Yesterday I noticed a slight stumble when engine started several times during the day. I figured just an anomaly. Eventually at a start up, it did not start on first key turn. It would turn over but not start. I tried key again and it started. So I drove away about 500 feet to a stop light...

Hoping someone can help. See photos attached. Does anyone have some side mirrors off their car or stored somewhere and can measure using calipers the height of the mounting posts that have broken off on my mirror. Would have to be mirrors for a 89+ I'm going to attempt to rebuild these on mine...

The rear knock sensor wire broke off and the connector fell apart when I removed it from the sensor (the rear one near the starter). Has anyone found a source for a new connector (this would be for 89+, so the gray square type)? I've read several of the "Knock sensor rewire" threads that some...

I have a tie rod end dust boot that is cut. I want to replace just the dust boot. The joint is still good. I've replaced the boots on my MKII with an Energy Suspension boot for ~ $5 for 2 boots. It seems there are no aftermarket replacement dust boots for the MKIII. The ES dust boot for the...

I have had a small coolant leak at the head gasket for about 7or 8 years. It just seeps out a now and then. I've marked the area that I know has been leaking coolant on the photo with the yellow line. I took the car in to the shop for what was thought to be a rear seal oil leak, but I am...

What reference location does one take when talking about the "right" and "left" side of the supra? Is it facing the front of the car or sitting in the passenger compartment? Can't find, what I would think to be a simple, but important bit of data in the TSRM, my user manual or searching...

I have continued codes 25 and 26 that first started back in June. I'm currently looking at the fuel pressure with gauge connected on fuel rail. I have previously monitored the fp while at idle and parked and the numbers were in spec: 7mgte engine, 92 auto tranny - all stock, except bosch bov...

info on TEWD states that the system causes the VSV to come on for "high temp" starts. I'm looking into the idea that my poor warm start idle (bounces from 500-650 rpms) for the first minute after start up is caused by my FPU not turning on. ie..the VSV circuit not being completed to allow the...

I'm going to use two acronyms in this thread: my car is a 92 Auto 140K hg has been replaced prior to me at some point. Everything is stock except a Bosh blow-of valve (installed 2 years before this problem started), external tranny fluid cooler and fluidyne rad. PIC = Poor idle condition...

For the gaskets with a "sealant" ring already on them, which surface should that side of the gasket be placed against? My thinking is that surface with the sealant material should be placed onto the surface of whatever you are bolting to. example: the turbo oil return line to block. The oem...

I’ve been working to replace the exhaust manifold gasket, and while removing the turbo notice coolant dripping from the hard pipe just near the 90 degree hose. No big deal I thought, as I expected it to be the hose. It was not. I have a leaking spot weld at the rear most mounting tab just before...

Searched the TSRM and searched the forum...can't find the info.. Which tranny fluid line that connects to the radiator tranny cooler is the Send line and which is the Return line? thanks in advance, Rick

I have no idea what this goes to, it was just hanging down below the turbo, no error codes or engine/running issues. I'm on my way to replacing the valve stem seals and moved the power steering reservoir out of the way and noticed this wire. It is quite long and it taped/stems from the wire...

I'm bench testing my ISCV per the TSRM here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=107 I can not get the valve to open or close by the method described in the TSRM. I removed the valve after normal engine shutdown, so it is in the open position. This test is...

I've searched and can't find the info..... I'm replacing my original rear rotors and I'm trying to find if someone knows an exact brand/color code, number or name to paint the outer "drum" section of the rear rotors to original appearance. Hopefully someone has already done this and...

I have found various info searching but nothing diffinitive. I guess a second question to ask, again which I can't seem to find an answer to using search odly enough, is how to determine (it it can be determined) if you have an a/c system that has been converted? Rick

I'm trying to remove my temp sensor from the Thermostat housing while it's still on the engine. Tried to loosen it this morning, but it wouldn't move and I'm afraid of breaking it off with the threads still in the housing. I'm going to spray some liquid wrench on the surface of the threads and...

I have a 92 7MGTE, auto. I've searched and found nothing specific to my problem which is.... Sometimes upon starting up the engine, the brake light in the speedo gage will very dimly light up. ONLY the brake light will glow dimily, NOT the battery light at all, or the "rear brake light out"...

Howdy, I'm trying to decide between the Mobil 1 M1-204 filter or K&N HP-2004 filter. I can get the Mobil 1's for $2.00 cheaper than the K&N's, but I'm thinking the bolt on the K&N might be worth the extra $2.00 for ease in installing/removal from the STOCK filter locatioin. Has anyone...

Title says it all, can't find using search...anyone? Rick Never Mind....someone emailed it too me... it is MOBIL filter M1-204...thanks!
