    to keep tems or not to keep tems?

    Yea, TEMS are pretty wack...I have been thinking about getting rid of mine...it will always get stuck in firm mode for no reason, and the ride is really shitty, plus I need new shocks, so any major bump or pothole seems like it's going to jar the paint off of the hood... How would one go about...

    Billings, MT supra thread ;) >noob city of the month?<

    Oh, there WILL be, there always is...lol But yea, seriously, it doesn't sound too bad, your intermittent starting problem sounds like it's probably a wiring issue, bad connection somewhere, probably the CPS, check it! Also check the Coil Pack connectors, like when it won't start, wiggle...

    Over Heating!!!

    Yes, do what Joel said, that's great advice! As far as the Supra being in the shop, mine has been in countless times, like waaay more than I care to even think about... haha, and I do a lot of work to it myself too! It's always under the knife!

    I need some help gents.

    yes, I took the bottom portion to the DMV, so hopefully we won't have to pay the fines... Maybe I'll just wait until it goes to auction, and buy it back? I installed the Fan Clutch a little while ago, and it sounds a bit louder, but now the car doesn;t have as much power :(...oh well, it's a...

    Damn! She's to' up from the flo' up! <jk> With a little elbow grease and a paint job, it will look worlds better...oh, and remind me to never paint any car that horrible beige/eggshell color, that shouldn't even be legal! P.S. And strip those sawblades!

    Billings, MT supra thread ;) >noob city of the month?<

    hmmm... sounds like that could be a wiring issue, when it doesn't start, try wiggling the CPS wires a bit, that's what I have to do to mine once in a while, and I have read about it on countless threads... Do you get any codes?

    I need some help gents.

    IJ is totally right on the cooling issue... I just replaced my water pump, now it needs a new fan clutch, as it's running a bit hot, and if you don't let it idle for a long time after driving it, the coolant will start to boil and spill out of the overflow...maybe you should replace that too...
