    Electrical Help Wanted - WNY

    Ok guys... my baby is driving me insane. I've got some weird-ass electrical problems with the car that none of the shops around me seem to want to even try to diagnose. For example, when I shut the car off, the dash lights and blower all stay on (as if the key was in the "on" position) and kill...

    Grrr, argh, and crap wiring!

    Friday night after working a long outdoor gig in 15*F weather (for a parade of all things), I hop into the car to go to the local greasy spoon and get some grub ith the crew. Fire her up and she sounds like CRAP! Sounds like a lawnmower and feels like she's only firing 3ish cylinders, hiccups...

    ABS stalled engine?

    So I was coming home from a gig tonight... drove about 70 miles (according to my odometer that is 10ish % off, so really maybe 60 - 65 miles) and didn't get on it TOO much :) Anyway, it had snowed at my house while I was gone, and right before I got to my driveway I decided to do a brake...

    Birds birds birds! (No, I don't mean the radiator kind)

    My car seems to *LOVE* to kill birds. I've had her on the road for a few days shy of 3 months, and I've already hit and killed 5 (that's right five) birds. One time I hit two different birds within a 1/4 mile stretch of road. I stopped counting near misses (5 feet or less) once I got to 30...

    Strange cooling system issues (or: WTF, Chuck?)

    Ok I'm not even sure where to begin with this... my Supra has been trying to scare me lately though, so I figured I'd write something up to see what you guys think... Cliff Notes up top since this is long: 1. Temp gauge reads much lower than usual, with random fluctuations 2. Waterfall...

    TPS Diagnosis

    Just want to make sure I'm on the right track here... First, some background: I took the car in for an alignment and had them change the oil over to full synthetic with a Wix filter (previously had dino oil and some cheapie filter). As expected, after the change they pulled the EFI fuse and...

    87 MKIII Turbo - western NY (warning: long-winded post!)

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to drop a quick line to introduce myself... I've been lurking here for the past 2 months while I was waiting for my baby to get fixed, but now that I've got on the road I'm sure I'll be a little more active here :) So she's a 1987 Supra Turbo, which I've wanted to...
