oh well............

I checked out the car. pretty much everything he said was correct, but the wiring harness is.. seriously, genuinly fu**ed up.

Sorry for saying 4 injectors, as I have typed it wrong.

I did not know that it did not have the crankshaft position sensor.. I guess he is referring the CPS to camshaft positon sensor, which is driven by the gear, attached to the cam. This CPS wasn't even connected to the wiring harness- there wasn't a socket on the wiring harness!!!! there was some wires hanging out around the coolant temperature sensor connection, but I wasnt able to figure out how to connect it back up.

I have no idea how to work on this car. I never thought it to be this nasty. The guy was totally honest to me though.

Anyhow- It was odd- the engine & turbine(shaft play) indeed looked like it had 100k on it- but it just felt like it was really 30 year old, 300k mi car.

Oh well, sorry for a newbie- non-sense thread...

Thank you so much for putting your time to read my crappy writing, and giving me such inputs.

Thanks.. off to a supra search again...
