    Yet another alternator charging issue.

    What is the voltage reading when the lights are not on? Where did you buy the alternator? I have gotten 3 DOAs in a row from autozone in the past, then 2 from pepboys, then finally a good one from toyota. Since bumps seem to affect the problem have you checked simple things like cleaning the...

    The Great Tool Debate

    It's a hit and miss with the snapon rep too... I have one ten minutes from my house that I can call whenever and he will repair/replace right out of his house. I only use snapon for ratchets though, so the truck is guaranteed to have some in stock. When it comes to sockets, I saw a kobalt 14mm...

    Cams ok, vacuum help needed

    One of my cars had a headgasket done before I had gotten it, instead of checking the head for warpage the machine shop had simply decked it so it had a flat surface but was warped, which warped the cams. I ended up replacing the entire head. What do the cam journals look like? Are the cams...

    Revaluing the dinar... someone please help me grasp this

    I'm with you and agree with you, but for arguments sake, is it possible for Iraq's economy to grow exponentially when oil is tapped, and is being sold properly? Would this take too long?

    Revaluing the dinar... someone please help me grasp this

    Revaluing the dinar... someone please help me grasp this

    Recently someone told me that the best investment I can make is to purchase 1000 US dollars worth of Iraqi dinars, and wait for them to be revalued, at which point they will be worth almost as much as the USD, multiplying my initial 1000 by 1000 when I sold my newly revalued dinars. I have...

    Maft Pro Tuning question

    I haven't installed anything to lock it into gears, I think I'll just stay out of boost until I'm 5 speed.

    Have you named your supra(s)?

    All my cars usually have a name, my two supras I usually refer to as poopra just because it is fun to say. I like to give personalities to the supras as they seem to have them. My supra recently decided it needed a metal headgasket, so it blew it's old one, then it decided that instead of...

    No Start, Have spark, fuel, and air, codes 22,24,32,51

    What would your fix be? Those sensors do not exist anymore, and this prevents codes from occurring because of their absence... What do you propose to fix the issue?
  12. TomFraser

    Error code 24, 31 and 52.

    Both codes 24 and 31 are from the AFM, make sure it's plugged in properly Code 52 is a knock sensor problem, the wires going to the knock sensors fail, or they could be damaged. Knock sensors are under the intake take a peak and see if there are any hanging wires.

    Timing questions

    I found top dead center before I had the timing belt on so the cams were freely adjustable, they are both set with the timing marks on the gears lined up with the timing marks on the cover behind them

    Maft Pro Tuning question

    I have been trying to tune my car well with my maft pro and have run into an issue. When I first floor it, the tranny downshifts and the turbo spools to 1 bar. For about 3 seconds it runs at about (13-14ish I know this is very lean for boost) then it goes to the 11 ratio I am looking for. I...

    Timing questions

    No start

    Sorry, totally forgot to mention that it does not start when using starting fluid. My G1 pickup is not working, I have spark, but if one pickup was not working would spark timing be off? BTW: I'm putting the following because it took me a bit of time to find them, and I want it to be easier...
