So the Z is done (besides fine tuning it and cleaning it up) and I think this is the start of other topics, other cars, neat stuff I find etc……
I have a friend with a 1995 Supra with some issues.
From what I have been told, it had a head gasket blow, ever since then it has been a problem child. I am going to take the opportunity to use my blog as a reference sheet that other MKIV owners can find and maybe help themselves with.
The car has an intermittent stalling issue. When it is given light throttle at full operating temperature, it stumbles. After doing some research, I found a bunch of MKIV owners with this issue. One big problem is that the car is OBDI. I cant hook up a scanner to the diagnostic port and the ECU will not remember the codes! So, I had to jump it with a wire as instructed here. After crossing TE1 and E1, I get no codes…..so I constantly watch for the CEL to come on. That takes away from enjoying driving the car. Anyways, I have to get to studying, here are some pictures with my poor neglected, ignored car in the background. Hopefully I can find the gremlin in the Supra, I still think it is the MAF sensor, we will see.

This is a video that my friend Jeff from Pro-Motor sent me, pretty amazing car! I wish my Z turned times like this.
