    Default HELP PLEASE

    87 supra, 7mgte w/ 75k on motor,

    1. I'm not sure if its the cat, or if its the oil, smokes alot but only when it starts up, after its sits for a good few minutes, its clean. the last owner took it for emissions back in 05 and paper shows that it didn't pass the last part of 3 part of the test.


    2. Left headlight wont stay on, unless highbeam is on, and tail lights work but when stepping on the brakes the left tail doesnt turn on.


    ANY SUGGESTIONS OR HELP?


    yeahhhhhh you likeeeee when she does thattttttt

    Is it white smoke? Does it shoot out a puff of smoke anytime you let it idle for a second and step on the gas? It may be your valve guide seals.

    Exactly what is part 3 of the emissions?
