  1. "But decided to take it easy and head back but not long after it started loosing power again, chugging along and dash lights getting dimmer and dimmer until there was some clicking around the dash (solenoids I presume) and the engine died." This defo sounds like alternator to me, the only time a Supra has left me waiting for an AA man I had the same, lights dimming and engine cut out, AA tested the alternator, kaput, popped a new battery in from his van and drove the over 10 miles back on that while he follow behind. Your battery history/fast drain could have been the alternator deteriorating and not just the battery being old, it just might not have been getting much charge) I personally would get a new battery, pop it on and if it starts then get a volt meter and check it reads somewhere near 14 volts (proves the alternator is charging).
  2. Old thread and pics missing but hopefully helpful
  3. I'd like to get £400 for it ideally? I'm based near Guildford Surrey GU8
  4. Glad you are enjoying getting your teeth into it, I have never been confident/capable re electrics hence why the radio wasn't even investigated/fixed, I only ever swapped in a Chris Wilson FDC for the HKS one when I was chasing the poor boosting initially. Once I sorted the boosting out by taking it back to just a restrictor ring and boost gauge not using the controller I left it all as it, just serviced it and did a few thousand miles a year, fun but uneventful bar the front bumper issues, minor speedbump scuffs me, crack/plaster a careless McLaren employee! It needed someone with the time and skills to give the tidy/tlc it needed so glad it's getting that. It might make you poor getting it back looking OEM but I'm certain it'll churn out the miles nicely in the meantime and thereafter. I'm not missing it as much as I feared I might (yet), the second turbo pull I'm trying to forget when in the very linear V8. I don't think Martin (guy I got it from is still active), Andrew (SupraAyf) definitely is and I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing it back to its former glory, he had it when it was a pristine fresh import, he got the kit all fitted and over serviced/barely used it, the best sort of previous owner!!
  5. I have a x2 used viscous fan/clutch thingies if you haven't sorted that yet, one unknown miles, one low mile very good/clean one?
  6. So you had the fuel pump running by bridging the ports and heard the fuel flowing but it wouldn't start? it just turnover over, no coughs splutters or anything? You've swapped the ECU too so unlikely it's that (be perhaps ideal to check in another car but I appreciate that's not easy) So doesn't that leave us back to spark? grounding issues maybe https://www.supraforums.com/threads/2jzge-no-spark-help-pls.629999/
  7. Second post can help you diagnose (again if this is the same as the NA Supra's)
  8. Thanks and no problem, the cold snap and my man flu has set me back a bit on sorting things, so far all posted bits seem to have made it to everyone fine which is nice. Need some of the bulky stuff to go soon, ebay beckons I think....
  9. In the engine bay, follow the large coolant pipe(s?) at the top rear of the engine toward the right (passenger) side and you'll see x2 disappear into the bulkhead. This is the in/out to the heater matrix, if when warm there is a large difference (the 'in' might be hot - careful, the out luke warm/cold) then it's likely a partially/fully blocked matrix.
  10. Yeah still have the pump, I can get you some extra pics etc if you like, just send me a message where you want it sent etc, cheers
  11. only about 350 2002 cars made so a rare thing. If this was 2027 I think the American's would snap this up at this price.
  12. Does this link help at all? I think it has links to a toyota electrical manual
  13. I have some that are old and tatty, would need a complete strip and paint/powder coat, but I'd only want £40 for them so depends what you want. I think they are old 'red' Apexi springs but can't be certain.
