bad sensor???

ign5 · 05-08-2008, 06:14 PM

well 1st off hello! I am Russ, Finally got the last car on my list, a 89 Supra Turbo....

picked up the car, has a few issues, but the main 2 can be fixed with maybe the same sensor? thats why i am here, to ask the experts..

So. the cel is on, and in order to get the car to start i have to floor it and it will start right up, if i crank then push the gas it will flood, so i have to floor it crank starts right up...then runs fine idles great runs great, (other then hair dryer effect...but get into that later). so any ideas? i need this fixed asap! because of emissions. it is really bothering me cause i just spent like the last hour trying to get it to start and killed the batt, and waiting for my brother to come and jump me.

I am told that it has a brand new fuel pump, tps, and fuel filter. This is my first Supra, so i dont know anything about them yet. Could it be an Idle Air Control Valve? i was going to run the dtc tester but it wont hook up to the opd2 tester we have at work, please help!

Shops use the same dang books I'm sending you.

You don't need a shop. You need to read and research and ask us here as best you can in as much detail and we'll try to help.

I do what I can when I can do it.
