    Fuel System not acting right

    It sounds like you're tip in (and probably the rest of the scale) is WAY too rich. Have a wideband? If not, stop screwing with your fuel pressure until you get one and learn how to use it. Sorry, usually I'd give you more, but no free lessons for today... good luck, I gotta go.

    writeup: MAFT Pro install for 7M-GE

    Thanks for the review Sl1deways... and thanks to the rest of you for your kind words. I'm having some rather severe issues right now, so I won't be on often... I'll check in when I can.

    Springs and Dampers?

    Riiiiiight. If you know someone specific there to deal with PM me the number. I've got a friend who apparently keeps dealing with the wrong rep regarding the siezed damper in his M3. I'm not saying they're bad, but you can't say that a company will always just swap out a bad damper, but that...

    Climate control buttons not staying down!

    Yeah, they're pricey. I got that price from Champion's site, no discount offered. IIRC, someone called Elmhurst about it and they couldn't give much of a discount either. I just might have to start buying up bad CC's and refurbishing them. I wouldn't do it for cheap to say the least, but...

    Climate control buttons not staying down!

    Just rebuild it... it's a LOT cheaper. ;) EDIT: Okay, sorry about that... had to type something to put up while I dug for the part number. HVAC Control Unit: 55900-14500 MSRP: $601.29 (or you could shop for a used one for around $100)

    Climate control buttons not staying down!

    LOL... Oh, sorry AJ... Nah mang, you'ns keep that oil fer tha car.... keep it in the motor mang, the motor. Seriously though, I got my 89+ CC for $5 or $10 (I think it was $5) because most of the keys wouldn't stay down. I rebuilt it using parts from my pre89 CC.... it sucked.... a...

    Valve Cover Seals Help Please

    Hehehe... silly newbie probably doesn't even know what a TSRM is. Toyota Service and Repair Manual http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/ I highly recommend buying one for your car's year though.... also so Toyota keeps printing them. ;)

    Climate control buttons not staying down!

    <shudders> just had to say it didn't you.... ugh. Lubrication won't help 99% of the time (and I personally would be hard pressed to believe the lubricant did anything useful in the other 1%). The most common reason for buttons not sticking is excess wear of the molded in catch which is...

    Climate control buttons not staying down!

    Replace the climate control.... I would tell you to rebuild it, but apparently it's beyond most people's skill level. It is a real pain in the ass, but it is doable. And if ONE person says to oil it, I will find you and I will hurt you.

    Springs and Dampers?

    There are a number of factors that would effect which models/brands each of us would recommend. Daily Driver? Exactly how stiff? What shape are the roads you drive on in? Are you planning on upgrading your anti-sway bars? Give the folks here a little more to go on and they'll gladly help...

    Mookeh eBay short shifter experiences

    Hehe, I was just kidding, but I suppose that since I've already intruded on this thread I may as well offer some help... So, Daneyan, which style is it that you have? MK1 (top) or MK2 (bottom, long and thin)

    Mookeh eBay short shifter experiences

    You and your dad both have MKIIIs? So you'll be trying it out next, correct?

    Mookeh eBay short shifter experiences

    I've seen a couple people install their shifters not realizing they were completely missing both bushing and seat. Any way about it, I'm sure some would like a thorough diagnosis as to what happened, Daneyan.

    Steam Cleaning

    That suggestion would include covering the CPS. :3d_frown:

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    I've been fighting with a couple codes that show up on an intermittant basis, including 42. They show up most often on cooler days after I've done a lot of city driving on the previous day.... and they usually don't show back up the following day. The only thing I've found that could be...

    Code 51=Stranded 87

    ECU's probably not getting enough power when it's starting.

    Steam Cleaning

    Use common sense? Black and Poodles are being a bit extreme in their statements. Personally, I would "go to town" but avoid all electronics (wiring, coils, plug galley, ignitor, wire harness, VSVs and so on). Steam will readily condense and have a much easier time of penetrating cracks in...

    white smoke on deceleration, after bhg

    It is definitely possible that for any one of many reasons his HG didn't seat properly or a couple jackets were warped during the install.... possibly that his head is only on with 30ft lbs of torque because the holes weren't chased with a tap. If coolant's getting out of it's circuit it's...

    white smoke on deceleration, after bhg

    I don't think he's looking at coolant either... the first thing to cross my mind is fuel.
