    1JZ MKIII 12MPG Consistantly and not boosting

    double check your cam timing. ive seen 7m's that are off one tooth and they were ridiculously low on power and used lots o fuel.

    Starter Issues FAQ

    i think i recall seeing a TSB for the mkiv regarding the starter click issue and it said to add an extra relay. basically it uses the stock starter solenoid wire to trigger another relay. then the new relay pulls power from the battery or the alternator post to give a full voltage signal to...

    electrical problem!! need help fast!!!

    depends on what you tapped the boost gauge power/ground wires into. if you tied into the illumination circuit, that the fuse you blew. if you tapped them into the guage power supply circuit, then you blew the instrument circuit fuse.
