It hardly ever needs to be worked on.

Yeah, it is useful. That is why the alternator has a built in regulator, and the battery is the size it is. The battery is a stabilizer.

Pulling the EFI fuse doesn't fix cars. Do that after you fix it.

So you had the head decked, but it doesn't look like the block was. Is that right? And which Cometic did you use? They list standard, normal, and MLS, and of course they are all MLS.

It is normal for almost all cars, including the Supra. Not sure about Lincolns though. When it heats up, it expands, and has to go somewhere. As it cools, pressure pushes it back in.

Then get off the loud pedal.

Replace it, or clean it and lube it somehow, if it is dirty.

Not relevant. Even a Corolla can do that. If it was running bad when warm... What color was the spark? A yellowish spark, or more of a bright white/blue?

There are thousands of "gun control" laws on the books already. They do not effect crime in any way. Crime was not invented after the musket came out. Which state has a worse violent crime rate? Idaho or New York? Idaho has almost no gun control, New York has everything. Not total crimes...

Engine timing straight?

Make sure the harness is plugged in solid to the TPS. Besides the fuel pump causing a pressure loss, the fuel pressure up VSV could be bad. Heat soak can also effect the ignitors on Toyota.

It could be bent, or rusted. With a slipping clutch, the RPM will increase, and vehicle speed will not. That is different than a stuck throttle.

Guns cause crime like spoons cause Rosie to be fat.

Many things can cause a bad idle. 51 means the idle contacts are not closed when you did the test, and the ECU thinks you are trying to acclerate slightly. So the air/fuel ratio is off. It can also come on if the A/C button is on, or you step on the acclerator pedal while testing.

MSRP is what you should go buy. 86.5 MSRP is about 22K. 92 is obviously the most. Somebody posted the original window sticker at 34k just the other day.

I know, I know... I am always impartial. ;) The white one that one was very good. But the dark red one was just fabulous. This is that 1UZ swap. Another good swap choice in my book. He is also a good driver. He ran consitent 14.6-14.8, with a string of 14.7's. He...

'nuff said. This is Chris Jensen's ride.I don't know who he is, but here is his car. He has a web page where you can read about his upgrades. It is incredible in person. What I like is cleanliness. Here is a picture of the Celica Supra 2JZ. He gets online for...

This is the dyno open. That is your authors car. It is really dirty these days. One thing that stood out was the 1JZ swaps. And not in a good way. All that trouble for 300 rwhp? The high one was 325 with a turbo upgrade. And they don't come on nearly as early as the 7M, most...

Dean Marcum did it. I don't know if anybody else has. He seperated the ring lands at about 500rwhp, but didn't loose the OEM style headgasket. Go figure.

I think the sport roof is 50/50. Or close to it.
