1.) I have a nasty problem with water getting into one of my headlights and it just sits there all day everyday and will eventually turn it yellow inside out.... how can I prevent this the easier/most efficieft way?

2.) Just was going to the store on about 1/4 tank of gas or less (almost empty) and my car began to bog out and jump when I pressed the gas until for a couple minutes then it warmed up and drove fine... I just bought this car last week and the guy said it might be the fuel pump... you think im fine driving it as it is as long as I allow at least a half a tank of gas in the car at all times? First time happening to me since i bought it but it does also want to slowly die at a idle once in awhile.

 

1.) you will have to open the headlight and clean the inside, then reseal with some good silicone. here for a DIY: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...finishing.html

2.) 12v fuel mod sounds like a good place to start with what your describing. here again for the DIY: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...tures-faq.html

hope that helps out

 

Thats should solve both of your problems.

 

thx! will try to do both of those things tomorrow since its already dark

 

I asked my mechanic and he said that fuel mod probably woulden't help me out in my situation oh well Does anybody have experience with eBay fuel pumps? I've see nthem going for $80 shipped rather than $375 at autozone or anyone might be able to direct me to a used one somebody may b parting out

 

If you're going to get a new fuel pump, you might as well upgrade it. I heard the Denso 255 fuel pumps for the Supra TT are good, especially if you are looking to make more power later on..

 

x2 but thier was some kinda alert on supra forums the fuel pumps on ebay are china made horriable get the supra or stay oem

 

i see looks like i am going to have to pick up a used one then since there a little pricey... I have absolutly no cash right now and am going to have to borrow the money for a new/used one.... if you kny anybody selling a used one or parting one out dont hesitate to let me know. thanks

 

pm aliga he can prob has one

 

aliga sells good stuff

 

check out the classifides often

 

cmon man, these guys on the forum gave you golden advice on how to fix a known problem. then you asked your mechanic if you should bypass an ecu for free rather than buy a fuel pump ($) and pay to install it (more $). were you really expecting him to agree with information you found on your own that only takes away business from them.

fuel pumps die much less frequently than the ecu. Do the mod, its free, and if it doesnt clear it up get a pump. buy a stock denso or you can go aftermarket with a walboro or other brand. be aware that aftermarket pumps are typically louder than their stock counterparts. I can hear my walboro from inside the cabin whereas I never noticed my stock pump. I have a stock pump laying in my collection of parts box, and after 130k it looks pristine still, those things are quite reliable unless you raise the fuel pressure.

 

your mechanic is a moron, enough said..the links I posted above have been PROVEN time and time again to work and solve issues. Go to Toyota and pick up the factory fuel pump for a MK4 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo, do the 12v fuel mod, stay away from ebay, and from used fuel pumps...

do it right, and you'll only have to do it once
