Well, I decided to do a quick swap to check whether the cluster housing and such was bad, but the replacement unit I put in displayed the same issues as my original, so I'm (for the moment at least)...

Would a burned trace show up in the continuity tests on the various locations on the back of the cluster as shown in the TSRM for gauge problem testing?

Unhappy Who on here is REALLY good at electrical?

I've got some serious issues with the cluster in my '88 and could use some help.

Shifter bushings are worn out. There's two (one for each end of the bolt the shifter rides on) and available from Toyota for a couple bucks. Easy fix.

My 2 cents, don't try. Find a GTE engine in good shape if you must, but turbo'ing a N/A is generally more trouble than it's worth.

You didn't say what kind of swap you had in mind, so I can't really offer an opinion beyond generally tending to favor having it rebuilt by a shop or individual if you can find one which really knows...

Yeah, didn't realize that I had left a couple of words out as the bolts definately don't have to be replaced. Was thinking faster than I was typing. :eek3:

That's your #3 gasket leaking in the plug galley. Easy to replace with the OEM gasket, or you can use generic washers/gaskets of a size I can't recall right this moment :o . Just pull the bolts...

Is it overheating while going down the road, or mostly at a standstill at red lights and things like that? If it's at a stop you need to check the fan clutch to make sure it hasn't leaked out all...

The stock torque rating was always too low, resulted in the 7M getting a not totally undeserved reputation for bhg's. 72 is a much more reliable torque for the headbolts.

Power steering cooler line. In pre-89's it's just the line going out in front of the radiator and returning, but iirc in the 89+ Supra's there's a couple of lines or a small cooler in the circuit.

Yes, pre-90's engines have EGR valves (unless it's a JDM engine), and both it and the charcoal cannister serve legitimate purposes.

If a PO didn't have the cannister hooked up it's likely...
