    Okay, now it looks like my Engine has rodknock, Someone please help me!

    Bolts weren't loose, they were snug as hell, the reason the flywheel's loose is because somebody (me) forgot to put the spacers between the engine and flywheel and flywheel and clutch.

    Anyone? I know one is for the ECU plug that I don't have... another is the glove box light, and another is the themostat that goes on the dash for temperature. But what about the white and gray one?

    Okay, now it looks like my Engine has rodknock, Someone please help me!

    Well here's the ugly truth. I am a dumbass. I didn't put the spacers in so the flywheel is going crazy, I took the inspection cover off and the flywheel has wear marks on the teeth from going crazy. And it's so loose without the spacers that I can move it about an inch in a circle both ways...

    Costs in 7mgte vs 2jzgte

    I did that with my JDM 7M already. Wasn't really that hard. I came in with an EGR, EGR VSV, and BVSV. Told me to go get it smogged. Passed. Easy. Now registered as an 88 Turbo 5spd :D

    Okay, now it looks like my Engine has rodknock, Someone please help me!

    Okay, I've decided to pay a family friend (Who owns a shop) to wrench on my Supra. I started the car for him, and he says it sounds more like a violent rattle, like something is loose. Something I just discovered that I did NOT install on my car were the spacers for the flywheel. Could this...

    Two clicks, Ignition and Starter. Turns out someone (me) put the torque converter on wrong. The Engine and Tranny have binded against eachother. *Sigh* Gotta drop the tranny and hope that the oil pump isint toast.

    Where do these plugs go to.

    This guy is right. The Headlight washers came as an option on 86-88 Supras only... and in Canada for all years.

    Where do these plugs go to.

    I think it keeps things from shorting? I have absolutley no idea, I know only what it says on the unit. And no, I know for a fact that you don't HAVE to have it. I asked the same question at one point, then I just went and got one wether I needed it or not, I didnt wanna take any chances.
