Car wont start hot

carfanatic89 · 10-23-2008, 02:02 AM

As far as parts go the 4 best places to buy parts from are: Rockauto.com, Horsepowerfreaks.com, partstrain.com and ebay.com (in that order) . Yeah maybe when I get alittle farther in life I might be able to work on the supra. Im only 19 and I have plenty of time to get another supra or fix this one. But at the moment I need a ride that can take me back and forth to work relaibly. My supra is the reason I got fired and had to come back home to live with my parents. Im ready to get the hell out of the house again. lol

But still it eats me up to not know whats wrong with this car. I love my car and I dont wanna quit, but I have to do whats best for my situation.

Find someone else with a supra and ask if you could borrow their ecu for like 10 minuets, just swap it and see if it solves the problem, if it does there you go, if not move on from there

Your a funny guy, lol im the only and I mean only person with a supra. Im known as the guy who has a supra. there aren't to many people in the country that own a supra. I try to explain the parts and what they do and ppl give me a srange look thats the main reason why if I take it to a local shop. It turns out them asking me questions. lol

Have you tried SupraMania yet? They have a lot more activity and people that know the car inside and out.

I copy pasted everything from these post over there and their telling me that they dont know either.

I missed the thread where you gave me the parts info. Thank you very much. I understand your situation. I wish you the best. One of the days I hope to see a thread telling us you got your supra running great.

If you think it may sit for a long time you may want to lubricate the the cam, valves and pistons with Marvel Mystery Oil or some similar lubrrcant. Turnig the engine over manually by using the the harmonic balancer bolt would be helpful too. The lubricant will help prevent problems like I have currently, two stuck valves in the number one cylinder. I lubed everything but I was busy and let it set too long withyout lubing the cam followers.

I wish the best.
