Exactly. You should not be able to just pull it right off like that. It is a wire about 6 inches long. It goes from the base coil pack foundation where the 3 coil packs seat onto. On this foundation is a screw (use a philips screwdriver) and the wire is attached on there with an eye ring...

When I had this problem it ended up my 16 year old stock downpipe had a huge crack in it and it was just hanging there. Lots of noise - very loud. I could smell the exhaust in the engine bay. Can you smell anything in the cabin while driving? You can take a peek in the engine when it is...

I had the same problem. Ended up one coil pack was bad. You can check the coil packs with a multimeter for voltage and resistance. You can check your spark plugs to see if they are still good and also the gaps. How old are your spark plug wires? Is the ground to the coil pack assembly OK...

Yes, very true about the MK3 becoming obsolete. I don't care. My car has a production sticker of September 1986. It is almost 20 years old and is a classic car -- an 80's car. But remember that the MK3 is a unique car, they don't make em anymore and a lot of the parts have moved to...

I went to a local airport to an 1/8 mile "flashlight" race and beat: 1- 1987 Mustang GT stock 2- 1990 Lincoln Mark VII with a modified Mustang GT motor 3- 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Supercharged stock Cars that gave me some trouble 1- 1987 Buick Grand National modified (very close race -...

Off topic - yea sorry about that guys. I was too lazy to see that there was an Off-Topic subject area. I know: "you newbie"... I really think Toyota will launch a new Supra eventually and they will move from the inline 6 to either a V-6 or a V-8. Turbo will move to supercharged. Badged...

I know this has been talked about a ton since 2001 and this is not completely technical or about the MK3 but I thought everyone would enjoy it. It seems Toyota may have finally given in. Here is a picture from Road and Track. It is expected to be a V-8. :dunno: Click the link below for...

I also have to take my ISC apart and clean the inside of it. Does it have to be reassembled a certain way? The only thing I did so far was check the resistance of the plug (as the TSRM suggests) and it was in spec. I also left it unplugged and the car did start but pulsated in the RPM range...

Range for timing, anyone?

I am surprised at how durable and long-lasting the MK3 parts are. I have the original TPS, CPS, ISC valve, starter, igniter, and it is a 1987 Turbo with 125,000 miles. I did have a BHG at 110,000 miles but the original turbo was still OK. Some owners with other turbo cars go through many...

Thanks for the previous inputs. I purchased a Sears timing gun and was wondering what degree to set the timing to as 10.5 is for the stock spec. I have the Lexus/550 mod with an electronic boost controller. I usually boost to 12 PSI. Is there a range anyone can give me as far as degrees...
