    86.5 Speedometer and Idle Issues

    Recently, my 86.5 Supra speedometer stopped working intermittently. When the speedo stops working, the car struggles to Idle, bouncing around 350-650 and sometimes die. Sometimes after the car dies, the speedometer and idle issue go away after starting the car again. The issue seems to have...

    Catalytic Converter Test/Replace?

    I have a good feeling ( or bad as it may be ) that my catalytic converter needs replacing. The reasons I believe it needs replacing are that I barely passed HC on emissions recently and am getting a bit less gas mileage than I think i should be ( around 250-275 / tank ). The exhaust also...

    Passed smog, but HC was fairly high.

    Timing Light?

    I'm looking into getting a cheap timing light since I am in the middle of a BHG job and I'll be replacing the timing belt while I'm in there. Will the Equus 3551 work with my 86.5 N/A supra? http://www.buyzillion.com/B000EVYH72/Equus+3551+Xenon+Inductive+Timing.html "Designed for...
