Making it reliable.

[JtWo]

Ok, so now that my head gasket is done, how do I make it reliable? I'm considering selling my car for a miata:cry: because of the type of motorsports I do, but I just odn't wanna sell my car. What do I have to replace?

 

[starscream5000]

Anything that is old and worn out: vacume hoses, spark plugs and wires, air filter, any leaky gaskets, oil change, coolant change, replace thermostat if you don't know the age of it. And make sure you torque the head to the new proper specs.

just wondering are u turbo or n/a??

 

[JtWo]

It's a turbo. I already replaced all that except hoses and vac lines.

 

[starscream5000]

Basically all regular maintenance, brakes, fluids, etc. How's the car running?

 

[JtWo]

It's not running...I'm trying to get it to start. LOL

 

[starscream5000]

have you checked your codes? Plugged up the AFM and O2 sensors?

 

[JtWo]

Yezzir ok...when ever this car starts, that's when I'm gonna sell it.

I hate supras so much.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[JtWo]

Anyone wanna buy it?

 

[johnathan1]

That's a really nice looking Supra. Don't sell it just yet, it should be pretty easy to get it started once you figure out what the problem is. Check your code, and you will know.

BTW, if you want to make it reliable, replace EVERYTHING with dealer parts.

 

[JtWo]

oh it's not that nice looking anymore, well it is if you don't look at the front bumper. LOLLL. I got battle scars from sliding.

 

[JtWo]

Yay I just blew my turbo. DAMN IT. LOL same day we got it to run. Oh well, pick n pull on friday I guess.

[JtWo]

Ok new problem, what went wrong if my car starts, but dies when I BARELY touch the gas pedal?

 

[supra90turbo]

[johnathan1]

[JtWo]

AFM isn't unpluged and it's not shooting any codes

 

[johnathan1]

Vacuum leak?
