Yeah I figured it wouldn't be the ground but did it anyways. The rotor looked pretty new actually so I didn't think it would be the problem. The problem was that the rotor was too short and causing the excess spark and bridging everywhere. I bought the car with this problem so I guess previous...

Guess what guys. After rechecking doing grounds still had same issues. I took it to my uncles shop and left it there over night. He came back around and told me the rotor cap in the dizzy was the wrong one. He said it was too short and wide. He said once he got the right part everything was...

Poodles, thanks for the feedback, your post haven't gone ignored, I have been through 3 brand new sets of spark plug wires, 1 NGK brand and 2 pepboys brands. I returned them thinking they were deffective as I thought that same exact thing, but i think there is a short somewhere. Its just wierd...

K thanks ill get sand paper and go through the grounds just to make sure. As far as cable connection the are in all the way. To make sure I pulled the sleeves back and put in the cable, I then pushed the rubber boot into place.

yeah thats what i was told but I have already gone through 3 new sets of plug wire sets. Its wierd because the other plug cables do not shock you at all. Only the one from the coil to the distro. This morning i turned it on and it had a rough idle. I moved the plug cable up to where it...

Thanks for the input, i'll recheck the grounds. The cap is brand new and I did test each spark plug is getting spark by removing one by one and watching the spark.

I'm using ngk 8mm and also used 7mm coil cable pro start brand from pepboys.

The car idles wierd sometimes. At night if I pop the hood and the cable is close to metal you can see little electricity lines that go towards the metal. I changed the distributor cap. I bought two separate sets of spark plug cable sets and all have done the same thing. All other cables...

Issue us fixed. I replaced the afm and when I started the car it was still acting up, so I check the sparkplug wires and I was getting shocked by the cable that comes from the coil. Turns out there was a crack in the coil and in the distributor cap. The car starts up fine everytime now after...

Thanks, Today I created new terminals for the water temp gauge, oil pressure gauge and created a ground cable. It had a lead at the head but no wire so I bought some wire and mounted it ot the body. Also fixed the heater, there was a vacum line disconnected on the passenger side of the engine...

Hey thanks for the response. We found out the Cold start injector was new and replaced by the old owner, he also put in a new 02 sensor. I tested the sensors and they all turned out good except for the AFM. Ohms read as follows: afm vc-e2=278 vs-e2 =no reading. tha-e2=2.5 Last night was a...

Same thing is still happening. I let the car cool off for 4 hours and went back to start it but I disconnected I blieve the cold start injector. Its a sensor on top of the intake manifold runners. I just unclipped it and the car started and didn't miss or anything. I reved it a couple times...

I didn't see any codes when doing the jumper thing. I checked grounds from where I can see an everything looks connected. We also though of the injectors but if it was the injectors it would idle bad even when warm right? Today I started her up, went through the normal misses and...

My Cleaning supplies minus the vacume:naughty:

Results after the clean up. 10x better if not more. lol. Some spots look dirty but they were just wet. I was almost all the stains out including stains in the seats. :aigo: I also went to pepboys as it was in desparate need of car seat covers for the front as the leather was all ripped. I...

The Cleanup begins. I tore out the carpet in the trunk as it was really bad. I took out all the seats, Vacummed all carpet and seats and began with stain/smell remover.

Hello, my name is Cesar Tapia. The opportunity came up for me to purchase my friends 87 supra. It has a lot of things wrong with it but I have always been a fan of supras and decided to purchase it to restore it. A few things that were wrong were, Intake manifold leaks, EGR hooked up...

Hello I picked up this 87 toyota supra sport top for $500. It had an issue with missfiring when cold and when warm. I took it to my uncles shop as he is a mechanic and it turned out there was a few things wrong. What they tested. Spark on each cable on the distributor side and on...
