    Automatic Transmission no reverse

    Before I bought it, the PO had the tranny serviced (165000 miles), after the service, it quit working....typical....I've got a replacement tranny that is good, but was trying to get by without swapping it. Fluid level is good, checked several times, and the filter was changed.

    Automatic Transmission no reverse

    It moves in forward gears, but not reverse, unless the cable is pulled all the way up and tied off.

    Automatic Transmission no reverse

    Bought an 87 MKIII turbo targa with an auto transmission. It does not move in reverse, it just revs the engine and sits there. On the MKIII TECH forum, I saw a link that said the Throttle Cable (line pressure cable, kick down cable) needs adjusting. I went to the engine side and pulled the...

    Driveline Questions....Here are the answers!

    There are 3 different drivelines for the MKIII, 86.5-92 Supra....W58 (Usually Non-Turbo) Manual, R154 (Usually Turbo) Manual, and Auto (Both NA and Turbo). As you can see, they are all different lengths with the W58 (Top) and R154 (Bottom) looking very close. The Auto (Middle) driveline is...

    7M-GTE wont start after a rebuild

    Check your engine relay in the fuse box in the engine bay and check the two fuses in the driver kick panel that run the engine relay...had the same problem...it was the kick panel fuses....

    Problems starting?

    Opened it up....the CPS was off, by what appears to be one tooth! Apparently when you install them, you must rotate it slightly from what is shown in the TSRM so that when it is inserted, it will rotate to the correct spot. Maybe a better way, is to take the cover off when installing it so you...

    Problems starting?

    I have checked all the air and vacuum connections, they are all tight. I have had them apart several times to get at the CPS and made sure they were tight when I put it back together. About the only thing I have not done is to open the CPS to look at the insides and line it up. I had taken...

    Problems starting?

    This sounds awfully familiar....I just did a HG on an 87 turbo 5speed....went to crank it and it turns over but no firing. Checked for fuel and spark, have both. Rechecked the Timing, TDC on the crank and cam marks are straight up....pulled cam sensor and made sure it was aligned...

    EGR Malfunction? Water in Intake, BHG...

    You are probably right about messing up a hose....but on the EGR, I know that there is a port on each side of the head that allows exhaust gas to flow from the exhaust side to the intake side, there is also a metal screw in plug (it looks like the ones that holds the 3rd valve cover on) that is...

    EGR Malfunction? Water in Intake, BHG...

    I recently did a head gasket replacement on a 7MGTE. When finished, I started the car and water was bubbling out between the exhaust manifold and the head. I decided that I had not connected something correctly so I took it all apart and start over. When I got the upper intake manifold off, I...

    Are these Ground or Hot?

    I found these wires while reinstalling my wirning harness on an 87 Turbo 5 speed. They are also on an 86.5 NA 5 speed I have. Both are having a rewire as I reinstall the engines. Are these hot wires or ground wires? On one of the cars, they were installed on the bolt connected to the...

    Question on coil pack/harness and voltage/resistance

    This thread intrigues me. I am having a problem with my 89 turbo not starting at times. Sometimes it won't start when cold, and a few times would not start when hot. No codes either. The last time it did it, it died while driving and would not restart until the next day when it was cold. I...
