I hope some one will be able to tell which wires go the correct pins on the TPS. With this info I can make it work. My tps goes from...

    One Scary Noise (r154 maybe)

    This all starts with a very cheap clutch from ebay, later found out that it was all a scam and I ended up with a stock pressure plate. It was the XTD stage 2. Well I drive it like there is a baby on board for a bit over a hundred miles. One night I was feeling a little rambunctious and...

    Crankshaft Pulley Bolt...STUCK

    My car should have been done a long while ago but life never seems to make room for those kind of things. It's an 89' Turbo 7M-GTE. My problem right now is the crankshaft pulley bolt. I have a screw driver holding the fly wheel in place (what the Haynes manual said) and I have broken so far...

    Trying to rid a habbit

    Well, I've been an everyday smoker of pot for about 5 years. I've wanted to quit in the past but I just gave up. I'm seriously going to do it this time. It's just that all of my friends are heavy smokers, and anytime I hang out with them I feel pressured. If I don't hang out with them, they...

    Coolant leaking from back of block/head

    I was filling my radiator with water and I found a leak from the back of the cylinder head/ block. I can't get too good of a look at it, and my hands just come shy from the source of the leak. What is this?

    Turbo Oil Lines

    I tried to search for this, but had no luck. My car is done, except for the 2 bolts that connect the turbo to the oil lines. I just can't get to them from any angle. I was wondering if anyone had some tips besides pulling the motor out. Any tools that helped?

    Finaly it starts, but oil is everywhere....

    I've finally got the Supra running again. Only thing is I still can't drive it anywhere. As soon as I start the car I can hear liquid just rushing out in the turbo area. I had my friend try to see where it was coming from while I started the car. He couldn't really tell though. All I know...

    Vacuum Lines. To be or not to be?

    I'm still rebuilding the motor. Got 98% of it done. I've seen the vacuum line diagram and all, I know where they all go. I just don't want them. Two of my friends who own 300z's just say to plug everything off. When I got the car the EGR was already ditched, along with more than half the...
