    1987 supra strut noise

    How do your bump stops look. I installed kyb gr2's, ST springs and new bump stops. My bump stops in the front would pop on me until I trimmed about 1-2inches off of the plastic.

    TPS/Speedometer/Dead Spot on Gas Pedal

    Sure they could!! Sounds like your TPS needs to be adjusted.. I had a similar issue where I would idle through the parking lot and when the tps(gas pedal) got to a certain point it felt like I just let off the pedal. I adjusted the TPS and that spot is gone..
