I took everything off again yesterday and stuck one of my girlfriend's hair sticks in the #1 spark plug hole. Found out i actually had the engine on the compression stroke last time and it probably would have started up. I didn't stick anything in the #1 cylinder to check TDC last time, so...

Thats a great relief! thanks for the info

I'm going to go back out today and see if i can get my ignition timing set back up properly. I'm still a little confused about this post http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?38775-How-To-basic-timing-instructions-CPS-alignment . The online TSRM doesn't show anything about removing...

even the simplest maintenance wasn't an issue with the previous owner, because it never happened!:nono: you should have seen the oil that i drained out of it when i got it. black thick syrup. Oil in the sparkplug valley, oil coating the front of the engine around the crank seal! no gaskets...

I already knew how to find TDC. I just lined everything up last time and forgot about checking the #1 cylinder's piston position or cam position and decided to leave it untill i worked out the concerns i had about the CPS. Will be sure to pick a worth while body part to stick in there though...

I have no idea what a WOTM is. I assume is has something to do with eventually being redirected to watching mercades with 10 foot hydrolic extentions on the rear tires in the United Arab Emirate. The TSRM points to the CPS as a potential problem, and i know it's right because i removed mine...

So i was doing a coolant flush recently, and everything went down hill. I think my supra hates me. Here's what happened. Bought a new radiator drain plug from autozone, they had to order it, it was the wrong part. Brought it back and they had the right part behind the counter, even though i...

it's been along time. I did take my unit to be tested and they told me that they could not test it and that the unit rarely goes bad. The funny thing is after i reinstalled it the car cranked right up and ran with no problems, untill now. I really don't know what the problem was, but i...

any advice?

can i just turn the engine over and leave the key in the position it would be in when running to see the error codes?
