Your cylinders are probably washed down with fuel causing the low compression. Caused by misfiring. Repalce the plugs and oil soaked wires and clean out the oil. Btw make sure your core plugs have gaskets on them and tighten down your cam covers. If they are not loose replace the gaskets...

How about a picture of the battery and cables. A test light is much faster to test fuses. If you did not hook the battery up backward. You have a problem.

Hello down there. If it was my car and I was having problems. Like the ones you talk about. For sure I would repalce the plugs and wires with new oem Toyota parts. This way you know that your secondary ignition is up to par. You even describe questionable wires. Also you can inspect the...

I think the code is for the airflow meter circuit. Not just the airflow meter itself. Might have a wiring issue. !st try a known good airflow meter. If still having issues you will need to test and inspect your wiring. BTW. Afm is probably one of the biggest input to ecu for load and...

Why don't you make a video of the problem. I am guessing that no check engine light and no stored codes.

I say you are good to go.

It sounds like secondary igntion breaking down based on info. Light load = max spark advance and lean. I would spray the plug wires with some glass cleaner to see if it gets worse. Correct OHM's on plug wires have noting to do with insulation of wires. I would start with new plugs and OEM...

Maybe instead of grinding down housing. It looks like the seal sets down from the top of the bore it goes into. Maybe do a new seal and install it flush with the top of the bore. Most things that toyota uses a lip seal seem the be flush with the top of whatever they are sealing. But if my...

I say go to the track and see what kind of time and mph your car does. If your 25 year old car is as quick and fast as a newest latest greatest "muscle" car then not to bad. Go get some data before you freak out. I love the turbo torque. As you get used to driving it, I don't see how you...

Don't forget to tell the MKIV crowd. Looks like they like them.

And it is still 3.o liter per turbo. Wow what cool Fab work. Good luck. Can't wait to see it run.

^^ Cool lift in the van.

That is not an OEM radiator. I would buy another replacement like the one in the picture. I would not spend money trying to fix radiator. And get a new OEM Toyota thermostat and "O" ring. As a good starting point. I like Toyota Red coolant. Also check the fan clutch. That is what I would...

Nice flat black paint. Sun Roof. At least you stayed in the Toyota family. Having a nice comfortable DD does not suck. Maybe one day you can buy your Supra done up already.

I heard back in the day of getting real service work. Done at the dealer. On 15k, 30k, 45k, 60k mile services that they would tighten all the cam cover bolts you could get to and tighten them up. Of course on the 60k service with spark plugs you can get them all. So maybe the next time...

To me it souns like they are selling a problem that they have been unable to fix. I would wait and buy a nice clean unmoddified car. Or I think the 86...5 with 2j swap in the sale forum is a good bang for the buck. And this car has been driven since the swap Buy a plane ticket and drive...

Btw on my previous post I said to put fipg on threads. In no way was is suggesting that you would discard the sealing washers " drain plug gaskets" . Yes If the "cover" is bad get a new one. Dealer can get new cover and maybe Driftmotion.

^^ Thanks for showing us what you found.

^. I am glad to see some one use the resources Supra Mania offers. Then ask a question. As you can tell they only want the FIPG at the edge of the cam caps. Good luck. PS i hope you are doing plugs and wires and sealing the Core plugs in the valley. Do use some FIPG on the core plugs if you...

You could get the car and replace everthing on the car. Spend some serious $$ for a Dream. The best part is having one for years and "never getting the joy of driving the supra" Start with a clean unmodded car. They come up for sale on the fourms and get laughed at for the asking price. Or...
