Replaced EFI 30A Fuse, EFI Relay, and installed a TT Supra Fuel Pump... Dumb thing still doesn't start...

Car Cranks but Won't Start

Got a box full of goodies to install, but they aren't going on until I can get it up and running!

Default been working on my 2k and 95 sc400

fitting my wheels on my 95 sc400 with a 97 block manual 5 speed w58 w/torsen LSD 4.08 gears.
315/25/19 tires on a 19x12.5 wheels in the rear w/supra 2 piston calipers need to get a grip in life !
waiting on some other parts before i lower it some more. I will also modify and weld some fenders on. 95% done just needs body and paint.

been working on my 2000 Lexus sc400 engine for awhile now. power steering delete, oil pump fan deleted. Running an aluminum radiator and dual electric ball bearing fans. K&N intake for a gs400. External oil cooler & transmission cooler. The only thing im running is alternator and crank but optional to run a/c is all their. I converted to electric steering using an equinox chevy steering box with a resistance ****. Other goodies are some PPE exhaust headers modified w/ v-band flanges & oh yes forgot to mention that is an tundra polymer intake manifold, modified pigtails to work with tundra injectors. 1 inch thick 2 piece aluminum adapter plate for the 1uzfe throttle body. The intake sits about an inch and half or 2 higher then the original aluminum intake top and bottom manifold. Shaving some heavy weight up front, im sure this light weight polymer intake going to produce more HP/TQ throughout the RPM band range. Waiting to restore this baby to perfection! stay tuned tho...........

What offsets are those wheels? Have you looked at Ulterior Motive Shop's metal flares? They're based out of Sacramento.

Replaced the transmission mount, the coolant temperature sensor, and the distributor o-ring (again).



Finished it all off with a car wash, even though the paint is dead....

Degreased the engine yesterday and got some water into the front engine cover. The car was misfiring pretty bad. Took the first plug wire off and found a puddle of water around the plugs. Sucked it out using my trusty fluid syringe. Reseated the plug wire and no more misfires!

Also installed the '95 tail lights that I picked up here from jimmymac

Fixed the brake light out dash indicator by removing the purple wire from the tail light ECU.
HOW TO: Disable Tail Light Failure Warning Light for Lexus SC300/SC400

Fixed the hyperblink condition that results from installing LEDs in place of incandescent lights, by modifying the stock flasher relay.

Both fixes were found here on the forum. I love the wealth of information here!
