[Supras] timing belt, knock sensor, parking brake, whats next

[Jim Jobe]

t-belt probably jumped a tooth, too, resulting in bad exhaust cam timing
allowing raw fuel to flow out the exhaust and burn in the manifold and
turbine housing.

Knock sensors are 100% ok.

Parking brake - use it often?  If not, coincidence that the time you decide
to use it, it sticks.


Replace the t-belt and check the crank pulley.  The flange probably broke
off.

>  Bad thing happened this weekend. My knock sensor broke on the highway, car started running like crap, at first just hesitating and missing then like I was running out of gas, finally I was struggling to go even 60mph, I probably went 20 miles before I pulled over to find my exhaust and turbo housing glowing red hot,,yikes. I believe it pulled timing back soo much it caused all the heat.

So today before doing anything else  I took the adjusters off the parking brakes to disable them but I still dont know why the line is stuck, now I got the car rolling, it wont idle so I have to wait for the ks and I hope all that heat didnt cause any damage, turbo still spins smooth, cant tell what my motor sounds like because I was going to get the exhaust on this next week so now its still just a open dp.
