    91 3FE Coolant pressure

    I would get a NAPA block tester kit. You can check for exhaust gas in the coolant very easily with that. You can confirm whether or not you have any kind of headgasket/head/etc problems. Once you narrow that down, you can look at the coolant system itself. I've never been a fan of the Stant...

    Momo marine steering wheel

    Not that it really matters for $40. But they aren't actually made by MOMO. They are made by Uflex and licensed to use the MOMO name. Also they aren't crash tested for road use. Just wanted to add some info.

    ABS light always on

    Aside from 7 pin, Toyota ABS systems are very voltage sensitive. I'd check to make sure the alternator output is correct. I've also seen a hairline crack across the fusible link cause enough voltage drop to set the light as well.

    rough idle, no power, knocking

    Code 51 is most likely the TPS is not set correctly. Might want to set that. Easy fix, but most likely not your problem. I've been on forums for quite a while (11yrs supraforums and just a year here). All the time I would see someone have a problem, make a post, then people just guessing...

    rough idle, no power, knocking

    No codes? I can sit here and throw out a bunch of "it's the fpr, it's the hg, etc" but hard to troubleshoot over the forum when you haven't done much looking. Have you pulled the plugs even? First and foremost you need to address the distributor. You can't just yank it out and shove it in...

    270A Alternator installed, but still not 14.4V

    This. With all your equipment off there isn't much of a load on the battery just sitting there.

    Battery rewire finished and results

    Sorry for the late reply. You need some wire cutters big enough for large gauge wire. Regular side cutters will just hack away at it and make a mess. I use a razor knife to strip back the insulation. Strippers don't work very well. I also use the split style terminal ends. They are easier...

    Another Stereo Thread: Sorry

    The Scion would be the cheapest way to go. I just don't think they are much to look at is all. But I'm picky about that stuff. The Pioneer speakers will fit behind the factory grille. But the Polk speakers sound worlds better. But you will have to mod a bit and it won't fit behind the...

    Camera Mounts for Wheeling, etc...

    GoPro is pretty nice. The mounts work real well. We've had it up to 140mph and it held on like a champ. Better yet we used the mount to pull out a dent of friend's fender. The best part about it is the cam is so light there isn't any shake. The Ram mounts are real nice. Used it for a sony...

    Adding new radio.. amp or no amp?

    It should, I know the front 6 do. But my cargo tweeters have never worked since I got it, and the sub was so dry rotted it had been unplugged.

    Battery rewire finished and results

    Thanks! I used a 100a fuse. A little oversized for stock, but works for future plans. Besides, if the wire gets shorted to ground it will still blow. Several people don't even fuse the extra line, but I don't run power anything without its own fuse.

    Adding new radio.. amp or no amp?

    The stock amp is horrible. You would be better off with the cheap Toyota harness and using the head unit amp. It was a pleasant surprise to find both harnesses behind the dash. Didn't have to rewire a thing. Plug it in the other harness, unplug the factory amp and go.

    Replacement speakers

    If you want to use the factory grille you are very limited. Sundown Audio has a new prototype that may fit behind the factory grille and are seperates. They are going to be ~$200 for the set. Not sure what your budget is. Here is my thread and pics from the Polk DXi speaker install...

    Man-a-fre Level Stance 3/2 installed

    Big difference! Looks real good.

    Battery rewire finished and results

    I edited down the size 3 times and they still look huge. Atleast they aren't billboard size anymore. Let me know if they need to be sized down further.

    Battery rewire finished and results

    I should have specified that I ADDED to the factory wiring, did not replace. So I have 2 cables running from the alternator, not just one. Also, being a 3FE owner there aren't tons of aftermarket stuff on the shelf for them. Plus I like to DIY. I took a couple of quick pics with my progress...

    Battery rewire finished and results

    Yeah I didn't think it would either, especially enough to justify the extra effort and $6.50/ft. I'm running an aftermarket stereo, that's about it for now. Pics tomorrow. My camera doesn't do well under the shop lights.

    91 High Idle

    Does it idle up with the a/c turned on?

    Battery rewire finished and results

    Thanks Ken I swapped up some of the numbers, I have it fixed now. Not sure if you saw it before or after my ninja edit. I used EFX Flux 4 gauge wiring. I could have gone bigger on the grounds, but it would be a lot more difficult to run 2awg or 0awg for the power. You can use welding cable...

    Battery rewire finished and results

    If it's one complaint I've had with Toyota (atleast late 80- early 90) is the wiring. It seems they went out of their way to use the smallest wire they could find. I had good results with the supra, and thought I'd do the 80. All measurements taken at the battery with my Fluke meter First...
