Aorry i didn't see your post but I agree with the cps theory unless I'm not getting spark which is the case here I believe because i can smell the fuel and air is definitely sufficient. yeah my car has anti-theft but i've never had issues with it, i don;t use it either.

What I was talking about in #12 is the corroded not secured ground on my cross member and the new one I have from body to tranny side sight cover bolt. I only have 2 grounds on the engine mount from the harness but if I'm getting this right I need to switch these 2 grounds with the battery gound?

Tps wouldn't contribute to the starting problem. I've driven with it out and in tune it will give a different pedal response depending on where it's set and changes idle a bit. Yeah it will throw a code and all but I like to calibrate it while the car is running so I can get the most accurate...

Code 51 because I haven't tuned the tps just yet but that's it. Oops coil pack: It's also an old one.

Actually I'm not sure if I have all my grounds to be honest.. These are the grounds I'm aware of though and please let me know if I am missing any or have something wired wrong you can see because I'm not an expert and maybe there's something obvious I missed. Haven't taken care of this...

The only ground that is actually in bad condition is the ground on the tranny cross member/mounting. It's corroded pretty bad. But I have a brand new ground from body to tranny side sight cover bolt on driver side.

Those are all check. I'm really anal about timing and cps tuning I line everything up to the T.

Alright well I had low oil pressure and I thought I spun a bearing so I pulled my motor and plastigage checked out. I replaced squirters, shimmed oil pump & filter relief by 5mm, water pump, new crank pully becase a sheared bolt cause the guide to detatch, timing belt, timing pulley spring...

Haha thanks it was weird

Anybody? I'm pretty frustrated with it right now.

I ended up using 2 gaskets and it sealed it up nicely.

Did what I described narrow anything down? I really hate electronics and measuring resistances. I have no problem tearing my engine apart but when it comes to electrical stuff I'd rather eat dog poop. Edit, So it's really random it just started and I dialed in the timing. I shut it off then...

So I just fired my engine up for the first time in months. I had my engine out and did the oil squirter's and pumps and such. I just started her and she fired up but rough idle and the rpm's would drop low then die but this is cause i haven't set the timing and tps just yet. Then I start her...

Theres this leak in between my water jacket where it connects to the water housing dead on at 16278A in http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291420/catalog.aspx?F=1603&P=2 I can see the water droplets forming right there and I took some pics. The problem is I can't get it to go away. I...

Breaks for the win dude.. I get so dedicated to working on my engine I won't stop for food or drink and before I know it my thought process is crap taking me 3x as long to find the right sequence for getting to something in order to gain leverage in the right spot with the right tool sort of...

Yeah I was flipping so hard when it happened... I was thinking about pulling an all-nighter and pulling my engine/dropping pan and I was so ashamed of myself for the work I was going to put myself through. Then I called a friend and he made me realize it's just gonna chill in the sump and...

I'm in the process of changing a water jacket gasket because I noticed it was leaking. I was filling my ghetto repaired radiator with distilled water and I noticed the leak. This was going to be the first engine start in months from my little rebuild. Anyways as i was unbolting my turbo oil...

I don't understand the liability issue either... they didn't even take it out of my car I drove it there in the trunk of my mom's car and handed it to them. Then the fat guy started unbolting the fan shroud.... if he can take it off why can't he put it back on? They were so unorganized it...

Man these guys are terrible.... Definitely gonna try to work something out with them tomorrow.

Yeah the place was pretty run-down. The dude who spoke all that bs was a 300llb mexican and had a "don't worry I'll take care of this so no need to explain what I do" attitude. What looked like his dad did the actual work using the back of a truck converted into a radiator station... What blows...
