Or you could help me trouble shoot he car properly and tell me what I should be doing. because clearly I don't know what to do at this point.

Starting to seem more like a boost leak, the car smelled really rich when it did fire up. I just cant seem to find the leak, And I don't have an air compressor at my house to check.

So I went out to try and start the car today. It kept firing up then dying immediately when I touched the gas pedal, Kinda like its a kill switch lol. I got it to rev up once, and it revved up just fine, but when I let off the gas the RPMs immediately dropped and the car died. Any ideas guys?

I understand this, and I have never once said I don't want his help. In fact, quite the opposite. Perhaps his way of teaching is over my head, and maybe he isn't willing to dumb down a little to help me out. Either way I'm still clueless as to what the problem is with my car, I still need some help.

I'm not clueless that I'm clueless. I've clearly admitted that I don't exactly know what I'm talking about here. I've simply posted what I believe to be right, that doesn't mean I'm right. This is why I've made a thread, to get help with the issue I'm having, and have people correct me if I'm...

Well even if I got a new AFM and it fixed my problem he would say it didn't fix my problem. Just like with other problems I've fixed, but whatever. Anyway, if measuring the Ohm's on the AFM doesn't tell you much or really matter at all then why would the TSRM say to replace the AFM if the Ohm's...

Once again not a helpful post. I assumed it meant measuring the Ohm's as it says to do in the TSRM, I don't know how else to measure the electronics. I did read the TSRM it says replace the AFM electronics if the Ohm's are not within proper range. This would be why I assumed it would cause my...

Im trying to, but your posts aren't helping me learn or figure out exactly what to do. You keep telling me everything I do is wrong but you don't help me to do the right things. What exactly do you mean measure the AFM? Can you be more specific, That can be taking in several different ways. If...

Well to make you happy I test the AFM with a Ohmmeter following this link: http://www.supracentral.com/foundation/files/6613/3056/3821/FI_096.gif I had the AFM at 68 degrees so it should have read between 2,000-3,000 on the Ohmmeter. However, every time I tested it I would get a reading...

I forgot to add, I also checked for any loose intercooler pipes or rips for a boost leak but found nothing wrong with the IC piping.

So I was sitting at a stop light, when the light turned green and I went to accelerate and the car instantly died and the check engine light came on. Tried to start the car again and it fired up, but then died again when I touched the gas. Ended up pushing the car off the road. Popped the hood...

My original misfire at idle and low RPM's was resolved by getting new NGK plugs. The misfire I was seeing at high RPM's was a result of bad grounds/loose power wires. Nice rims BTW! Always wanted a set of those.

Alright guys, good news. Finally got the stock elbow off. We went a little harder at it this time. Took a metal chisel, put it in between elbow and turbo and hit it with a sledge hammer working around it slowly. It finally popped off! So now I have a new divorced down pipe on the car, and I'm...

Gonna have another go at it tonight

Haha i just didn't know if anyone had this much of a problem getting the stock elbow off before. My last supra it came right off. It was me and 4 other guys taking turns beating around it with a hammer and then also used a big flat head. We sprayed it with penetrating oil as well. But it would...

So I just got a divorced down pipe. While trying to take the stock down pipe off I ran into a problem. I got all 4 nuts off the elbow that connect it to the turbo. Then I went to pull the elbow off and it would not budge. Tried hitting around it with a rubber mallet, then mallet and screw...

A 20 some year old radiator cap with hard and cracked rubber seals would be more likely to be the problem than an HKS metal head gasket and ARP head studs failing. Especially since the car is at stock power.

Oh it isn't huh?

Actually it just clicked with me, I think your onto something with my issue. The first radiator cap I had on was bad and it was allowing to much coolant out, period. The second cap I used barely let any out, but when it cooled it couldn't suck anything but air back in and that's why it was like...

So when you say check those two hose's for a leak are you talking an air leak? or a coolant leak from the hose? I know the hose going down into the overflow tank is extremely loose, it falls off almost every time I pull the cap for the overflow. So maybe its pulling only air back instead of...
