Did a little work today. Cleaned the TB which was nasty. Cleaned the door panels up. Installed my climate control from the 400.

I'm hoping to pull the seats and carpet tomorrow for some deeper cleaning.

 

while your there you should do the egr bypass and the coolant bypass

 

Yea I read up on it at supra forums. I gotta go back in there to change that gasket and plugs so when I do that I'll do that bypass.

 

wooo that tb is ugly! lucky 300....least the plug wires are right there compared to 400 lol. good luck building this up!

 

Haha thats one thing I won't miss about the 400.

 

man, O am happy to see you are back in the game. If I had to do it all again this is the way I would do it! Viva Gazi!

 

I'm back, 2 cylinders short. lol

So the TB cleaning didn't help the idle at all yesterday. I'm thinking its either the cluster is bad or the IACV is gone.

I'm hoping that the cluster is bad since the IACV is a @#$@! to take out.

It reads almost 0-100 idle and either 5 -10 mph i forget off hand. BUT it sounds like its idling at around 600-700 so im praying its the cluster. I don't have a scanner to test this.

 

Subscribed, in hopes to see, yet another beauty imerge. GL with the build.

 

mm yum carbon, mine looked like that to, stupid egr...

 

The car needs a little TLC, good luck with her.

 

I moved the car around today before i got started on cleaning up the carpet, I noticed that it would jerk a tiny bit and ALMOST stall, so it could be that the gauge is bad AND maybe the IACV is bad too.

I did a few searches and found that the IACV was the most common problem.

If you guys have any other ideas as to what I should check let me know.

 

You make me want to pick up a beat SC and start over from scratch.

 

Got a good amount of work done today.

I cleaned + power washed the hell out of that nasty carpet. A few stains were still left in, but for the most part the carpet is clean. The amount of dirt and other nasties that came out of that carpet was crazy.

The floor mats were no good so I dumped them.

I noticed when I pulled the carpet out it was wet on the driver side, the reason. A giant puddle of water under the carpet. I cleared that out.

Cleaned the interior of the car, wiped everything inside down with a wet cloth and a little simple green + disinfectant.

I ran some sea foam in the car as well.

While revving the car I noticed the O/D light would flash like this

.. .. .. ..

Spoke to todd and he said its probably the speed sensor.

Last night I ordered:

Valve Cover gasket set
Denso Plug wires
Distributor cap
Distributor rotor
Alternator fuse
Tanabe Springs

Interior should be getting done within 2-3 weeks, possibly sooner.

So as of now the major things that I need to get fixed are:

Low Idle
Speed Sensor
Cluster

I also noticed... I don't know if its dirt mixed with water or what but I've got some nasty black stuff coming out of both tail pipes when I rev it hard... It doesn't feel/smell like oil... if anyone has an ideas let me know...

I'm thinking its just a combo of lots of dirt or something in the pipes + water.

 

i love what you are doing, most people see these car as garbage at this condition, forgetting that its the people who drove it got it that way. Props to you!
