    Failed fuel pump = fried ECU?

    My project is a 1986.5 where the previous owner swapped a 7MGTE in place of the 7MGE. He said both cars were running prior to the swap (turbo had been crashed and NA had BHG.) Car has now been sitting for over two years. When I first brought the car home I am sure the fuel pump would cycle...

    7.5A ignition fuse

    It's good to be back after two years since selling my last Supra I recently picked up an 87 where the previous owner swapped in a 7MGTE and was never able to get it to start.

    What size electric radiator fan shoould I use?

    First let me assure you that My Supra is just fine and that no Supras were harmed in this conversion. I recently installed a 7MGE in a 91 PU and need the specs on the factory fan so that I can get a comparable universal electric fan. Anyone have this info or suggestions?

    Thanks!! I swapped out the computers and it worked like a champ. Now I just have to check the diagnostic codes. By the way where would I find the "how to" on that old computer? Is there some kind of website I could visit?

    Can't get any diagnostic codes

    So I tested the ECU and found that there was 0 power going in. I then checked all the fuses and the 7.5 ING fuse keeps blowing every time I turn the car to ON. Any suggestions on what kind of problem that might be?

As for the light bulb, i checked it out and it was perfectly fine, although i think the guy might not have put in the right instrument cluster. I seem to remember the guy saying that...

    Hole for fuel pump

    I realize that it isn't a Supra but I did the trap door routine on an S10 Blazer. Using a "lifetime warranty" fuel pump from AutoZone, I got tired of dropping the tank each year to replace the pump. Now it only takes 20 minutes. I used an over sized patch panel that I cut from a wrecked...
