    Questions on engine heat and spark replacement

    I did Platinum NGK's with new wires. Although I was running Denso's before, the NGK's are a great replacement, and you might as well put in new wires when you do this.

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    There. The black/white wire that is OUTSIDE of the plastic tubing. THAT'S probably the power wire we need. Hey Crisp, take a pic when you get the chance of where that black/white wire attaches to the back of the HKS. That will probably be the solder point we need. And, AWESOME WORK...

    Questions on engine heat and spark replacement

    All done with the test, here are my results... 1: 150 2: 150 3: 150 4: 150 5: 152 6: 152 A little low since the engine cooled some when I was removing the 3000 pipe and other piping, but well within specs. The engine had ZERO issues with cranking, and the old plugs looked in great...

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    Yup, we're all gonna have to figure this one out. Anyone with a lit HKS with power wire, can you post a pic of the back of your unit? Apparently a wire needs to be soldered in to make the unit work as it should.

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    I read up on that blinking, and it's when the TEMS system errors out. I guess I must have a bad ground then, because you don't even have yours grounded and it definitely needs to be. You might have to pull your wrapped area apart and look for the straight black wire inside that to wire it back up.

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    I PM'ed the original owner, and he said the same thing, that this harness never had a separate plugin for power. It's quite possible that different years of the HKS had the extra plugin (probably the older ones), and some didn't (newer maybe?). I suspect my ground is wrong although I did ground...

    Nice..... Now, if you wouldn't mind... pop the HKS out of the center console and take a pic of it for me... please? :biglaugh:

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    This also explains why there was no lights to the controller on any of the buttons, without direct power to the controller, it's not responding as designed. I'm determined to make this work!!! (Especially after spending $300!!) :: angry ::

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    Funny. The wires I have for mine are the big harness with the dual ends for the TEMS system and the black ground you just mentioned. It does NOT have a 12VDC third wire that I would imagine plugs into the small power harness where the old TEMS controller was. Now I'm probably going to need a...

    HKS TEMS underdash kicker panel plugin - Where?

    Okay. The unit is installed, and thanks to all who helped! Now. Next fun question. When I have the unit set to "Auto", everything does as it should. TEMS is set to normal, and suspension advances as usual. When I switch it to "Manual", the indicator drops to 1 light for normal. But when I hit...

    If I get time today, I'll be monkeying around the car locating this cable. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks!

    The "You might be a 7m owner if..." Thread

    I dunno, I think the 7m has far less space than the 1jz to work with in that bay.

    The "You might be a 7m owner if..." Thread

    You might be a 7m owner if.... You go to a hardware store just to buy magnets, socket extenders, a new toolbox, flashlights, and dropcloths all for 30 mins. worth of working on the engine because you're tired of dropping tools in the 7m and not being able to reach anything, tired of being...

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    Just about every muscle and bone in your body aches because you have to contort yourself inside the cab trying to get to body panels and wires under the dash just so you can install some bling part, boost controller, turbo timer, etc... into your system. I had to clean the bleepin' upholstery in...

    Atari: For those of you old enough to remember

    Meh. I keep my old Atari stuff in storage for when I have my "retro room" all set up in my house. And MAME FTW.

    Probably do the same thing as this guy. I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. I may be a n00b, but this was incredible.

    Atari: For those of you old enough to remember

    Why would you have to? The AtariAge link is perfectly legal, not like other ROM sites because all the old Atari stuff is now public domain, meaning free to whomever wants it (except for Activision). So, a good emulator, a special USB adapter, an old Atari joystick and paddle (or a PC gaming pad...
