    maf light?

    That is a good reason to buy a new engine. I was wondering if you had an overheating issue, that is why I asked about the light. I don't know why people call it a mass air sensor. They are both air flow meters, but the mass air is just more accurate.

    oil pressure...

    Agreed. Not about the 19 years though Before you drive your car in anger, install a mechanical gauge where the pressure sender goes, and see what it really is. This is after you make sure you are not low. I don't get the dipstick problem either. Never been an issue with 5 MA70's, and two...

    Lift is different. I don't know about duration, it isn't listed in the repair manual. My 91 manual lists intake GE lift as 38.16mm and GTE lift as 38.35mm. Exhaust has the same lift. Which looks like a reprint from my old 88 manual. But I know they have different part numbers at one point...

    mk2 6m and 7mgte ?

    ? A different stroke length from different rods, pistons, and crankshaft between a 2.8 and 3.0 are not the same. So the harmonics are different also.

    Funny how A/C systems break overnight

    Brake, yep. At least my mind is in the correct thought process, car parts. I was refering to how it is broke over the winter, but not repaired until it is hot out. Finding other things to spend money on besides maintenance and upkeep, which should come first. I was a Toyota fan when they...

    click, click boom

    Arcing is from a live circuit, and how much current is flowing. Your starter contracts sound worn, or short with the arcing.

    Cost for Toyota to make the MK3?

    To the original question, if you are looking for dealer cost, that is one thing, and it is researchable. For example, the 1990 LS400 Toyota sold retail for $40,000, but the dealer cost was only $29,000. So the Supra's cost was undoubtably less. Old cars will not be built again for several...

    Lexus RX300 Timing belt job (dealership) Long, but you gotta read.

    Actually it can be done in a little over an hour. How do you know the timing belt wasn't done? You pulled the timing cover? It is a 1MZFE engine? If so, no need to change the water pump either. That is a shameless ripoff many engage in, under the premise of, since you are in there, might as...

    I stepped over the line

    A few years ago. I was reading old posts from...eleswhere. I over did it, with some good people too. There really is no excuse. I hadn't realized some(most) of it was that harsh, until re-reading it. The ignorant ricers deserved :rant2: it, and still do. But not everybody else. :nono:

    maf light?

    I meant engnine...Doh! Was the museum, bird cage, etc on when the engine needed replacing, and why did it need replacling? No. That is a Karman Vortex volume air flow meter. It doesn't measue air mass.

    Funny how A/C systems break overnight

    As soon as it warms up out. Reminds me of all the tires that go bald after the first snow.

    MAP vs. Mas

    Yep. Most really fast fuelies run speed density. Less restriction. It just doesnt compensate on its own for changes.

    maf light?

    The 7M does not use a MAF sensor anyway. Was the reservoir light on when you had to replace the radiator?
