No blown fuses but today I did find a knock sensor wire unplugged well the wire is hanging on by a thread and it came unplugged from the sensor can that cause it to not run? If so I need to rewire it. Is there a thread on rewireing them? thanks again

Ok so no codes stored, need to start the process of elimination should I start at the cps or the igniter?

No its not out of gas I had just filled it up with gas (70.00 bucks by the way) so I know it not out of gas I only drove it about 30 miles or so I'll check the codes and get back with you.

Ok the jiggle mod didn't work. Before it died I was going about 25 or so and I hit the gas and it cut out a couple times but keept going with no problems almost like it deied and then roared back to life. It wasn't fuel cut cause I'm on stock boost and bypass valve, it had a tendensy to kind of...

Ok I will hvyman, but if it turns out to be that how do I go about fixing it. I don't think I can just walk into my work and order a new connector but I could be wrong have been before. But sure I'll jiggle it and jiggle with lol. Anybody want pictures?!!

Ok I'll check the wiring in the morning. Anybody around belton, missouri tha could lend a hand maybe? Just asking I'm not the best at electrical problems, I can do but it just gets frustrating to me lol, probaly everybody else to. Can an igniter be tested in some way to be sure it works...

Well I was making a left hand turn tonight alomost home and the supra died. Far as I can tell there is no spark going to the coils. I pulled a wire grounded it and no spark, tried another same thing till I checked all the coils. Next I checked the grounds they seem fine I used my test light to...

Will do Gonna check it today after I get the new speedomiter cable on. Will post results later.

Could I use some soapy water in spray bottle like I've done with a vaccum leak? Otherwise I could just feel around I'll also try changing out my clamps to the lines maybe that will help too. My friend who was following me the other night said when I take off it blows black smoke for a second...

So I work at a parts store, and I was curious what type of plug belongs in my 88 turbo, to my suprise it said oem was a double platnium plug (sorry if I spelled it wrong). Is that true or have they done like ford and updated this over the years. Right now I'm running autolite copper plugs and...

I shall do that. What kind of paint brands are best and which brands have pedople used on their cars?

The stock color is that reddish copper.

Yeah I've owned a black car a couple of times. I talked to a guy the other day who is just starting a body shop and he said its alot easier to paint it the origanal color. Then you don't have to worry about door jams and engine bay yada. Seems like the chepiest way to go but I'm not sure if I...
