    Not Starting when Hot? WTF

    Sounds like a bare wire somewhere. Something probably rubbed through and you have a direct ground. Vibration going down the road causes it to touch the chasis. Just a possibility.

    Auto trans shifts hard.......

    I missed it where he said it was shifting late. Show me again. Since shift quality is determined by the throttle cable that is the first to check. It requires no real thought or tools. Of course he should check for codes. That is what I said. What should I do? Take pictures of the...

    Auto trans shifts hard.......

    Or his throttle pressure is too high. That is adjustable. If you have recently been on the throttle body, and moved it, that is a possibility. Shift quality isnt affected really by the shift solenoids, only timing. Same with the TPS input. The lock up solenoid is possible, but often the car...

    7m revability discussion

    I almost forgot. The bore/stroke power article was about peak power. The bigger bore unshrouds the valves debate. The big bore shorter stroke made no discernible power differnce to the smaller bore longer stroke.

    How much HP do i need give or take to beat a stock mr2 turbo?

    Stock it is definetly quicker than you. With the exhaust mods and boost controll, you could take him.

    Auto trans shifts hard.......

    It is supposed to shift harder at WOT. What do you have to compare it too harshness wise?

    7m revability discussion

    So one of those hillbilly performance magazines decided to test the bore/stroke debate. Two engines, everything the same but bore and stroke. They had to make some consessions do to the obvious things like rod ratio. I think it was popular hotrodding. Anyway, in a nut shell, there was no notable...

    Hard to start when warm - ideas?

    Ive seen the cold start injector bleed down into the intake. Putting the acclerator to the floor and how quick it starts would be an indicator.

    Does anybody run aftermarket ignition box with stock coils???

    Actually plastic has an R value of about zero. It insulates nothing. I think it is zero anyway.

    Fixing my power steering

    Unless there was a previous unknown problem, Id guess it isnt hooked up right somehow. Assuming you have it full. Disconnect the supply line at the rack and start the engine. If it doesnt pump out, you are restricted. Most pumps dont die, but they can.

    pics of your 7ms engine bay

    Thanks. I looked for an extra clean car and unmolested. It does have an external blemish that I will erase in time. The rest of the car was too good to pass up. I bought it with 119k, and it has 121k now. No need to fix anything on ISC pipes. There are extra clamps on many pipes. Not sure why...

    went to the quarter mile track tonight.

    13.5 in a heavy ass car with a slipping clutch is always good.

    Shaeff's buildup (400rwhp)

    Very nice set up and execution. Get it full speed soon so you can hit the dyno and 7Mpower.

    fuel pulsation damper removal

    So for those that have removed the injector(pulsation) damper, what are the ways to counter the gaps in pressure? Is the stock pump up to the task, or is that AFPR as mentioned above the minimum needed with an upgraded pump?

    Crank talk

    Why does the "6M" cranked 7MGE have the lower redline?

    My supra won't start, help ?

    I dont know what you used to try and jump it with, but low buck cables are usually thin, and dont flow as much amps. So the discharged battery will not jump. Check those things he said to check too.
