    IDLE PROBLEM HELP

    The VSV on the right side is for EGR. The fuel pressure up valve is behind the alternator. But you have to make sure the ECT sensor is sending the correct signal to the ECU. And make sure the ECU is giving the command to the vacuum valve. And the vacuum valve has to be hooked up to the...

    EGR valve ?

    Removal only set a code on Kalifornia cars. The ECU monitors temperature, as Big A pointed out.

    7mgte block with no oil squirts??

    Many heavy duty engine applications use them. Usually a turbocharged diesel engine driving heavy equipment.

    Starter Solenoid?

    I have never seen a starter solenoid mounted on a fender. I have seen many starter relays mounted on the fenders, especially domestic models.

    Tow Hooks!!!

    As I said, they are not tow hooks, they were designed to hold the vehicle to the flatbed during transport. The front also has two. And if you try to tow it like that, the bumper cover can be torn off.

    Oil Relocation Kits

    I only know of one specific kit for the Supra. The rest are universal. Remove the filter housing bracket, install the 7MGE filter stud, and then get a universal kit with 18 X 1.5 fitting.

    Tow Hooks!!!

    How are the stock hold downs unaccessable? There are 4, not 3. One is missing. They hang right out the bottom. Those were used to hold the car on the carrier. They aren't really tow hooks. Although I have towed other vehicles with the Supra.

    Oring-ing the Block

    Correct. Just because it is new to you does not mean it is new. This is the old way of sealing high pressures. Proper head and block preparation and that heavy duty HKS gasket will do the job.

    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    The internet not spreading information about the Celica Supra was not my point. The internet speading stories of people who lost the headgasket and then repeated the process 5 or 6 times, then just say it is a design flaw. I haven't compromised my coolant jackets either. Although I have seen...

    questions about overheating

    It is rare, but the impeller on the water pump could have seperated from the pulley. If your thermostat sticks closed, you will have very little coolant flow, and overheat also.

    Damaged Cams on 7m-gte?

    I am in disagreement, again, with this idea that it is normal. It isn't normal, it is why people here upper end knock.

    7mgte with N/A electronics

    They can be plugged in. The 89 and later 7MGE uses high impedance(resistance) injectors. The 440's are low. Working around that seems somewhat easy. However, if you are in pursuit of 500rwhp, don't use the naturally aspirated electronics. You will be shoveling shit against the tide as...

    IGNITER? NO FUEL?

    Cause that connector was first hooked up 17 years ago. And that was long time ago. While I have never had a problem with mine, apprarently the connector comes loose after a while. A terminal rebuild kit can fix it, but many just hard wire it together. Although I would not do that.

    What would you pay for perfectly clean/stock supra?

    Check here. There are high prices, low prices and averages listed. You have to look at the cars too. Some are crap. But at least you can see what the asking price is. Some people are retarded, yes...
