The Supra: 1990 N/A Automatic 10k on rebuild. A little history: I started hearing a rattling sound coming from the back of the engine. I glanced around but figured it was my exhaust heat shields. Over the next week, the sound got more and more worse. Now for the odd part: Only rattles at...

Moved to General MkIII section.

My EFI system has been out of whack (ECU thinks it's running lean, so I'm now running rich) for a while so I finally broke down and started testing. I was testing voltages (per FI-32 in the TSRM) and everything was within spec. except for VTA-E2 (Throttle Valve fully open, it read "3.63")...

Ok, my car has been running pretty rich lately, so I checked the VF (using the Diagnostic box and a Multimeter). On a 20v Scale, the multimeter read: 6.44v with the positive connected to E1 -2.44v with the positive connected to VF1 Does this mean the ECU is increasing the fuel input by...

Sorry guys, I searched a lot of threads - even the Official Wheel Fitment thread - but couldn't find the answer (I may have been searching wrong, IDK). OK, So I'm thinking about buying some TT MKIV Wheels. 17x8+50 17x9.5+50 I'm kinda short on money, so could someone please tell me if my...

I was wondering if anyone knew the part number (or even the proper name) of the exterior door trim that goes above the window. It's a rubbery, plastic piece that goes the length of the window. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about: Sorry the pic. isn't too clear but it's the only one...

Ok, I have an automatic, and today I noticed the light that shows what gear you are in was out. So I took everything out and was messing with the bulb, trying to get it to work. Long story short, after a little bit my dash cluster lights went out. The "ECT" and cruise control lights [and the...

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/BG_Suspension/Suspension/Springs I was wondering if anyone knew about these springs? Like, what's their reliability, handling, etc? Thanks!

And the story begins.... The other day I decided to get new break pads because mine were starting to squeal. I lubed the new ones up and put them on and called it a day. The next morning I drove to school and realized I barely had any brakes; Like I had to mash the brake all the way down to...

Ok, when I was driving to school today, my voltmeter shot up to 18 [it normally stays at around 14 when driving], the battery light, and the light that looks like a car with its headlights on came on. I stopped and turned off the car then restarted it. When I started it, it was fine but then...

Ok, I've been searching/talking to a mechanic [His name is Cuel on SM/SF] but I figured I would see what everyone else thinks. I have a 1990 N/A Automatic and it's having a hard time starting.. The Supra cranks fine but it will take 2 or more tries to actually get everything running. And even...

I want to advance my timing to about 14 but after reading/searching I still need some help. Do I set the crank to 14 [instead of 10] or do I set the distributor? or both? Sorry if the questions seem lame, I just need some input. Thanks!

nevermind. I found it Why can't I delete this thread?

Ok, so my car has been having trouble starting lately. It cranks fine but doesn't like to actually start. I have to crank the engine for 5-6seconds before everything finally catches and gets going. I've run a vacuum leak test and everything was fine and I've checked wires and it all seems to...

I wasn't sure where I should post this but... I'm pretty slow when it comes to electrical things so I was wondering if someone could help straighten this fuel pump wiring thing out. On the resistor, there are 2 wires that connect to it. Am I supposed to take those 2 wires and connect...

Ok, I searched on SM but I couldn't find anything like my problem. Whenever I start the Soup it rev's from 750 to 2500 rpm's, over and over. I wouldn't consider the car to be idling roughly but it's obviously not right. If anyone could suggest a solution I would be in your debt forever. I had...

I wasn't sure where to post this but hopefully you guys can help me out.... Ok, so my engine is completely rebuilt & ready to get back in my car. However, I'm having trouble hooking the transmission back to the engine. I was wondering if anyone knew any tricks to get the engine and...

So I'm about to finish up my rebuild and was wondering what oil everyone thinks I should use. My two choices are either German Castrol or Amsoil [I was thinking just 10w30]. I drive a 1990 N/A Fully stock [I'm getting a Cold Air Intake] and I enjoy driving hard but 98% of the time I won't...
