Diagnosing Why My Supra Wont Start.. Here's How Bad It Is...

[@kentmckean6795]

6:46 Mystery diode thingy is what turns on your "low fuel" light. It is a continuity probe. When the fuel drops below the Mystery diode thingy's level, it detects the open circuit and turns on the "low fuel" light.

[@kostygarage4328]

Thank God I saw your video, I have a barnyard find e30 that I couldn't find the issue with fuel and I thought the pump was good but I checked and the pump is bad. Now I can finally get back to fixing the car, thank you.

[@ViperGuy145]

It should be a law that fuel pumps have access doors like this. I hate dropping tanks. Lol

[@MegaCasey09]

My grandma was a buick owner, i can tell you that between the 1999 buick regal and the 2013 lucerne they did figure out that little trick

[@ViperGuy145]

@@MegaCasey09 Wow, very similar story. I changed it one on a 95 deville and the 2000 bonneville. The Bonnie had the service door too thankfully.

[@deviondietz2354]

Totally agree with you

[@timcanizares5240]

All Japanese cars have the access door.... only American cars have that design flaw

[@RealRickCox]

It's ALWAYS a good day when I see Chris crushing another amazing build!! So glad you're back in good health!

[@edwinspeelman]

Keep the clutchfan, it will save you cooling issues in the future! Also Supra's don't prime the fuelpump.. it's just a Supra thing :)

[@peterstoyanov7897]

I think it's a Toyota thing cuz my Toyota starlet also only prime's the fuel pump when it's actually cranking

[@joealex65]

Electric fans have improve a lot in the last 20 years. Clutchfans are archaic technology, there are a lot of cool options for better fans on a Supra :)

[@Harzman01]

@@peterstoyanov7897 Might be a 90s mitsubishi thing too cause mine only makes noise when i crank. Noticed this when my starter died. Fuel pump makes noise during cranking.

[@SeezSantos]

7:10 that black goo is normal to see when pulling a pump out of an old 90's car. I remember removing a pump out of a 89 Miata, the original pump and it looked exactly like that. The rubber gasket just got aged to goo with all the old fuel.

[@dmeconitas]

I liked how you explained the volt meter. I remember when you were doing the jz swap into the brz and people on the forums were giving you sh*t for not knowing how to use a meter. Telling you that if you can't use a meter, there is no point in you trying to do the swap.

[@bharrison]

I took your advice - Metal Supermarkets. My new favorite place!!! Super helpful and ready to answer any questions you have. Thanks Chris!

B is for build, not d is for drive

[@BaggerV42]

only concern is that you didn't hose clamp the pump side. that's known to cause the pinhole effect. the pump will push past it and you will lose pressure at the rail. if you start having fuel issues while driving, start there

[@joealex65]

He said that pump is just temporary.

[@danielhughes9556]

I had an 04 Tacoma for 12 years. It's crazy how much it sounds like that truck when you start the car... Good luck with the supra. Now bring back the datsun

[@oneofthemostnotorious]

I been here a while and I like to leave positive comments when applicable. I just can’t help but state fixing the OG Diesel engines made more sense. You’re the KZbin guru though.

[@CLANCY759]

I was thinking the whole first 12 minutes that it wouldn't prime the fuel pump without IGN. Glad you figured it out.

[@wpalmer8901]

I use Metal Supermarkets for my projects. I agree with everything you said about them, excellent company to deal with.

[@Anachroschism]

Generally, I've found if a car has been sitting a long time (years) and not started, the fuel pump will be in need of rebuild or replacement. I've had this happen several times over the years, from manual pump, factory electric pumps, and aftermarket Holley pumps.

[@psycodoood]

Be careful with the alternators on the boat, unless they are specific for this aplication they do need protection due to the salt

[@michaelluberto1181]

Consider installing marine alternators and starters. Other than the upgraded internals and coatings for Harsh environments. They are mainly designed for safety reasons due to the possibility of sparks Inside of a enclosed compartment with the possibility of a Fuel leak.

[@jonsgarage8484]

When the gold Icon ratchet came out I lost it. 😂 Mine is in the case on the wall with a spotlight on it. Comes out for the last bolt on any project. GSXR 600 swapped golf cart is next to be finished!

[@teacherplannercrafter9285]

It’s actually very common that pumps die sitting but in the future if you wanna just get the car running, you can take your power probe and apply power and ground to the pump and keep reversing power and ground back and forth and it’ll break the pump free and start working again.

[@edpoell2876]

Good to see you in the pink. Love your enthusiasm with everything you do.

[@TheBuildRoom]

Keep the stock clutch fan, you can get new pumps and blades ready and they're awesome on 2js lots of aftermarket electronic fans on the market that cause overheating issues on higher power engines.

[@charlesmiller1552]

Chris, Great to see you in good health. Best wishes, Charles,

[@hgvenom]

How did you know what alternative fuel pump to use? One of the reason I like so much your video is because your a bunch of guys en doesn't really know what they're doing and I love to see you figure out, I just miss that type of staff in your videos.

[@jmaster9925]

Super satisfying seeing a panel that you simply just take a few bolts out of in the trunk and the fuel pump is right there!!!

