Wow...it detonated like that, with a composite hg and it didn't visibly blow it?

I am having a similar problem...except my car desn;t overheat or do anything weird...just that (thanks Kai) "coffee percolating" sound behind the dash... My temp guage never seems to move from around the 2/5 position...

^^He's probably checked all of his fuses by now. I'm guessing that having polarity's reversed would heat things up a bit? Maybe you have some melted wiring somewhere that you aren't seeing? I would go around with a multimeter and check everything that's needed to start...cps, coil packs...

I have met the following people: bigaaron (saw him earlier tonight :biglaugh:) jose valle (sp?) hot dayam mk3 emission (socal supras) RedEleven87 I have met a bunch more, but I don't know their screen names, mostly Socal guys though. Also, I probably should have met Turbo Joe, I saw...

Looks like a clean car! I can't wait to see it when it's done! Also, how did you do the TRD and SUPRA logos on the speedo and tach? I WANT THEM!!

I bought the Autozone special...it bolts on a little differently, but still fits and works okay...

Lol...Been there, tried that.;)

YAY!! (Just read this whole thread) That's awesome! Oh, and I am very proud of the fact that I have also made JJ go crazy before...:biglaugh:

Maybe bad wiring somewhere? (check the cps) When were you fuel injectors cleaned last?

I was never able to figure out my 1K idle problem :(...But my MPG really isn't too bad...

Happy belated birthday IJ!!!!!! Also, it says that ckanderson was banned, yet he still posts, whats up with that?

Where can one get new pins?

I think you meant "quirky".

hmmm. pressure test the cooling system.

I need to do this soon, as sometimes my car won't start...jiggle cps wires, BAM! starts...lol. Also, It will sometimes buck slightly while cruising, and under low RPM acceleration... Where is the write up for this (if there actually is one)?

I don't really remember, maybe around 3 hours? (first time)

Yea, I was able to get my vc gaskets two times at autozone, and they were in stock for $30 (Fel-Pro)... As for the water pump...mine was leaking as well...i just replaced it, and put a layer of silicone all the way around it's gasket and it hasn't leaked since...It's really easy to replace...

yea, clean them with a little screwdriver and some carb cleaner...then you could also take some needle-nose pliers and bend the contacts together for a better connection. Mine would work intermittently until I bent them together a little..

Wow, I put "listened to them"...lol, I wonder what I was thinking. As for torque...I tightened them as hard as I could w/out the screws stripping... I tried to get hex bolts to replace the screws, but Autozone didn't have any that matched and no way to adapt a philips bit to a 1/2in drive...

Why doesn't the TSRM tell you to use silicone on the valve cover gaskets? I listened to them, and had so much oil leaking that my car looked like it was on fire when I pulled up to a light after installing them...replaced them and put silicone, and all was dry again :).
