high horsepower situations. Modded cars at elevated levesl. There is no other reason to do it. Something else besides pirate air, or false air, is oxygenated...

    Oil Burn - What could possibly be the problem?

    So he told you the rings will never seat now? Just curious.

    Speed Density

    You were told correct. Keep in mind, we don't have mass air. For example, the Karman Vortex has no way to account for humidity. The hot wire does. Speed density requires changes when you make changes. What is good is the MAFT-Pro system devolped for us is user friendly and is adaptable. It...

    AC Issue

    That makes no sense to me. The more time it takes, the more $$ is charged. :icon_razz

    Oil Burn - What could possibly be the problem?

    How much oil are you burning? A new engine burns more oil than a broken in engine. A well worn engine burns more oil than a not so worn engine. All four stroke engines burn oil.

    Question for targa people.

    No, they are ugly.

    About the CT26

    Thanks JJ. I know the pickup point on the CT changed also. I don't know how much effect that has on the response, or even if that is an 89+ part. The actuator is. There is always the aftermarket, and a stiffer spring.

    Problems with AFM connections

    Did you read what the 14 is? It tells the engine control unit that spark is not being made, so fuel injection is shut off. I would concern myself with that first.

    About the CT26

    Actually, it is. Flying by the seat of your pants is a pilots term, because many still say it is the best indicator. To be used in conjunction with gauges of course. :) Dubs and JJ can comment, maybe I am wrong, but I don't think so. To the subject, HP only went up 2, but torque went up...
