Some questions about my 1988 Supra...

Sometimes gurgling behind the dash means BHG. That's what he meant. I also have the same problem with the headlight switch. It never bothered me enough to actually find out why it's doing it though. Sorry.

I see...Well the headlight switch doesn't bother me all too much either, but I'm sure it probably bothers other drivers, I just don't want to be that dick with the blaring hi-beams. Also, the fog lights don't work unless you have the lo-beams on, well at least on my car. So thanks man!

I don't really like the high beam set up myself but I don't think it's something you can fix, just gotta learn to live with it. And when they do come on I practically have to stand in my seat to see if the blue light is on. Just a crappy design flaw, that's all.

if it bothers you so much, can always swap out the assembly for a less sentive one...

the one on my car is perfect, couldnt ask for anything better... when it comes to high beam toggle sensetivity/functionality. 86.5 n/a

I wouldn't even know where to start when swapping out the assembly, but I'll try and go to a junkyard and get the piece and get a general feel for what goes where when I dismantle it...So yeah, thanks for the input! And I've got one more question...

3. The Gas Pedal has a lot of free play, if I'm not being super cautious I take off after every stop, it can be a real pain when I'm trying to parallel park too. So should I just replace it with another one or is there a way of repairing it? (My car is automatic btw)

I don't think it's a matter of it being sensitive, it's just a little akward. When you use your turn signal you just have to be careful not to pull the stalk back. I wouldn't waste the time on something like that. There are too many other things you could be working on.

for the gas pedal thing... hmm, maybe your just not use to driving a supra and thats why it takes off real fast lol it has some power, you could go to the throttle linkage i think and adjust there, or maybe even down by the pedal, there may be an adjuster around there, not to sure on those ones.
