'87 Toyota Supra - Should I sell? |
|
|
I have an '87 Toyota Supra that just failed emissions. I'm not sure I
want to bother fixing it, but I don't know if I could even get anything
for it because it has bad paint, and some front end damage.
Other than the above mentioned stuff, the car runs great, but I don't
know if I want to maintain it.
So what do you think?

If you live in the wonderful state of Confusion (California) you must
smog it to sell it.
My doctor was telling me about his about same age pickup that cost him
$800 in smog to sell for $1500 |

Could you maybe post the numbers? Need both your actual results as well as
limits for your car.

I think you should sell it to me for $100! Esp if it's blue, has a Targa
top and a 5-speed!
Actually, what I REALLY think is that you should open the hood, and locate
the top of the thermostat housing, in the front of the engine, with a
large radiator hose going from it to the radiator. See it? Good. Now, look
at the funny thing mounted into it, with two small vaccuum hoses attached
to it. See them? Thos is a BVSV. Someone else here can tell you better
than I what it means, but it is a temp operated vaccuum switching valve.
If you follow the hoses, you'll see that one is attached to the charcoal
cannister.
Now, GENTLY!!!!!! make sure the hoses are actually attached to the damn
thing! These things are notorious for getting brittle and breaking the
nibs off. Most of the time they just hang, butt occasionally they still
look like they are connected when they are not.
If this is the culprit, then it's $65 at a Toyota dealer, $25 at a junk
yard; I got one for $16 on E-Bay.
If not, I got $100 burning a hole in me pocket! |

If it's time to get new tags, maybe your state will buy it back just to get
the old junker off the road.
California has a deal where they will pay you $1000 to take older cars off
the road.

Thanks for the info, I'll check that out.
I am in the state of washington.
The car is a five speed with a GTE engine with the turbo removed.
The car passes the idle test with flying colors, but on the cruise it
first got 3.89% CO emmisions when the bar was just 1%. After using a
fuel treatment and removing the air filter I got it down to 1.89%
I appricaite the suggestion Hachiroku, I'll check that out tomorrow.
Thanks for the help you guys! |
