    do i have to pre gap these spark plugs?

    A feeler guage is a good way to ruin the ceter, if that is how you are trying to adjust it. Or that stupid little dial from autozone. A spark plug tool has about 4 guages, double ended for metric and stadard. And a little rod with a notch, where you bend the tip to the right distance. It is...

    torque specs

    Surely you have removed bellhousing bolts. Because that is a great example. A 1/2 Snap-On or IR with 500 lb/ft in reverse with my 4 foot extension from Snap-on has had trouble with bolts that stuck from old age or too tight. But if you can reach with long arms like I have, I can loosen them with...

    torque specs

    No. You might have misread what I wrote. A longer handle will make more torque, that is what I said. The longer sockets and extenions on the socket will remove torque. The longer the extension, the more it loses.

    Any Jt56 Lightning Users

    A CT upgrade will run out of breath due to the housing well before the T4.

    do i have to pre gap these spark plugs?

    Regardless of what the box says, always check the gap first.

    The new truck for the new girl

    The car seat doesn't fit in the Supra or Mustang. Something had to give, and it wasn't going to be the cars.

    02 sensor splicing question.

    http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/ I am not going to look for you.

    torque specs

    Yes. Depends on the extension though. A longer extension between the socket and wrench will twist more, making you hit your value before bolt does. An extension on the handle does not matter.

    R154 Noise

    There is no 4th gear. It is 4th speed, which is direct drive, that means the input and output shafts are locked together, and it removes the load. The load makes noise in all gears, getting slighlty quieter as you upshift. That noise is the input bearing dieing. It is also why don't have...

    code 31, 24 and tps help??

    The airflow meter signal is hertz based. I dont' think the book lists a spec. My old school books might say, but I don't have them around right now. Somebody that has data logged would know what it looks like. But since your ECU is showing a code for both parts, you likely have a wiring...

    Started the 7M today but now it won't start.

    He might consider more than just over night at 2 amps. I found more like 24-36 hours, when it is dead. And as he said, see if it even comes back. If the battery is left dead too long, or with old age, the lead sulfate becomes too hard to reverse the chemical process, and recharge.

    Rebuilding head

    It also takes the engine slightly out of time. It will still run, but it won't be straight up. And unlike cam gears, you can't tweak it.

    need some help with Head advice/HG

    It isn't english class, it is called the grown up world. Get used to it. :nono: So you go hungry all time? If you had said 1MZFE, it might have been more credible.

    Why does everyone underestimate the MKIII?

    Yep, the Supra and Cressida showed Toyota their plan for a high end luxury car would work. The Cartech turbo 7MGE ran 13.x@107 acording to one scanned story online.

    Whats your Supra story??

    I read about the preproduction Supra's new engine and power over the Celica Supra, and it looked great also. Easy enough sell. Just as soon as I could afford one.

    Problems with Starter, again

    He needs to diagnose the problem first. Then worry about fixing the starter. The factory repair manual goes into detail on how to do it. I don't know if the parts are even sold over the counter. A good parts store might carry them. They are typically called brushes...

    91 Factory Amp Integration Harness

    Factory amp? I am unfamiliar with these.

    Problems with Starter, again

    I am not there to see it. Loose battery cables will cause the battery to lose its charge. Worn contacts inside, the ones that carry current, make the starter "wear out". When you hit it with the hammer, they make contact from vibration. It only works for a while.

    are 550cc big enough?

    The factory tune is very rich. And the ECU knows it. If you tune with 440's that high, you could hit a problem known as fuel trim.

    Sub o2 Sensor (code 27)

    If the harness does not reach where the oxygen sensor goes in the header pipe, then it is not original. Or the ECU was changed.
