Exclamation Just got a 1989 Supra! Have an easy Question!

I recently purchased a 1989 Supra 5spd, unfortunately it has 189K but only one owner and it was an old lady who babied the car.

Anyways, everything seems to work fine on the car. All the power features amazingly work great.

It had been sitting for the past 5 years and somehow still started up, needed a tune-up badly.

Just finished the spark plugs and boy was that a pain to get to!

Replaced the air filter and thermostat. Thermostat was causing it to overheat. Also had an oil leak so the gasket was replaced.

Another funny thing, the oil was clean after 5 years of sitting. Gas was dirty as could be though.


It still isnt running perfectly. I just replaced the water pump and there is some type of leak in the line somewhere, not near the pump itself though, that is causing steam, which at first I thought was oil burning, but luckily not.

Also there is an orange dash warning light to the far left of the dash board. It looks like a filter of some sort. Not sure exactly what it is though, I also have a 94 eagle talon and the same warning light is on that too and light up as well. Obviously it is nothing imperative but I couldnt find any info anywhere I have searched!


Any help comments or suggestions are apprecaited!
