car wont start
 

what the hell, ok b4 everybody gets on my case its not the afm cuz it ran after i fixed the intake and i dusted a prelude last saturday ok,,, so its working properly,, now the car cranks but wont turnover what the hell is wrong wit it,

anybody got any suggestions pls reply asap,

everytime i get sumthin good goin sumthin is jus bound to go wrong

wiggle the wires on the cps?

cps?? sori new to this engine what do ya mean?

cam position sensor... green or grey 4 wire plug, wiggle wires then try starting

right front of the engine , right next to the power steering reservoir
round object that plugs into the head .
mine does the same crap once in a while I haven't figured it out exactly yet.
but i wiggle the cps wires and unplug then replug the afm harness ,
if that doesn't work i pull plug #1 , sniff for gas then put it back in , if that doesn't get it i disconnect the battery for a few minutes ,

still does the same thing,

wiggled the cps already

disconected the afm
and put it back

took off the battery too

dont know what the hell is goin on

or maybe i did sumthing wrong
its this thing here right?


nother thing how do u put pics in the signiture?

Supra2NR...why am I not suprised...:dunno:

what did you do before it stopped working? or was it running fine last night...and suddenly this morning wont start kinda thing?

I hate to state the obvious, but is it out of gas?

Check to make sure nothing is disconnected that wasnt already disconnected last time it was working...(coil wire, etc.)

also there is a main circuit breaker for the car and at least 2 fuses that will keep it from starting...check those

if all that looks ok...take the number 1 spark plug out, and while holding the threads against a solid ground (I recommend using rubber handled plyers for this) have someone crank the engine...do you get spark at the plug and is it blueish or white/yellow/orangeish? If no spark you want to start with things like distributor, coil, ignition, etc.

If you got spark then the next thing to check is for Fuel pressure...there is a bleeder valve on the fuel rail (kinda like a tire valve) press it down a little and see if fuel squirts out...if it doesnt then you need to check things like Fuel pump, filter, fuel regulator, etc...

Good luck

why u gotta break balls?:rant2: :rant2: i know i know ur not suprised, but like i said i checkd everything that they said b4 now its ur suggestions that im gonna look into ill holla back when sumthin goes right

how the hell does oil flood my sparkplugs ,

any takers for this one

i cant think straight cuz right now i feel like choking the guy that sold the car to me

your valve covers are more than likely leaking... try tightening down the screws, you'll probably find they are loose :)

sori took long to reply

dont wanna make myself look like a hothead here but
right now i jus dunt have the peace of mind to work on my car so i brought it to my shop where i got my cadillac usually workd at

after that i took the keys to my cadi , and took a drive then i decided to look for the asshole that sold me the supra and told me that nothin is wrong wit it , and omg , found out that he was jus askin for it , so im sorry for him right now but damn i kickd the $#!t out of him, called me a rice racer because i put a few blue lights inside , because the stupid dome lights dosent work and i cant see for
$#!t inside the car when its dark, and that thing jus really pisses me off
right now im feeling a little better cuz i got sum aggression out

Did you buy a new car? no
Did he twist your arm and MAKE you buy it? I doubt it
Is it his fault you didnt do a very thorough inspection of the car prior to buying it? no

Buyer beware!

besides, the things you have mentioned about the car on here that I have read dont lead me to believe there is anything major wrong with the car. Just the average kind of things you will find wrong with 95% of the used cars on the market.

I just bought my Supra less than a month ago. I spent a full 2 hours going over (and under) the car, asking questions, and digging for clues. I forgot to check the radiator fluid...its brown, the front rotors are warped and develop a wobble over 70MPH (which I didnt notice on my test drive). The ignition has been jumpered in the past, and the clutch interlock switch was cut, and the security system bypasssed. The front end has signs of repaired body damage that wasnt exactly professionally repaired...all stuff I missed before I bought it. I aslo discovered it uses about a quart of oil a tankful, and I too had some oil in with my spark plugs.

Am I mad at the guy I bought it from? hell no...he only answered the questions I asked, and didnt volunteer anything more. Thats my fault not his. Do I love my car? Hell YES! Im out there nearly every day, tinkering with stuff and making it "my own"

I dont mean this as an insult, just an observation...I guess your age to be 20-22 - old enough to know better but not experienced enough to know that.

Keep plugging away at that car and making it a worthy ride...and along the way you just might learn something!

its not even that , it was raining heavily in chicago when we were doing negotiations so no chance to inspect it thoroughly that might be my fault but , i remember he clearly said that it had just went through a thourough (dunno how to spell it) tune up , so ok he showed me the reciepts nd everything and the day that i bought the car could do a final check beacuse i was at work and we only had so much time, basically it was jus me handing him the money and him handing me the car keys, what pissed me off was i visited the shop , and i was so pissed it was jus his friends working on cars , i swaer to god u couldnt even call it a shop it looks jus like sumbody's garage , and when i askd them about the car they knew about it , and did do any work close to what he said


thats what pissed me off

to make matters worst
he said he did me a favor by lowering the price from 2200 to 2000
he didnt jus lower the price jus out of nowhere
he did it because the passenger window gets stuck on one point and wont go back up anymore
and the driver side door handle is loose
i was jus pissd
maybe i overreacted but what can i do he he he

on another note tho


do u guys think its gonna be worth it to drop a 2jz on my catera,

i had it lookd at b4 they said they can do it but its gonna cost me
i know not a lot of people use this car for racing but i love this car i couldnt even bear to sell it, belive it or not it does almost exactly same 1/4 times as a stock supra
its tenths of a second diffrence
what do u guys think?
