    Small fans stay on all the time when the ign is in on position

    Can you read a wiring diagram? I ask because many say they can't. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=144 A/C high pressure switch could be closed electrically, or the water temp switch number 2 could be closed electrically. When closed the relay is activated...

    Your 4 year old thread came up in a search so, click here. There is a big variance, as with any car, over tires. The change is from 146 feet to 123 feet.

    Interesting "Now it won't start" situation

    He already knows the injectors are not firing, so all he really needs to check is B+ KEOE. That will isolate power supply or grounding through the PCM.

    Interesting "Now it won't start" situation

    Having fuel come out of the rail under pressure is a good sign too. The PCM grounds the injectors in gang fire order. Power is constant. Something isn't plugged in. The other choice is code 12, which is the CPS. The wiggle test is a great test for wiring, but it can be bad and not start with...

    Interesting "Now it won't start" situation

    It is most likely directly related to your swap. Meaning disconnect and then reconnect. PCMs don't just fail, unlike what people here seem to think. The fuel system, like the pump, could have collected corrosion while sitting and that is why you have no fuel. Does it run with B+ and Fp jumped...

    air conditioning

    They do with all the gorillas that seem to work in automotive that think hand tight valves need to be tightened to 500 lb/ft. Then they say the Robinair machine is junk. Good advice. Water vaporizes at low pressure, but it still has to pump out. Occasionally I see some manufacturers wrongly...

    No tach, dash lights or temp gauge

    Illumination, tach, and water temp are all on plug "A". It's worth a check.

    Code 52 engine light

    There is missing information to come to a conclusion other than it isn't all good, as you were told. The other choice is the ECU.

    CODE 14 HELP needed

    Sure. Even the 7MGE cranks out a bunch of BTUs, and 1987 or so was a long time ago. The wiring takes a beating over time from heat. And you have salt water in your air to help make it worse.

    Hood insulation

    What I have seen is they are not willing to do any leg work. This is why I buy what I do online.

    CODE 14 HELP needed

    What wires are new? Meaning, what have you replaced? 14 means spark is not confirmed. When that happens, injection is halted. To not have spark also means something is not hooked up. Without a pickup signal, you will also have code 12. And no spark.

    Where is that Lexus AFM writeup?

    Here is the original. Then read through the TCCS disassembly thread.

    Running LEAN after upgrades

    Until the PCM gets the knock sensor signal, the 52 will be set and timing will be retarded and enrichment will happen.

    TEMS hack?

    The controller needs the steering angle, brake, and throttle position to work.

    Stumbling at 5psi

    Putting your foot on the throttle while TE1 and E1 are shorted will do it also. You don't have to floor it, just open the IDL contacts to set it.

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    HKS downpipe. There are better choices, but the price was right. And it is better than many that out flow it because it has the flex joint.

    1989 MkIII Supra often refuse to crank over when hot

    You beat the odds by a large amount. Heat soak 101. Heat soak. Heat increases resistance. On the old wires with corrosion on the inside that you don't see (assuming the posts are accurate) it is worse. It is dropping nearly 4 volts. Do the voltage drop test on both wires, especially the large one.

    Looking for LIPP Turbo Elbow Specifications

    In my opinion, it is a replica of the HKS sport turbo pieces. So yes, it bolts to the turbine and down pipe. Or an aftermarket down pipe when they say it is compatible with the stock elbow. Mine is not for sale. It is on the Boss Jr.
