ok fellas..i bought me a 1990 supra turbo from a fellow supramania member...great seller may i add..he told me that the headgasket of the car may be going..so i towed it back home..added antifreeze(he said he took out some) and left it to run for 1.5 hours and didnt even overheat ..but the exhaust fumes are so strong..it sticks to my cloths..there is no milky residue or any signs of a bhg..when i revv the engine a lot of water comes out the exhaust ..i took a cloth and rubbed the inside of the exhaust hole and its so black..it has all the factory cats on the car also..anyone know why would the fumes be so strong..HG? clogged cat?..by the way when i revv the engine the anti lock lights come on and goes away

doesnt smell like oil...its a smell that you wouldnt want to be locked in the garage or standing behind of..it really burn my eyes when the car is started up..when i press the gas...you see smoke comming out smelling strong

FOR your anti-lock brake light. Start on this page http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BR&Page=46

Or you can just go to the page that tells you why your light turns on and why and how to check :http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BR&Page=51

Also go to MKIIITECH.com

Sorry if this looks all out of order, it's 1:49 am, i am tired, of to bed. ( no more rockstars before bed) Don't hot-box your garage with your car , it's bad for you.
