No pics of it yet, but I have pulled the maft pro out, and begun wiring in the DET3. I had purchased this piggyback used, so I was a little scared that it might be faulty. I plugged the det3 into my laptop and gave it 12 volts, and thankfully, it seems to work. Since it has an internal map...

Good luck on the build. Looks like a very nice car to start with.

Beautiful car, and if I'm not mistaken, I saw some of these pictures on a Facebook posting as well. PS- Your use of the words, 'parlance', 'woeful' and 'consummate' are way too eloquent for Supramania; in the future, please dumb it down a bit for us 6th grade readers. :)

Plugs on the CPS are brand new Toyota, and the issue only showed up when the injectors were swapped. The injector wiring is EV1/ Denso adapters, so no cutting or splicing was done. The last 2 days have been largely sputter-free. I added injector cleaner to the fuel 3 days ago. Who knows...maybe...

I tried reproducing the 2000rpm cutout the other day, but it wouldn't do it. My stumble at idle was really bad though, I definitely had a cylinder missing. So I pulled over and checked the injector contacts. Disconnecting and reconnecting #1 injector seemed to clear it mostly up, and the idle...

That sounds even more labor intensive than retrofitting all the oem system components and wiring, but good luck.

Lol, sorry- I completely missed the video link at the top! Sounds like you have 2 sounds going on there- the loud ticking(and part of that might be exhaust leak), and also a lower knocking sound. That'll be the rods. If it goes away when warmed up, it may just be wider clearances, and not rodknock.

Great progress, man. Let's see that start up video.

Update: Replaced plug wires, no change. :( All plug wires are in the #3 valve cover wire holders. I will check the cps wires, to see if there is any effect from messing with them.

I've never removed that line from the rack before. Never heard of it ever leak, though. I would imagine that it's a straight forward procedure to replace with fresh bent piping, though. Just be sure of the threading size. I'm sure it's metric, and parts stores usually carry metric fuel line, so...

video?

Yes, if the engine was fully warmed up, and I gave wot, occasionally it would cut out on a cylinder. Now, this WAS what it was doing, and I wasn't sure if it was an injector connection, or a spark plug wire grounding out. I replaced plugs, cleaned the injector contacts, cleaned the igniter...

Install TEMS shocks, run inputs for steering angle, tps, brakes, install TEMS motors, install rear TEMS harness( only front is installed in non-TEMS cars, to my knowledge), install TEMS computer, build a controller...This seems like an awful lot of work to retrofit a system that won't perform as...

Pic of the #6 cylinder area of the head, please.

Well, I got the shift knob done. PS- forgot to add to the to-do list: Replace clutch(again). I bought a stage 3 clutch a while back, and need to install it at some point. The existing clutch doesn't slip yet, but it's close.

As the video explains, I get an engine miss, only when pushing the clutch pedal in about one inch. It's not far enough to disengage the clutch, but maybe far enough to activate the clutch safety switch, perhaps? The car is 7mgte, 560cc injectors, Lexus maf, intake and exhaust. No other engine...

Well, I'm trying to wean myself off buying stuff for the 89 Supra(new oem shift knob, custom fit floor mats and sunshade this week). Today, a package finally came in for the project car: Yay! New fan blade for the '88. The car DID have a new fan, but the '89 stole it. So here's the new, NEW...

True, you would get a lean condition at idle and light cruise, but it would go pig rich at wide open throttle, since the leak point would be causing pressurized air to escape. What diagnostic codes are stored?

Sorry, no number for it, but it's simply an Ebay TRD knob. They're pretty cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Manual-Leather-Shifter-Shift-Knob-Red-Stitch-TRD-Logo-Black-JDM-Fit-Toyota-Scion-/252506676033?hash=item3aca921b41:g:~UoAAOSwSHZWc8CK&vxp=mtr
