Pics 1 and 3 looks like power wire to starter. Pic 2 should be ground "B" for ECU. Should have 2 white with black tracer wires and one brown wire with round eyelets to ground on intake manifold.
I would wiggle and pull and push on your wire harness by the #6 intake runner, gently maybe an inch or so each way. They seem to develop opens in that area. I bet you have a open circuit from injectors to ecu or ecu to ground "B" on intake manifold. I bet if you move harness around slightly...
^^^ Good idea to verify. Btw fuel fouled plugs will not fire. If you have checked all the above and timing and cps is installed properly you should also install fresh "new " sparkplugs. Some disagree but a fuel fouled plug that is dry still will not fire properly. IMO
Cylinders "washed out"...
Every car you have listed is somebodies problem car they cannot fix themselves. Fixing a problematic project car is very expensive and a waste of time. I think everyone has stated the same thing. Start with a bone stock, well taken care of car. There are nice clean cars out there. Nice...
That $1700 car will cost more in the long run than a nice clean car to start with. IMO You must be looking at different body picks than I see. If they look bad in pics just wait to see in person. Cars that look good can still be bad in person. You live in Florida, you need ac. Supra's are...
The only way to get an OEM Toyota gasket is the dealer. Most dealers get parts next day maybe two depending on the depot they ship from. Plus they can tell you if the local depot has them and if not where they are in the country. Dealers will even ship to your house.
I order stuff all the...
I would like to know "why" you spun a bearing? You need to find the root cause of failure or it will happen again. PS the rod that had a "spun" bearing needs replaced. IMO
Make sure that you lubricate the inner part of valve seals, where the valves slides up and down. It is also important to properly seat the seals on the guides. I use a 10mm deep socket 1/4" drive and about 6" extension. I push firmly onto guide and give it a few light taps with small 8oz...
Really, it is a good idea to re torque aftermarket wheels in a hundred mile or so.
Make sure you use proper lug nuts.
I prefer proper hub centering rings on aftermarket wheels, even ones that become lug nut centering. IMO
If the car is burning lots of oil the oil control rings are stuck. Valve stem seals failing causing blue smoke on start up is way less than a thimble full at most.
I would change oil and make sure it is on the full mark. Then drive till you use a quart of oil. Not unusual to use a quart in...
Sometimes alignments can get very expensive with a MKIII. Usually the bolts seize in the bushings in control arms. Make sure you check all of the adjustable bolts front and rear.
Who ever does the work make sure to use plenty of anti-seize on bolts going through bushings. IMO good luck.
Did you poke a screwdriver into drain hole. I have seen super sludged engines that won't drain oil because of sludge. I have found our dipsticks to be tricky to read. I have upgraded to 92' dipstick. They are easier to read. IMO
With plug out you could always pour in some oil and see if it...
