    Oil leaking from back of block

    I had the same issue a few years back, sure enough it was the back of one of the valve covers leaking on mine. Definitly invest in some better hardware when you reinstall the valve covers, I went with stainless steel allen head bolts. they make retorquing much easier as you can use a long allen...

    Every now and then...

    While driving my '87 Supra which has a 7MGE and a 5spd I will notice what appears to be a miss (engine sputters, tach needle flutters). I've tried to narrow down the problem and have replaced the Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, etc. this past week. The distributor and TPS, EGR valve...

    Hey everyone, Figures that everytime I spend some money and do something nice for the car she acts up. I just got finished doing the brakes all around on my '87 Supra yesterday only to be woken up at 2:30 this morning by the sound of the factory alarm going off, I ran outside in my underwear...

    7MGE Will not idle correctly, please help.

    Thanks guys, i put a brand new Tps on the engine and it seems to have fixed the idling issues but i'm still having a problem with the engine kind of cutting out or losing power between 2 and 3 thousand rpm under load. almost as if it were hitting some sort of fuel cut? could this just mean i...

    Drivetrain issues.

    Check Suprasport.com for the energy suspension bushing kits, they just started to carry them maybe a month ago. Also, dont make the same mistake I did... A replacement carrier bearing for the driveshaft is rather expensive and that two piece shaft is a piece of garbage anyway ( I twisted two of...

    7MGE Will not idle correctly, please help.

    Hey Guys, I'm working on a 1987 N/A 5spd transmission car. I have put almost 40 thousand miles on the car since rebuilding the engine after it blew the headgasket at 121,000 with no problems what so ever...untill now... Whats happening is that the car would not idle any lower than 1,100 rpm. I...

    Rough idle, smells like its running rich

    alright, now i'm pretty thoroughly pissed....i put on a new TPS, calibrated it per the TSRM and now the car will not idle at all, it was pulling a code 41 so i cleared it, after putting the 15A EFI fuse back in and starting the car it would just not idle for anything, i'm out of ideas....

    Rough idle, smells like its running rich

    i found a good junkyard near the shop i work at that has about 6 mk3 and maybe 2 Mk2 supras so next time i'm down there i'm going to grab a couple sensors....the guys over there have been great to me, they let me STRIP a 1987 turbo of everything i could take off of it for 300 bucks, lol....

    Rough idle, smells like its running rich

    Hmmmm...good call, i'll attempt to calibrate it, but i cant see how the calibration would be fine for 2 years after i rebuilt the engine and then just take a crap, it seemed logical that it was the fact i reused a 20 year old sensor....from what i hear quite a few people have been having the...

    Rough idle, smells like its running rich

    Yeah....replaced all the vacuum hoses not even a month ago....checked again for leaks, found nothing.....this is killing me, i checked my MAF,TPS,ISC with an ohm meter and the only thing i got a shady ready on was the TPS, i have a feeling it might not be sending a false signal to my ECU telling...
