New 87 Supra-with problems

josh_crosson · 08-12-2008, 06:00 PM

nice looking car man,
i would say replace the fuse and see what happens. maybe the internal regulator for the alternator has gone bad and is pumping out too much power?
i hate electrical too.

clean engine bay man, what kinda intake is that? in place of the 3000 pipe? edit realized thats how they came stock that year.

Also, id try a new fuse, i mean theyre cheap so if it blows yeah you didnt lose much, and if it works you dont have to get your hands dirty.

That fuse looks pretty fried... if it blows that bad again you've got problems. Probably a short in wiring from the alternator somewhere.

The alternator? seriously? That's rare. Usually they fail by undercharging not overcharging.

whats the amps on the MarkIII alternators anyways?
