    Or in my case $900 for the supra. Lol I have notice the mkiv are pretty high in priceing. That is one car I can only dream to buy as the population of those cars has diminished in the past ten years and priceing is increasing due to supply and demand.

    Can you get a permanent plate for our cars?

    Here in texas it only has to pass a safety inspection ( horn, belts, lights, brakes, steering, ect...) For anything 25 years or older. No smog test. Been told by multiple mechanics that does the state inspections. I'm happy bout that.

    Yes I verified tdc with a 12 inch ratchet extension in cyl 1. Will differently figure the fuel problem soon. With new battery, added some new 93 octane gas, and got the new banjo tap in I will start testing and checking things tomorrow.

    Ok I just stuck my inspection camera into the fuel tank through the sender unit hole. From what i see the tank and fuel pump looks clean. I see no rust at all. I will test the volts to the pump tomorrow at idle and revving up. I will also crawl under the car to make sure the lines are all good.

    All three pics are there. Crank pulley mark, cam pulley marks, and cps mark. Those would be all timing marks.

    I'm learning that the hard way. Been ordering parts left and right. Hopefully I get it running soon though. Can't afford to keep putting money just to get her running.

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Going to have the battery tested tomorrow at autozone. I'm thinking the battery is bad cause it reads low volt when plugged in to car then when unplugged it creeps back up on the volts back to around 11ish volts.
