ok so the car is running now and im having a few problems.

1. Its a little hesatent to start and when it does it bogs the check engine light comes on and the rpms fluctuate at like 500 to 1000 untill i push the gas. It levels out to 1500 after i rev it once the engine light also turns off. (boost or vacume leak maybe?)

2. Theres this really weird sloshing noise I hear ever once and awhile it sounds like its in the dash or right infront of it. I was thinking it may be the heater or something, but im not sure.

3.When i start the car the oil pressure is high. is this normal? after it gets warm its below 40 untill i push the gass but when i start it up the pressure is way above 40.

4.when the turbo starts to boost it feels like im getting more acceleration when im not flooring the car like maybe the actuator is releasing the pressure but the psi gague says its pushing 8psi but it pulls harder around 5 or 6. (boost leak again???) and it takes it abit to rev out to 6k rpm its hard to explain. its like its not getting the full 8psi or not getting enough fuel or something. maybe the afm is dirty im pretty lost on this one.

5. after full throtel boosting the car sometimes dies or it will bog and the check engine light will come on but if i hit the gass it levels out again like it does when i first start it up.

6.Is it normal for all the TEMS lights to come on when i have it in normal mode? all three come on from time to time in normal mode under normal driving condiions no hard acceleration or anything.

if anyone can help me with this i would be very greatfull.

thanks for reading my thread and helping with my noobyness : )

ohh and i have come to understand that supras are sexy as hell and verry ammusing to drive : )

I have a similar problem. I asked for advice, see if you can dig up my old thread on it, ill look when i get a chance
air in the coolant system. you need to burp your radiator, instructions are in the faq

your pressure should not go above 40, get a real oil pressure diagnostic gauge and see whats the real numbers are before we proceed. in the mean time consult the tsrm for possible issues.

Do not, I repeate DO NOT! try and clean your afm with some sort of solvent.

are you completely stock? sounds like your running pretty rich (i remember posting something on this subject but the answer eludes me.
Yep! road conditions, braking, anything really will make your Tems light fluctuate, completely normal.

for the things that I didn't answer give them a search here with my name in it or cre's is always a safe bet. im about to walk out the door so im a tad rushed. Ill get back to you tonight.

heres a link that to my original post of "stall at start up" maybe this can lead you in the right direction

heres a link to supramania were someone else is experiencing low oil pressure. (tips on using a checker)

oh and I read a very technical explanation of exactly how our stock pressure gauge works, if you interested I can see if i can dig it up again. just if your curious, think it was on supramania also.

Well i replaced all the hoses ontop of the engine and it stopped for now.. i actually replaced them like 10 minutes ago my toyora parts box came in lol

I apologies i ment to say that when i start the car it jumps up to 40 then when it starts running it drops to 20 or so and runs at or below 20 depending on how much gas im giving it.

i read the FAQ lol im really glad i did i almost went and bought some AFM cleaner.


yep comletely stock untill next week : ) i replaced those hoses and it doesnt do it now but it will not rev out. it shoots up to 4500 or so then its like theres no more power. it is very noticeable that its not getting full power. i just readjusted the throttle cable it wasnt going wide open but i went and tested it after i fixed it. it had alot more acceleration but it is still not getting full power i can tell it seems like lower boost is giving me more acceleration than when i floor it and let it spool up to 8psi. im very confused now lol the check engine light is on full time now to after running it.

im about to have a front moun, aluminum piping and a taiel Q bov installed i believe its a Q or a SQ BOV does anyone have any tips on taking the bumper off i need to do that tonight lol (procrastination)

i think someone was gonna clean this up to have it sticky ed. that link will give you instructions. sorta.

hey. take some pictures when you remove your bumper and post the process.

while you have your fender off. buy a air filter and make a cold air intake box and mount it under your light.

I took it off last night but ill put it bqck on for educational purposes and post some pictures. Its not thaat hard there's 8 nuts that are kinda hard to get to but other than that it was cake. There's just a lot of nuts and bolts and supports that have to be taken loosened or taken off. But they are all 10 mm so no need to change sockets after each piece.

Hey man i just got a 89 supra turbo, and quickly learned, they all blow the headgaskets, eventually. well if its a 7m motor. defect from factory. If you are hearing a sloshing or girgglely noise behind the dash, thats one of the signs. mine kept blowing antifreeze out of the overflow, i pressure tested the system, it all checked out. eventually it went way bad, im in the process of replacing it right now, i think that the car will be awesome. eventually, right now i dont wanna look at it!

yes that is a possibility but more likely just needs burped. least start there as a precursor for checking bhg

Mine is also blowing coolant out of the over flow but I think my thermostat is bad and the connector for the housing is also busted most likely creating back pressure causing me to loose coolant every week or so. I have new hoses on the way they are all bad.

Sorry its been so long guys iv had some really bad luck lately my feionce left me iv moved 3 times in the last month and the supra was in a wreck without the front plastics on and needs slight body work, and now it keeps blowing the EFI fuse when I turn the ignition switch to on. I unpluged the fuel pump and its still blowing the fuse. Anyone have any idea what it could be I'm having a hell of a time here. Ohh and I also foundout I bottomed out and crushed my exhaust pretty good so ill need that before too long also.
