Forum Member's : "How Do I"

[stewie]

Hi,

i'm new to this forum, well forums in general.
i've just bought another 1991 supra and paid ?600 (around $1200 in your money) over here in scotland. have no idea what it would be worth over by you but hey might be useful info for you.

As for the engine trouble if its only 50 bucks to get it checked out i would go for that, over here a garage will rape you to look over a car!!.

is it a non-starter? or rough idle/miss firering could be one of a list of problems, if you could give me more info might be able to help with possible problems.

Hello I just Bought a 1987 Supra BLue Love it nice shape too I bought the car used (of Course) and drove it 60 miles at first it was sputtering and had no power but once i ran it for a 20 miles i stoped and put some Fuel injector cleaner and it started to to stop sputtering a little and had more power Im a noob to the supra and am glad to be a part of the family but any suggestions to this sputtering problem would be awesome im going to give it a complete oil change and tune up and hope that helps maybe change the fuel filter.

Thankyou Supra with out you there is no meaning

I have a blue 1987 supra as well and when it started sputtering it was a blown headgasket, it could be a small thing like a clogged fuel filter. I highly reccomend you get it diagnosed at a local shop! Also check your oil for any foamy look to it, thats a big sign of a BHG. I would just seriously get that car checked out.

if it's lacking power it's either a blown head gasket (BHG) or else check all your lines it could be a split hose and the turbo is not making it's proper boost.
