cant rev past 2k rpm when driving

[w8me1st]

ok i started 2 hrs ago to research before i go tackle my my own issues. and after all that time i couldn't leave with out saying something. for 1, glad you found your problem. :icon_bigg sounds like you got some slightly used parts to list for sale lol. :biglaugh: not to me, as i have been thru those mods unless mine die between now and when i finally get to my garage). :cry: congrats on your persistance. and just think how much fun the next problem will be. i only laugh cause i've lost all my hair plenty of times and no one in my family is bald. doh! :aigo: luckily it's grown back everytime....

way to hang in there :icon_bigg

haha, suprabad, you knew it all along! an internal dead short, huh? that might be, as i *might* have spilled a little gas on it (which could have seeped into the battery throught the two covers, heh, stupid me, when doing my AFPR install. that would probably do it)

i just realized i lent my friend $60, so i dont have the cash to get a new battery today, but i'll call him and make him give it back, then i'll have enough.

w8me1st: that's a pretty funny story, haha. glad your hair has grown back. , and thanks for the kind words.

sometimes i get tired of fixing little things here and there, but then again im glad i have this to get my mind off of other things.......

car has been running real nice for a few weeks, my car will be ready for the last meet of the season at Etown this saterday, and what do you know? i have a big oil leak some where i have to track down and fix before saterday!

hopefully ill get it done before then, but ill tell you one thing. with all the shit thats going on in my life right now, im glad i have something like this to get my mind off of everyday life.

fixing an oil leak is more fun than dealing with friends and their personal problems

i couldnt agree more. my new job kills me for four days a week. but the money is EXCELLENT. (no less than $450/week!!) that gives me lots of cash to work on the supra, even though right now it still appears to be a POS, it's actually quite nice under the skin.

hopefully i'll be ready for this E-town meet. though, if i do get there, i'll probably be made fun of because my car looks like hell.

haha, suprabad, you knew it all along! -shaeff

That made my day! No problem, I'm here for ya...

As far as the way your ride looks I think someday (soon) you'll have one of the baddest Supras on this forum... I can tell by your attitude...you've got the determination and the follow through, you've certainly proven that!

Folks, you are all great. I've spent well over one hour reading this post and have learned a lot. Like someone posted, this must be the longest post for a thread. For a minute I thought I knew you all, LOL. I own a 86.5 myself and have a few issues with it, but I'll fix them one at a time. I see that persintence is the word. Good job by all the repliers. Now I know where to turn for answers when needed. I'll start posting soon. Thanks

lagged: rusty, front bumper all dented up on the sides and bottom, lip destroyed, still on sawblades, very, very patchy faded paint?

suprabad: glad i made your day starting in springtime, i'm pulling the nose off, all the molding, lights, etc, and painting it for next summer. thanks for the compliments.

jlr1125: this forum is a great community. words cant describe how much i like everyone here. they're all knowledgable, fun people. i'm sure you'll find the answers to your questions.

And... Did a new battery do you car any good?

Looking forward to see the 'I drove for a while and killed xxx cars on the way' post.

 

[shaeff]

haha, my 'friend' wont return my calls. (though he's a culinary institue of america student= EXTREMELY BUSY) i get paid tonight, so perhaps i'll get a new battery tomorrow.

-shaeff

 

[lagged]

heh whod you mess with for that sig.

yeah sounds worse than mine. i have no rust but badly faded paint. sawblades as well!

 

[shaeff]

that's CK inducting me into the realm of supermod's.

Shaeff, when's your garage queen gonna take it's first voyage...keep us posted, try to keep your foot out of it for at least a little while huh? :biglaugh:

 

[shaeff]

haha, it's more like a lawn/driveway ornament. haha.

it would have taken it's maiden voyage after all the upgrades today, but my friend (yes, the one who owed me $60) paid me back last night. well, today he blew out a tire about 20 miles from my house, and called me to help him. so i did that instead of getting a new battery. whatever. i'll do it tomorrow. i have no obligations during the day, so i hopefully will be able to drive it around for a while. maybe fill the tank up a bit...

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: WHAT ABOUT ME????I'M STILL HAVING MY PROBLEMS..... :cry: WHY CAN'T MINES BE FIX....... :aigo:

 

[shaeff]

aww... :: pats steve on shoulder :: it'll get better, i promise

[suprabad]

I look forward to hearing about the drive! I'll pray.

 

[shaeff]

well, i took it out for a spin today. i've got a shifty idle, i think it's a small vacuum leak. tomorrow, i'll figure out where the vacuum leak is coming from. i have almost NO vacuum lines, so it should be easy to find.

i didnt boost at all, because i only have a few gallons of gas, and it's low octane, so that wouldnt be too smart. i'm probably going to end up going to the gas station tomorrow, hopefully i'll have almost no gas left, and then i'll put some 93 in it and drive it around a bit.

then maybe i'll boost! i'm just happy to have driven it!

edit, for those of you wondering why i have low octane gas in the supra:

while i was troubleshooting it, and thought it was the fuel system, i had the tank in and out so much that it would have been very expensive to put high octane gas in it, so to simply get it running, i put low octane in.

i'll put some 93 in it and drive it around a bit...then maybe i'll boost! -shaeff

May the turbo Gods be with you.
