And also one reason I didn't go back to work at any....here the shop rates are about $90/hr, and the "very top" techs get $20-25 of that.

????
i thought forums were meant to find answers , not comments that dont help anything. how about someone that knows something besides how much life sucks.

if you dont like the "comments that dont help anything" then get out B/C that is what forums are all about. if you cant find your anwser then too bad go to another, but dont complain about it. this forum isnt just a place to "find Answers" , its about the all around gossip about the supra. |

not fixed yet
so far ive also replaced a hose going to the ICS valve that had a small crack. removed the ICS and took it apart and cleaned it. (no water there) now i'm looking for a new accordian tube going to the throttle body from the mass airflow sensor because it has a crack in it. it must be a sealed unit.
anyway... not fixed yet. anyone have any other ideas on what to check? |

liar
well. i made a liar out of myself. i decided to go and change valve cover gaskets. while in there , i found more water (and oil). i changed the valley gasket and valve cover gaskets , after getting "all' the water this time.
it's so clean in there now you could eat lunch off it. unfortunately i'm still waiting on my accordian hose that the dealer totally screwed up for me. so i cant start it yet. maybe in a couple days. i'm finding out , supra parts arent easy to find. |
