Trying to diagnose a no start problem. The engine seems to crank over normally but when cranking I noted the voltage as indicated on the dash meter is reading as low as 6 volts. I tried jumping the battery with another just to see if it would change the voltage reading. It didn't. I will...

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...

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. Initially the fuel pump would cycle when the key was turned then power would be lost. No spark, Coils. CPS all checked...

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?

I am having a hard time finding the info I am looking for via search function. Would someone please point me in the right direction. I am swapping the drivetrain from a turbo doner into my 87 NA. If I remember correctly don't the ecu's power differently i.e. main relay and cor relay wiring is...

I have an 87 Supra with the 7MGTE. Just bought it off some guy who pulled the engine from a working supra. Said the engine ran when he took it out but now it only cranks. I've done all the tests in the TFRM but am stuck because I cant get the engine to give me any diagnostic codes. I am...

So my sister just bought her husband a 1976 Porsche 911 turbo (930) for his 50th birthday. If memory serves didn't they make around 250hp and were "challenging to drive? I ask this in case a little bench/friendly racing should come about. What are his chances, is it a fair match?

Just a heads up for anyone looking, there seems to a recent abundance of MKlll Supras for sale in the SLC area priced from $600 to over $7k Go to WWW.KSL.com and search the cars for sale section.

Things are slow here at work and I got to wondering who here has the oldest Supra? Mine is Apr 87 last six of vin 061760 The original engine wasn't even equipped with the oil squirters!

I just changed the oil and filter and now it drips from around the plug. What size is the plug, what material is best and where do you recomend buying them? (I don't want to drain all the oil just so I can take the plug with me to the parts store.)

Had new tires installed today and for the first time noticed that the wheels are marked LEFT and RIGHT. The last tire store had installed them on the wrong side and I didn't even notice! At least they had the tire rotation correct.

#2 and #6 injectors are not working. I have chased the problem down to what I believe is a no ground signal from the ECU to the injectors. I have 12v at #2 and #6 injectors but they don't cycle (all others are working fine.) Using a stethoscope there is no click sound when the engine is...

So instead of having fun on my day off I am trying to figure out why there is 12v at both pins for the #6 fuel injector. Any suggestions before I start disassembling to get access to the harness would be appreciated.

When I first bought my Supra 5 years ago I paid almost $500 to have the exhaust replaced with a "custom" 3" system. What I ended up getting was booger welds, restrictive bends, a Cherry Bomb "turbo" muffler and a "resonator" that would hit every speed bump. I replaced the Cherry Bomb with the...

The front brakes recently started squealing very loudly every time they are applied. The pads are semi metalic with barely 5000 miles of normal use on them. The noise will go away temporarily if I clean the pads with brake clean, but the noise always returns within a few days. The rotors are...

At idle there is a very slight stumble which I assume is caused by a leaking injector. I believe it is this stumble that is causing the high HC reading at idle. I have recently replaced the plugs and wires and performed a leak-down test ( just to verify the integrity of the rings and valves)...

Each year it is something different this time its 130 over on the HC at idle. Do you think if I disconnected a fuel injector that it would pass? I have heard of people doing this with success. Less than 3000 miles on the plugs and wires. In the process of running a can of Seafoam through the...

Is there any particular reason that I shouldn't plumb my intake system using 3" mild steel tubing instead of aluminum? I have lots of 3" tubing at the shop, its easy to weld and I can get it powder coated any color including aluminum.

The arm rests of my inner door panels are cracking and I was wondering if anyone had any creative fixes for this? I have already replaced the door panels once and I regularly clean and treat the vinyl with Armor-All. Is there any way to recover them?

The starter on my 1991 Cressida went out this week at three years and three months from date of purchase from NAPA. After being told the warranty was expired, that the price had gone from $129 to $169 and that there would be shipping charges, I picked the starter from the counter and went to...
