    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    Sometimes the crank pulley can slip on its internal rubber dampener making the 0 mark no longer 0. You can check that with a chopstick stuck in the spark plug hole.

    A jumped belt or other timing problem can result in across the board loss of compression.

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    I installed new Illumina2s about 5 years ago. The OEM shocks were worn out and the front end was very bouncy and loose. The I2s were a huge improvement. I found them to be well controlled on the normal setting, and a bit too stiff on sport for around town. My memory of the OEM shocks when new is...

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    B+ is powered up by the EFI Main Relay. The operation you see is normal. BATT is the only feed that is always hot. That said, the CEL should be on with ignition if the engine is not rotating. Are you saying when you turn on the ignition with the key, prior to cranking, no CEL is visible?

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    Seems like a fuel problem then. Do you have fuel pressure? Check for injector operation using a noid light. Given you have spark, it is pretty likely the injectors are firing. That assumes you have got rid of the code 11, which it seems you have.

    87 Supra Preservation/Modernization Build (Lots of pics!!!)

    My car has a similar heat soak issue but less serious, it doesn't stall, just runs rough and at a low idle speed. I've datalogged the ecu during this behavior and what I see is that the ox sensor reads lean on startup (which is normal) but does not want to trip over to rich. The ecu ramps...

    7mgte Mine's ECU questions

    I've only looked at the Techtom ECU, and the mods to it were like Reynald noted, just pretty minor changes. If anyone wants to loan me a Mines ECU I can download the software and tell you what they changed.

    You should get a code 12 with bad CPS wiring. Just saying before you go down that path.

    Yes it is. They still can be ordered as far as I know. Driftmotion sells them on their website.

    Replacing the EGR cooler gasket without removing the motor or head

    Just use the Toyota gasket and you will be good. I've never heard of any issues with the oem gasket.

    Adjusting tokico illumina 2 for tems

    The tems shocks have no stops, they turn as many times as you want. All that matters is the position as shown below. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FA&P=37

    Fuel hose or no? Anyone help please

    It's for measuring your gas tank boost! We already know it goes to the gas tank, at least when it left the factory that is.

    The Small Questions Thread

    Penzoil Platinum is an excellent oil that is usually ~$25. Well regarded by those who know. Never heard of the "plus" part though.

    Freshly built 7mgte starts but no crank. HELP!!!

    Let the car sit overnight, then pull the oil drain plug. The water will settle out underneath the oil, and you will get a gush of clear water when you undo the drain plug. If you don't see that, then its probably something else like the assembly lube. If you do have water in the oil then most...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Yes, 19ms would be with the stock 440s and AFM, but the available injector time is fixed regardless of injector size. Going to larger injectors, like Reynald has with his setup, allows the injector time to be scaled back and avoid 100%. Then the challenge is at idle where the duration goes...

    how to adjust lex v8 afm

    Simplest approach is to tune for Vf=2.5V at cruise with light throttle. Then you have the AFM/injectors centered to the factory tune.
