    O2 delete question...

    In addition to the wideband? The Toyota "wideband" that they call the air/fuel ratio sensor operates at a much higher heat range than a standard oxygen sensor. I don't know why yours would not be the same way.

    Alternator

    I just want to see somebody try and put an alternator the size of a 5 gallon bucket on their ride.

    Brake lights stuck on... is constant power to the brake lights normal?

    Taking 1:3.... In all seriousness, why not fix it according to the EWD? If you do, they will work right.

    fog light issue

    Well, check open circuit voltage on the control side of the relay, and the switched side. There is a fuse for the fog lights.

    alignment shop f**ked up my alignment.

    It doesn't work that way. The "old" guy mentioned in the previous post has aligned much more difficult crap like Ford trucks that need camber kits. The Supra is an easy alignment, unless the hardware is frozen.

    cam gear wobble, fearing the worst.

    If you need Loctite, I think you have a vibration problem. Afterall, critical fasteners in the engine get lubricated when installed.

    Fresh Rebuild idle issue's

    Cold start enrichment is rich because it is much easier to light off. When warm, the strategy is leaner.

    You could always go with Niehoff and Leece-Neville.

    alignment shop f**ked up my alignment.

    I don't either. And the OP saying everything is good does not mean it is good. Just read the posts in this place. And that does not take away from the fact that the field is polluted with people that lack the aptitude and education to do the job.

    alignment shop f**ked up my alignment.

    When you do this, the alignment angles are now wrong. There is only so much compensation from the eccentric bolts. Using a torch to heat up rusted/frozen bolts is common practice in areas that have such issues.

    Tokico is Back!

    The Supra doesn't have struts any more than it has a V6 engine.

    Are the springs lower than stock ride height?

    Injectors won't pulse not getting power

    I am not picking on you. You have over looked something.

    89T AFM failure - 7MGTE

    Hz is cycles per second. The cycle in this case is on/off of the signal. This is a function of the Karman Vortex meter. 5 volts on VC and E2 is correct. You do not use voltage to measure the AFM output. You use Hz, which I don't see on your Harbor Freight meter. There is a book spec from Toyota...

    cam gear wobble, fearing the worst.

    The odds of the cylinder head being bad from overheating is very high. The odds of the block also being bad are not nearly as good.

    89T AFM failure - 7MGTE

    If you have 5V at VC (voltage constant) at the meter and no Hz output, then the meter has a problem. You should check against E2 ground.

    smoking on decel ????

    Of course it didn't. It was routed back into the engine, which is the best place to put air saturated with hydrocarbons.

    Spark Plugs?

    Stock is fine.

    89T AFM failure - 7MGTE

    What is 5V running? Both KS and THA, or just KS? If you have 5 volts on any car, as they all have 5V refrence, the resistor is unplugged or open. If it was short (electrically) it would show ground. KS is a frequency measurement. Put your meter on Hz and see what it says at idle.
