    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Took the alternator to autozone, O'Reillys, and advance auto part today to have it tested. Alternator tested good at autozone and O'Reilly and the guy at advance could not figure out how to test it right so it kept testing bad. I will start with tsrm tomorrow to figure out my issue.

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    I've read someone talked to a electrical engineer which told this guy that 1.25b converts to 80 amps. I believe that's your expertise Mr. 3p141592654. What's your take on that?

    Ok so my alt fuse says on the fuse box cover 1.25B. It has a 60 amp fuse in the place. I'm reading on tsrm that there is suppose to be 100 amp fuse. Which one do I get 60 amp fuse or 100 amp fuse? Or am I suppose to have a fusible link?

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Ok so I think I'm having alternator problems as at idle my battery reads at 12.4 volts. But the alternator tested good at autozone and I'm seeing 14 volts to the charge fuse in the engine fuse box but it is not getting to the battery. Probably why my other battery took a shit. I haven't test...

    Or in my case $900 for the supra. Lol I have notice the mkiv are pretty high in priceing. That is one car I can only dream to buy as the population of those cars has diminished in the past ten years and priceing is increasing due to supply and demand.

    Can you get a permanent plate for our cars?

    Here in texas it only has to pass a safety inspection ( horn, belts, lights, brakes, steering, ect...) For anything 25 years or older. No smog test. Been told by multiple mechanics that does the state inspections. I'm happy bout that.

    Yes I verified tdc with a 12 inch ratchet extension in cyl 1. Will differently figure the fuel problem soon. With new battery, added some new 93 octane gas, and got the new banjo tap in I will start testing and checking things tomorrow.

    Help! Supra doesn't run right

    Ok I just stuck my inspection camera into the fuel tank through the sender unit hole. From what i see the tank and fuel pump looks clean. I see no rust at all. I will test the volts to the pump tomorrow at idle and revving up. I will also crawl under the car to make sure the lines are all good.

    I'm learning that the hard way. Been ordering parts left and right. Hopefully I get it running soon though. Can't afford to keep putting money just to get her running.
