    Drove home with a BHG and Boom!

    Where did i read it on here, "the weak link in the mk3 is the owner" proven fact. (this thread) I am not taking shots at ya failure but read your previous thread that was closed out, here ill post the url so you dont have to do any work: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110155

    one piece driveshaft.

    wow big improvement over old two piece. much smoother, did not realize how much power this car really had before. that lsd really hooks up in the rear now. i have driven in the rain before with the old shaft sucked balls. But today the roads were drying up and that damn thing wanted to spin...

    Drove home with a BHG and Boom!

    +1 on that ^^^^^^^ you just cost yourself more than the average hg job in my opinion. Youll be lucky if its only minor and the coolant only hydrolocked your engine causing it to not restart. which in some serious cases means S.O.L BTW the didnt you have a bhg thread already?

    Drove home with a BHG and Boom!

    first you new you had a bhg and tried driving anyways problem one. did you check the oil, was there any coolant in there? I would have tried towing it before driving it.

    code 71 egr gas temp

    I live in co springs so its not an issue. I searched the tsrm for the temp sensor testing: http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FI&P=118 I am very new to all the tuning and adjusting what nots, and not sure on what temp the ecu would normally read so should i...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    what might the part numbers be? does anyone know what resistance the sensor has when egr is flowing through it? i am gonna try and locate an ecu have a few hits in the fs section right now just waiting on some cash do so. So i think the resistor might be worth a shot also, aint gonna hurt...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    I live in colorado no emissions here, but either i am not about pollution. The var is not a dd so i think ill be fine on that note. And i am running the highest octane available here which is 91, wish it was higher or the 112 i put in my bike wasnt 5 bucks a gallon. What is the JDM ecu...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    what would you recommend doing then? To replace all the egr components is pricey and not to mention having to pull the head to take the block off plate and install a cooler. How dif will the performance be without the egr system? It runs great for me now, with no issues.

    code 71 egr gas temp

    Would anybody know what the resistance is on the sensor. that might save me some money compared to buying a new ecu. Will i still get egr codes though being that there is no egr components? or is that sensor the main reason for a code 71

    code 71 egr gas temp

    ok well i am going to look for a fed emission ecu then, and that would essentially make my car run as if it was never installed correct? How can i tell if the ecu is fed or cal?

    code 71 egr gas temp

    so what are my options around this(short or replacing everything)? this is the first time the code has set and the egr has been gone since i bought the car? If i change the computer to one that does not look for the change would that work with the rest of the engine performance?

    code 71 egr gas temp

    what about the rest of the egr shit? i seen on tsrm that the egr valve, vsv, temp sensor can set this code if any fail. is that the only difference in them is emissions? could i swap out computers, or would that possibly create problems in the future? What about running a different temp sensor...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    it was purchased in colorado but has cal emissions on what a bitch. I would like to stay away from reinstalling the emissions shit only because there is a block off plate on teh back of the head and i would have to purchase all the components as well. What are the differences in ecu from a...

    Alright...Im lost..Possible BHG?

    the coolant passage is on the lower plenum. i think it is the line that runs into the bottom of the tb or iscv. trace out the lines and you will find it. should be a total of 3 lines. One that connects tb and iscv, one connects to intake and other is on the block i believe. If you are gonna try...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    Well the egr is gone, which has the gas temp sensor. i am wondering if i can relocate it in the exhaust somewhere? or by pass it somehow? my main concern is engine performance though.

    No Spark, but everything tests good

    55 for them, maybe do some price matching at other places. there was a thread on here somewhere that someone had picked them up for under 20 i believe? check the fs threads maybe there are some just laying around that are in good condition?

    Alright...Im lost..Possible BHG?

    if you have coolant on all plugs, its either a severe bhg or like you stated you are sucking coolant into the intake down into each cylinder. there is the water passage from the head into the front lower area of the intake plenum make sure you do not have a crack there. if you suspect turbo...

    code 71 egr gas temp

    took my car out today got code 71 took 100 miles to set. The PO had removed the egr system and i cannot afford to put one back on at this time. The code is for egr gas temp. is there anyway around this code without having to install the entire system? Does it have to be egr gas temp, or can i...

    Filling Coolant Everyday and then losing it the next.

    go and get a coolant pressure tester put it on and pressure up the system but not too high or you can potentially create more leaks. Only test up to what the cap reads that is the safest.

    High performance starter?

    What is the issue here at hand? "having starter problems again" what kind? we need more info more specifics.
