no i didnt have the problems before i changed the plugs. I had to change the plugs to get it started because the hole that the plugs go in was flooded with oil n wasnt getting any spark. I drove it around the block once and the ride was rough as can be. Ill take it for a longer drive today and...

yea oil was in the first 2 holes n i cleaned it out really good and changed all the spark plugs and spark plug cables however one of the spark plugs i have in their is a non turbo(they gave me the wrong one at the store). but was told that is not why the car is running like that.

i think the motor is burning oil because there is a little smoke coming from the exhaust manifold area that i think may be because of an oil leak. N as for the spark plugs i had to change them because they were so flooded with oil that the car wasnt getting any spark and wasnt starting. But...

well theres no oil in the radiator and before these problems and when i changed the oil it looked normal. the car doesnt overheat at all. The only thing i notice is alot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust and when i start the rpm gauge stick is all the down by zero which never does that...

im not sure if my car has a blown head gastket but it seems like its missing and smoke is coming out of the exhaust when i rev it up(more than usual) and also smoke comes out of that area im not sure whats the proper name but its where you pour the oil in...whenever i take the cap off...also i...

and to add to that when i put the oil in it was 10w30 synthetic i usually put it 10w40 synthetic. Sum1 said it was ok. so any info would be appreciated

ok i changed the spark plugs and it runs better now but still its a little shaky. It sounds like its missing still. i just found out the spark plugs i put in were the wrong ones. their for non-turbo but still it shouldnt be missing tho...right? when i rev the rpm up to 5 or more when it...

ok so this is what happened i parked my car one night n the next morning it wont start. It wasnt getting any spark so i assumed it was the ignitor. Checked it out n it wasnt the ignitor. Noticed that where the spark plugs are there was alot of oil. So i removed all the spark plugs cleaned it...

just out of curiosity how much would it cost for a 1jz including labor?

i would love to get a 2jz but its too expensive. I was told that every all together including labor would add up to about $8000

what about gas mileage. how many mpg do each one of these engine averages. i kno these are probaly basic questions but i just got my first supra so im new to this.

what about the 7m? how reliable are they? and also with 166k on it do you think it can survive long distance drives? lets say something like 4-5hr going and coming back?

Since I will be driving my supra on a daily basis I need a more reliable engine than a 7m with 166k miles. I dont know much about 1j or 2j so for those of you who do know...which one is more reliable?

thanks for the replies i havent had the time yet to check it out but one thing i did was pour some coolant into it because the light to the left that looks like a dome comes on and stays on even after i added the coolant. im not sure as to why it doesnt go away. I noticed the heat comes on...

Air is coming out but it does not get warm anymore. I hear water behind the dash does that have anything to do with it? Any help will be appreciated as it is getting cold and i need to get this fixed. Thank you

the area is about the size of a baseball or maybe slighty bigger

i have a supra thats white with a pearl micca effect. a small part of the fender needs to be touched up a little and they dont sell the white pearl micca in a spray can. so for now i wanna touch it up with a color thats close to it. anyone know what type of white will be better?

I took it to a mechanic today and he said its the clutch gone bad. Its not completely gone but its almost there. So now i have to get a new clutch..how much will that cost to get a good one not too expensive though?

ok well i got another person to check out the car today and apparently its not because of too much oil. They were saying that it could be the clutch. Im going to do the code check tomorrow and see what comes up.

ok the problem is that i put too much oil in which is weird because everytime i checked the dipstick it kept coming up empty which is why i kept putting more in. I drove the car for about 30-45min like this..do you think that would mess the engine up? im in brooklyn
