Forgot to add that my taillight failure indicator on the dash is lit... but my turn signals, side indicators, brake lights (brake depressed and not), hazards, and reverse lights all work as they should...
Hey there folks. Have a 1988 Supra, originally non-turbo/auto, swapped to a turbo/manual. My headlights used to illuminate before the swap, but now they will not.
When I turn the knob on the stalk all the way forward (headlights should turn on), the headlights will pop up but the headlights...
Update on issue: I believe my oil gauge is working now. Before I switched out the sender, the needle was pegged below zero. With the known working sender in, it is sitting at maybe 1-2psi.
(KOEO)
For my headlights issue: I clipped my test light to ground and probed each terminal on the harness...
shit looks like i gotta find new offsets (unless i want to go widebody...)
That's just about the same width and offset that I wanted to go, but hate poke and stretched tires...
the gas smell you're getting is from flooding the cylinders. change out the spark plugs. block the throttle open and crank. holding the throttle open more than 80% with the engine off will cause the fuel injectors to shut off to clear a flood situation
Edit: you should buy a spark plug tester...
Did a spark test today to see if my ignitor could be the issue why I'm not getting a tach signal, and I had no spark.
I have a green plug ignitor coming in a couple of days to check to see if that will rectify my issue with the tach.
I was also able to switch out my oil pressure sender. When I...
Well I've narrowed it down to the sensors, am still trying to get the oil pressure sender out. I'm probably going to end up using an adjustable pipe wrench on the fitting to make sure I have a firm connection.
For water temperature, if I have to drain the liquid inside the cooling system and...

If you want to slam your car, get good parts with a little bit higher spring rate
Hell you can go with Megan Track Series coilovers. They'll allow you to go low enough and have a high enough spring rate with stiff dampening so you won't rub or scrape too badly.
Just don't go with that GS...

could always stick this stuff to your firewall in the engine bay and the trans tunnel to help reflect some of the heat away from the cabin. Might also help to use that on the floors to keep the heat from the exhaust out, too :)
You can use a stock rebuilt one if you wanted. Or if you want to shell out more, the available options that I'm aware of are Tomei, Cusco (RS, MZ), Kaaz, TRD, and I think Carbonetics
So I tested the gauges by connecting my test light's clip to B+ and touched the lead to the sensor's pin on the harness side, with KOEO, and both the oil pressure and water temperature gauges moved toward the high side (as per TSRM specifications)
Only thing left is the sensors. I've sprayed...
Forgot to post that up there. Yes Mike, I will do that.
Just to let you know though, I've used two different sets of gauges, with one set that was working pre-swap :)
But I shall do this test as a means to cross that off the list for sure :)
Alright well I'm going to be swapping out a known working oil pressure sender for the one that's currently on the car. Will be a pain to try to remove, but I know that I can get it out of there. Even if I have to he-man the damn thing loose lol
If installing the new sensors and cleaning my...