[@tim3kgt]

the black is the isolator that has melted over time. Ive seen quite a few of these on mitsubishi cars esp when race gas, ethanol, or emissions pass chemicals have been used or left too long in the tank... also that looks like a walboro pump, not the factory toyota / Denso pump

[@edwinspeelman]

Yeah, deffo not the OEM pump. Most likely a knockoff Walbro, with shit quality "Rubber" isolator

[@Isaacandadler]

Thanks for banging on the fuel pump and check if it will work. Always wanted to know. Can you try banging on it more to see if it will come back alive in case car broke down.

[@jeremysharp5436]

Unless I missed it, it looks like you only have one hose clamp holding the fuel line from your new fuel pump to the outlet tube, and it's only a clip style. You need to replace it with high pressure "fuel injector" hose clamp, and add one where the hose meets the pump. Otherwise you run the risk of being able to push that rubber line off and have your fuel pressure leak past it.

[@Moonsauc3]

I think the "gunk" on the bottom of the pump was glue, attached to bottom of tank, to keep the pump from vibrating

[@jorgemarkin1510]

Only thing I would have done differently would be running power to the pump to test it before pulling it..

[@frankish5314]

Yup I would have done the same.

[@armandopatane5343]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CHANNEL = and HOPEFULLY HOPE YOU FEEL WELL CHRIS =AND OTHERS

[@notold37]

I think you should do a build off with Tavarish and his Supra, and then do a track day, great video Chris 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

[@hunterbean7953]

the "mystery diode thingy" on the fuel sending unit is the low fuel level sensor, basically what gives you your low fuel light

[@timpatton3948]

I just used Metal Supermarket for the first time. I love that place.

[@fdlhmd_8687]

can't wait to see the outcome. Tavarish also doing Supra stuff. 😂

[@brokentissuebox]

awesome to hear the supra turn on!!! And its been a minute since I heard about the boat its been a while cant wait to see it!! :D

[@gman3725]

Easiest way to diagnose fuel pump issue is to spray brake clean or any other flammable solvent into the intake while cranking the engine over if it starts than you know you have no fuel from the fuel pump.

[@Jstark93]

That "gunk" is the seal for the bottom, stale fuel "varnish" will kill pumps and melt rubber.

[@ChutneyInc.]

You can make 470 with a 250phl . But the oem supra pump oem/jdm will do more. Rx7 guys drop that pump in. U can also go with aeromotive stealth 340 many other options.

[@racerx2084]

Just ask your boys tavarish and TJ what setup they have in their supras. A lot go with a hellcat style pump if not bigger. Then your running bigger injectors n possibly bigger fuel lines down the road

[@fiercenet]

Seeing these pre covid deals years later makes me a little sad

[@peterjarnes25]

[@freestyleskyline]

255 or even the 400 wall bro is the best one to go with for the price all day long. Basically plug and play and they're loud enough to tell you if they work or not

[@juanarappagis4192]

Loving this series can't wait to see it done! B is for build ladies and gentlemen!!

[@Woggin-ind]

If it primes the capacitor in the fuel pump relay control is leaking and shorting out pins, again, it shud NOT PRIME until you crank it, ecu activates the fuel pump when it sees crank angle sensor feedback.

[@spacesupra376]

a good advice..use back the clutch fan.. its better than any electronic fan.

[@tylerwall9396]

8:28, B is for Bang it Back to Life

[@leeverink32]

that is the prime mode of the pump. If it was on all the time (Like when the engine is running) it would flood the engine. You can feel the pressure on the hose under the hood When the engine is running. You can feel the pressure pulse truh the hose. you just cant hear the fuel pump running because the engine is on and the pump is to quiet for you to hear. I do no that you got. either a bad pump or a bad relais/fuse but sinds it has power on the plug it could be the pump. One more thing check the turbo's before they grenade on it

[@STOPH3R01991]

I want to chime in and say that the harbor freight dmm is alright if you're in a pinch, but having been through 8 of them, I'd just invest the money in a fluke. I use a t5600 and haven't had any complaints for years.

On my 2000 Civic Si the pump is super fragile. Always go Denso. Always keep a spare. all it takes is a multi-head screwdriver and 10MM. Less than 10 min.

[@thatdave86]

There was some 101 basic ha maybe you missed doing ! Flushing the fuel system would have helped the running ! Not using that washer on the filter banjo fitting could have caused problems,without you realizing it. You guys have the experience to do the right way ,double checking yourselves would be a benefit to you ,and understandably you maybe be distracted with your health ,it does things to ones mind or brain workings ,so take care and check each other

[@dazspurs9899]

you need to tap it at the same time as adding power.. worked on my older cars with a fuel pump and a starter motor 👍🏻

You are the ONLY reason I wish I still lived in Portland.

[@lunchboxjoeb]

a good multi meter is very handy, the better ones are safer and more accurate though.... 100 ish for a basic fluke and well under 100 for a Klein that will be much better than the HF one....

[@thedirtroadlesstraveled703]

The gold Icon ratchet is awesome.

[@GaragemdoBuda]

Some gas pump systems only prime when there is Oil pressure detected, in other words, only when you really try to get it running. Probably this is a fail safe to not start the engine without oil in it…. One way to turn on pumps in systems like this is to jump the oil pressure connector. That said, not sure if this is the case of Supras, never worked on them

Your meter measuring resistance and decreasing means it's reading across a capacitor. Caps charge with applied potential. No charge, high resistance. High charge low resistance. Wait, disregard.... The meter was reading volts. That can be a few other things. I don't know cars, but I know circuits.
