problems with my baby

[cartel1_950]

she hasn't been runnin well at all latley. no power at all, she bogs down on any hill and hasn't built any boost in months. i'm not leaking oil, i'm not blowing and smoke no error codes and toyota says she's running fine but she really isn't. i need help so any ideas you guys have helps out tons. thanks guys

Check to see that your bypass valve is working correctly, and check your spark plugs. Also look for boost leaks.

would a compression problem account for problems like this??

 

[bigal0043]

do you have low compression numbers? are u overheating at all? if so then sounds like a bhg

 

[cartel1_950]

no overheating at all. and i just had the BHG replaced at the dealership with no modifictions since then.

Check the Vac hoses.

 

[cartel1_950]

is there anything else that i should have a look at. with no codes to go on i can't really start at one place. there isn't anything visabley wrong. the hoses are a little worn but i'm replacing them all with metal. even goin up hills the RPM's drop. she has no punch left so i'm a little worried it's time to give up on this one

It really does sound like spark plug problems, the gaping may be off, or thye just might need to be replaced.
if its not showing the common signs of BHG then its prolly not BHG.

 

[cartel1_950]

thanks guys i've got some work to do. if you guys can keep pumping out the options that would be great. the more the merrier

Has it run correctly since having the BHG repaired? If not, I am betting they didn't get the timing between the crank and cams correctly.

 

[cartel1_950]

yeah i was running fine. even with the BHG it was running great. there was no noticable difference when the replaced it but now she is just running like junk so i don't know how to explian it

 

[cartel1_950]

thanks alot guys. i've been trying to work this kink out and so far no luck. this supra community is the bomb
