    the newb question

    You shouldn't need a stronger-than-OEM-toyota headgasket on a stock powered 7m-ge. Go steel if you have a turbo. Eman - this is a GE forum, if he posted in the right place he wont be anywhere above atmospheric pressure ;) So in other words, no point in going above 80ft-lbs...and no need...

    it shouldn't keep it from idling. The ECU isn't that stupid...it will run rich though and other problems along with a reset ECU could cause this... The plug is somewhere underneath the AFM. it's the big sensor lump just behind your air filter box. air flows through it, moves a flap, and a...

    help!! motor will not idle

    that is the cruise control actuator. if you notice it's throttle cable goes right up to the throttle arm thingy. basically it takes over and tugs the throttle in place of your gas pedal's throttle cable. also, i agree any funny seal you create will prevent the ECU from knowing the true...

    help!! motor will not idle

    uhhh.... you fixed an engine and just because of some wiring you're going to dump it and swap in a new engine? that's even more wiring.... :sarcasm: Not to say I wouldn't support a 2jz swap or any other turbo swap. there's lots of info on here, I'd use the search feature and see what...

    HAHA. yeah I know. the mounts don't cup it perfectly and it's got a dopy offset filler cap. Old one probably exploded long before i bought her. :biglaugh: She's on her second (or third?? dunno:aigo:) headgasket.

    How can I claim this abandoned car?

    WOAH what's up with the radiator? did it explode? it looks like a whole section of the top piece is torn off? or is that just me seeing things wrong. looks great for under 200 bux man!! Defenitely needs attention to clean off rust on some little engine bits and the exterior but...

    help!! motor will not idle

    check the order of your sparkplug wires on the distributor. I stuck mine on out-of-order accidentally right after my BHG fix and it ran like shit/stalled...but WOULD run with throttle. :nono: :nono: Could also be a sensor (AFM) that you forgot to plug in.
