    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I didn't burp my system because I didn't see the water bubbling and didn't think there would be air in the system. I'll burp it anyways tomorrow. No exhaust smell under the cap or coolant reservoir. Also there's no white smoke blowing from the exhaust and i don't seem to be losing...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I forgot to mention that my radiator light is no longer on. Also I already replaced with another fan and clutch that's in good working condition. I also have a partial fan shroud, but I doubt that is the reason why my car is overheating.

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I finally got my car up to start again, and it's still overheating. I also got it compression tested and got 145 on all cylinders. The previous owner told me it was rebuilt so maybe he wasn't lying about that.

    Car not starting

    Yea I also thought it was my CPS, so I went through 3 of them (all purchased from members from here), and the last one I purchased, the end of the plugs were out. I just super glued the end so it won't fall out and it's still not starting. I actually didn't check my igniter, and I only assumed...

    Car not starting

    I jumped the fuel pump and I can hear it working. Also I forgot to mention that my car doesn't spark. I checked the coil pack, spark plugs, igniter, and ignition switch; they're all fine.

    Car not starting

    Not too long ago, I had a mechanic install another cps and my car ran fine. Then about 3 days later my car won't start; however it does crank. I checked ohms on the coil pack and it was within specs. Igniter is good; spark plugs are fairly new (got them 2 months ago); fuses are good; fuel...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    Yea, I'm having the same problem; my car starts to overheat if I stay in idle too long. And I'm still waiting for my lower radiator hose to come in. I noticed a bulge right after the connection to the radiator. As for the temperature, the top hose was super hot and the bottom was hot...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    Yea I'm going to replace the radiator hoses, the o ring for the cps, and those sensors i got from you. If those don't do it, then I'll hit you up. There's no white smoke at all, but I do see some smoke coming from around the cps. It might be my power steering fluid or something since it's...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I basically replaced everything - thermostat, waterpump, radiator, and radiator cap. However, the only thing left is the hoses, so I'm hoping that's the cause of the over heating at high speeds problem. Thanks.

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I just recently purchased my car, so I'm not familiar with all the parts on it. However the radiator itself is not the stock one that's 10+ years old. It seems fairly new. I'm assuming and hoping it's just my lower radiator hose too. I'll check out my lower hose tomorrow and let you know if...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    I'll replace my radiator when I get my next check. However, are there any other possibilities as to why it overheats on the free way? If not, I guess I have to replace my radiator and get a few fan shroud. Additionally, has anyone tried Redline Water Wetter? They claim to reduce...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    Yes it's the original radiator. What's wrong with the original one? Visually, it looks good. Thanks.

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    Yea my radiator cap is working fine. The only thing I can think of is my fan shroud. Also I put in another fan because my old one was messed up. I noticed the fan that put on is a tiny bit larger in diameter compared to my old one.

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    Thanks for the help everyone. I already replaced the thermostat and water pump. I found that I had the first problem on your list. I had air in the system and I didn't refill enough coolant to the proper amount as well. It now "seems" to do fine (on the streets that is). Whenever I hit...

    Car overheating and radiator light on

    My car overheats fast. Additionally, I opened up my radiator cap just after 1-2 minutes from starting up and a lot of coolant bust out everywhere. My radiator light comes on as well (I never knew supras have a radiator light). Also, where is the sensor located for the radiator light? What...

    Failed smog test

    Ok I finally found out why my car was running rich. The wires for the CTS was messed up and it was the same for my o2 sensor wires. However, I now have a new problem lol. But I'll make a new thread for it since it doesn't relate to this thread topic. Thanks and one problem was finally solved....

    Failed smog test

    Here's the codes I got: 42, 43, 51, and 71. I checked my throttle position sensor with my dmm and the resistance wasn't according to specs, so I'm pretty sure I have a bad a tps. I'm saying pretty sure because my dmm was acting weird for some reason. And how do you check the cold start...

    Failed smog test

    Already had the numbers ran and it was codes that are related to a automatic vehicle. Things like parking and other crap that doesn't relate to a manual car. Also, something about an egr, but that was because a hose wasn't connected on the egr. That's all the codes that were shown Another...

    Failed smog test

    That's what I'm afraid of. I don't think my car is running rich solely due to the o2 sensor. I'm thinking I might as well do a coolant flush and change out water-pump, thermostat, o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, cat, spark plugs, and possibly even change out my ecu. I mentioned before...

    Failed smog test

    Yes it has cats and is turbo (ct-26). So I found out today that I need o2 sensors, vss, my intake hose has a crack at the end which might be giving the maf sensor false readings, and one of the hoses around the egr was disconnected. Also my car was originally automatic and it was converted to...
