Lol, yep, scratch that. =)

Very minor amount of coolant loss. And it was alot of smoke. But thankfully, it has not smoked at all since, so somehow I must have sprayed water on something that leads into the cylinders. I will still be monitoring it closely though. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the tips! I checked for steam coming out of my coolant reservoir straw when engine was hot and had someone holding pedal at 2k and did not see anything =) Also, it just occurred to me that the reason I was blowing white smoke maybe because when I was hosing the engine bay down I did...

I think it was, but it was machined or whatever to make it flat. I just remembered the other cause it could be, I've been running water only as a coolant for a bit over a week until i get some Toyota red. I've only driven it a few times though, is a week long enough to cause any significant...

Yeah, it was re-torqued. I hope it was just puddled somewhere, can't really understand where though... I'll try it again.

So I was fixing my brakes today. When i finished i started the car and went for a test drive, and i notice i am blowing white smoke out the exhaust. I then smell coolant... =( I had a BHG 4 years ago and had a complete rebuild done because of it. Could it really have gone again? the block was...

Good news, Sorted the problem out today. It was the spark plugs! just changed them with some spares I had lying around. =) This thread helped: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?104519-Splattering-Missing-under-load-gt-10-vacuum

Well, I checked my broke TPS with a DMM as per the TSRM and only signal between the E2 and IDL terminals isn't working properly. The throttle position other than at idle is sending a continuously increasing resistance signal to the ECU so from this I would assume my broke TPS only has an issue...

Okay, but any idea what it would run like if it was disconnected?

So, car has been running fine for last couple of years. Then the other night, let my younger brother do some learner driving, car was bucking like a bull while he was learning to use the clutch, as you do. Then as he is driving it, I notice it is missing when he accelerates/puts the pedal down...

This would be ideal, thanks.

From what I can see, its just one pipe from the muffler to what I think is the cat then a pipe to the down pipe. thats it.

Ok, maybe it just doesn't show up on youtube vids.
