Tachometer Issue
Hey all,
I am new to the Toyota forum and somewhat new as a Supra owner. I have an issue with my Tach (the in-dash stock tach). It is completely non functional. The person that sold me the car says that there is a component in the rear of the tach that needs replacement, but I can not give much thought to his suggestions as I have had to do some significant repairs to his shoddy work on electrical stuff. My question is that I hear there are often issues when a SE is modded to a TT (as was the case with this car) and that the tach and AC are normally not fuctional (yes My AC/fan/heat doesn't do anything either). Is this normally the case? And what are the normal causes remedies? Any help from the experts is appreciated!!! |

Is/was yours also an SE (i.e. non-turbo)?

Interesting the faulty coil pack would cause the tach to malfunction. Honestly, I've never heard of that before. Many thanks for posting - I'm glad to have learned something new!

Well the strange thing is there is no check engine light
and also no codes stored !!!!!!! We did a scan test and also jumper the E1 and TE1 no signal there the scan says no connection. I hope it is the crank trigger wheel that is damage hel of a job to get to it. Grt... |

My Supra has no mods on it the only thing is that it was
converted in Japan with a 2JZGTE engine. The body is a year 2000 non turbo and then they swap a turbo engine and harness in it . I did a check on the crank trigger wheel and it looks fine no damage there ...... Do you think there is a internal damage like broken valve guides or valve seats ??? GRT, |
