    Code 51=Stranded 87

    Haven't been able to check the drops yet but here's something new: Drove it out to school, about 50 minutes and it's pretty hot out, with no problem other than some pretty intense butt-sweat. Turned it off for about 3 seconds (a little bit longer but you get the picture) Found out I was parked...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    I thought so too about the jump, but the guy at advanced said it was beyond the jumping point... My electrical experience as a wee lad: A boyscout flashlight lightbulb + one house wall outlet = One very scared and crying wee lad! ;) Is there a particular connection I should check? I.e...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    Jet, tried a jump yesterday, nothing happened... took it into Advance... Toasted. New battery = Life! Thanks for everyone's help on this, and I'm sorry I tried to make it more difficult than it was... But in my defense ( :greddy2: ) I've never heard a dead battery sound like that before... and...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    Wait... What? I'm not trying to be difficult at all! I THOUGHT those things would rule out a dead battery? I'm sorry if I was wrong... I've already said I'm not trying to be difficult... I thought 12.4 was good considering it sat for as long as it did... I didn't charge it or jump it. That was...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    Lol. I've done stuff like that before to bro. But it's not the fuse, the first thing I did was check all of them. I ruled out the battery for a couple reasons: 1) It's only about 2 months old. 2) I measured it's voltage: 12.4. 3) When the key is only as far as the "On" position the battery...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    And I'll be the first to admit I'm a moron when it comes to most things having to do with the engine, but I'm pretty solid on electronics and especially stereos and things of that nature. I'm really sorry if I've offended anyone or made them mad at me. Definitely NOT my intentions. I'm...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    That's kinda what it sounds like... Is that a possibility? AJ: Sorry man, didn't mean to jump down your throat or anything. No hard feelings? Yeah that's exactly what it sounds like, and I would assume that the coolant was below 100F... Coolant is like water in the aspect that it's...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    Not really... But I didn't really notice. I'll check again tomorrow. That's what I had figured... Transmission was running a bit low on oil, so I swapped it out with some Redline MT90. Also discovered a burned out bushing so I got a new one and a new seat from Marlin Crawler. What...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    No doubt. It just sorta whirs and I can smell gas vapors coming from the tailpipe. I had originially thought that the starter was slipping or something because it sounds like something spinning like a gear spinning against a belt or something. It will wind down till it dies. My clock will...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    I posted a thread in the General Section but it's gotten only two responses... My car will NOT run. My supra was turned off for probably about two weeks. Didn't plan on it being this long, but that's just how it ended up. Just finished bolting the shifter and everything back up, went to turn...

    test pipes on na??

    Hmm... Would a larger diameter exhaust cause it to run richer? I dunno it certainly seemed to me like it was running a bit richer afterwards... Of course the thing idles like crap most of the time too... :rolleyes: I dunno...

    test pipes on na??

    It certainly did for me. My "Test pipe" was constructed by taking it off, turning it sideways, and letting the rotten chunks fall out. Bolt back in and VIOLA!!

    Do MK3's have seperate E-brake shoes like the MKIV?

    Do MK3's have seperate E-brake shoes like the MKIV?

    Parking brake pads rarely ever need to be replaced, because you're not actually stopping any MOTION with them, which is the main reason your normal brakes will wear down. Chances are you just need to adjust the travel of the handle. Check your TSRM, it's fairly easy. When you do replace your...
