    Rattling/Tapping sound coming from engine/tranny connection..

    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...

    VTA-E2 Voltages/Resistance

    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")...

    Need some clarification on VF readings..

    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...

    Cluster Gauge/ electrical problem.

    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...

    Battery problem

    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...

    When advancing the timing...

    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!

    Fluctuating Idle

    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...
