    starter issues

    Toyota reman starters cost more money, and for good reason.

    Isn't this the spot on the internet where people are supposed to type "lol"?

    Crankshaft " Pulley" ????!!!

    Toyota sold far more of everything else than the Supra and Cressida. The main point from my post was the link.

    Crankshaft " Pulley" ????!!!

    Why can you understand the damper to be difficult and not the gear? They both are on the same crankshaft. For the record, I have slid off many Toyota timing gears without a pulley. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=25

    Diagnostic Codes 14 and 43 - Intermittent failure to start, cranks ok

    Common rail Ford diesels act pretty stupid when B+ dips. And when it dips far enough, a relay opens. So, yeah, pretty much.

    Diagnostic Codes 14 and 43 - Intermittent failure to start, cranks ok

    43 doesn't mean you have a problem cranking, it means the ECU is not seeing 12v applied to the starter with the ignition circuit in the crank position. STA makes sure the injection and spark timing are altered for cranking speed and because there is not yet a usable engine speed and load signal...

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    They are not in. And they are not available. I have found them from different dealers that just have them left over.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    You need two stock resistors in parallel to maintain the correct current with the high/low relay set up. I didn't do the math, but didn't feel the need to double check somebody.

    Oil and Oil filter. What do you use?

    x 2 Gravity has nothing to do with it. Do you live in Socal or someplace warm in the winter?

    ABS issues

    In the real world, this is a quick and easy check. Rotate the tire and watch the voltage. A scope is even better. Good to go? Then you have a harness/ECU problem based on your testimony earlier in the thread.

    High Beam and Fog Light Issues After HID Retrofit

    I remember that "tech" story. I quit reading after they brought up finding the fog lamp relay.

    Running rich as #@*&

    It is just the internet. Anyway, that doesn't look like 7.6-10.2 to me. There is excessive carbon at the top of the threads, but not the tip. If it was 7.6, it would smoke like an industrial diesel with only a little bit of throttle. And it might have a hard time running at all. I think you...

    7MGTE Ignitor Operation & Alternative Ignition Coils

    I miss read what he wrote. Shame on me. The igniter sets it according to the 850 book, and I thought he was saying that.

    Running rich as #@*&

    Show a picture of some spark plugs right after running. High resolution, none of that cell phone shit. Or tablet, or any other idiot millennial contraption that is not a camera.

    High Beam and Fog Light Issues After HID Retrofit

    That damn integration relay...Actually, I would have to put my nose in a Toyota book, which I have not done in some time. But I can take Dirgle's word for it. It depends on how you wire the fog lamp. I wired it similar to the Canada models. The switch only controls the relay and stays low...
