1982 supra-celica engine problems. plz help
Hi everyone! Im a young teen who was given an 1982 supra celica in almost perfect condition.. It only had 45,000 miles on it and was garaged its entire life... All of a sudden the car started running really rough, i opened the hood to check if a wire had come off and i noticed water in the third plug hole back from the front of the engine. Dried it all of and took it to a local toyota mechanic. He did a tune up and a compression check. He said the compression was good and after the tune up the car ran smooth once again. but the next day water was back in the spark plug hole??(and it even blew the spar plug wire right off the plug). also after getting the car back from the mechanic theres a knock at after starting the engine and at low rpm...This knock goes away with an increase of Rpm... any ideas about the water in that plug hole and the knock would be greatly appreciated.. im just lost here and dont know what to do?

Let the car run and watch the hoses for any leaks..You may have to rev it to get the right pressure to cause the leak.. If no leak im sorry to say that you have a good chance of having a cracked head..As far as the knock at start up..Check the oil pressure and level..Dont trust most shops with these cars..Almost everyone i talk to about mine they tell me"Im sorry"..You will be doing alot of work yourself if you want it done right..Go check out celicasupra.com There are some very savy and helpfull guys and gals there..Just use the search first before you ask something.. see ya there..

Sound like your "suicide" hose is leaking. There is a hose that runs under the intake that's almost impossible to see and harder to replace, but it can be done with the intake on.
