Hello, the good news is here- the owner is sure of the head gasket's okay, since he had it torqued down 2 yrs ago at the toyota dealership at 70lb/ft. Engine itself is okay.
The new components put in to make the car run are: alternator ECU camshaft position sensor crakshaft position sensor new fuel pump relay new fuel pump new injectors (all 4) NOW.. the car turns out to be the wiring harness, which was a mystery solved by the toyota dealership after expensive diagnosis labor of 10+ hrs. I never heared a wiring harnes fraying out (or the insulation fraying out and shorting out together) on any supra forums yet. The wiring harness issue never comes up unless people are doing a 89+ ecu swap, auto to manual swap, or na+Turbo mod. I can get the wiring harness- but I am concened if there is any "hidden" problems that caused the wiring harness to fry out itself. I don't wanna pass up this oppertunity, but I am concerned if this is a BIG issue since I am not ready yet to do a stand-alone ECU (haltech, megasquirt..etc..) yet. what to do...what..too..doo... please help me out!! |

HAHAHA thats some funny shit.
7M's don't have a crankshaft position sensor. Whoever told you that is either A. lieing, or B. never worked on a MK3 supra before and is just repeating what a hack mechanic told them he replaced. Either way, there is no Crankshaft position sensor, ask me how I know. All 4 huh?  Too bad a 7M is a 6 cylinder. Too bad retorquing 20 year old factory head bolts don't do a good god damn. The damage is already done with the head bolt threads being caked with carbon and they are already streched. Theres a reason the car is selling for $1000. Sounds like a complete toilet to me. |
