What the good Dr is telling you is that FCO is achieved when the frequency of the air monitored by the AFM reaches 1600Hz. Fuel is irrelevant in that scenario. I think what you are trying to say is that you arent actually hitting ECU caused FCO, but rather your fuel pump and related systems...

yikes...slow down a bit first. You really need to read up on stuff BEFORE you do any work. It will save you time and us as well. off the top of my head I will make a guess and say that when you did the intake manifolds you either didnt get them clean enough, you warped them with an improper...

your car sounds like what mine did when I first got it running. You are going BIG PIG RICH @ high RPM, motor is going to fall flat on its face around 4500RPM. Even with me running 580's and taking 30% of the fuel out I was rich, but not so rich it was falling flat. You need smaller injectors...

Woah woah, slow down a second here. Lets get some correct info here first regarding: Those are VSV's for the fuel pressure regulator and the EGR. If the EGR one is borked that could definately be messing with your idle. The one for the FPR is there to open to atmospheric pressure under high...

damn someone beat me too it. I was gonna vote call it a day, then PM you for the lip, lol. If the frame is straight, and the motor is untouched, I would definately say go for it. I dont really see a good reason to send another nice mk3 to the scrapyard or off to a part out. Seems to me the...

I see your 250 miles, and raise you 2800... :biglaugh: 5 states away, heh. But on topic here, who needs a key, I have a whole ignition switch you just plug into the harness on the column. The point is, if thieves want your car, they will find a way, but I agree with the op and say...

uhhhhh huh huh...he said insert hardness..huh huh [/beavisvoice]

Well Im gonna have to admit I dont know the correct answer to that question. My best guess is helicoil, but I dont know if thats really appropriate for a head bolt. This is a low boost or NA application right? I gotta think helicoiling would work. Hopefully someone more knowledgable about...

can i run the head missing one bolt? No. not even a chance. Unless you dont mind doing the whole job over again. Can i skip the washer and just use the bolt by it's self? no and it probably wouldnt give you enough threads to torque it down right anyway. Can i reuse my HG? yes, if...

Dude that would totally rock! Let us know if you get in, I will make it a point to watch.

More likely Portland Duane. I have been living in the deserts now for so long that I cant see myself living in Seattle. Im a bit of a depressive to begin with, I think moving to the suicide capital of the US would be a bad idea, lol. (hey at least Im realistic about my faults, right?) My...

Im trying to sell some of my leftover parts and Im now also liquidating my personal belongings in preparation for going back to the NW. There is no way I want to have to haul all that crap back up there. Ive got a couple of things in the works right now on Lucy. Im was still having issues...

Wow, welcome to my world. lol

Im sorry I cant help you with a local shop up there but I have a suggestion that might help. Call the local toyota dealerships and ask for the service department manager. Explain that you are looking for a reputable machine shop that knows the ins and outs of Toyota motors. Ask him who they take...

Gixer, that really friggin sucks man, Im really sorry to hear that. If you know anything about my troubles recently you know I know what you feel like. Ive made up my mind that if I lose my current motor Im going 2J, maybe that would be something to give you a new found desire to stay in it. As...

This is gonna sound drastic but believe me once you do it you will see that it is the way to go. Take out the driveshaft, unbolt the transmission cross member and drop down the back of the motor and trans together. Then you can use a bunch of extensions to get to the starter bolts. Trying to get...

ROFL... ::hah:: made you think!

my initial look at it made me think the same thing. Mat fags! (ok, I know they would totally kick my ass...but rolling around on the floor with another sweaty guy is not my idea of a good time)

Well we are gonna have to get together then because when I get up there I will probably stay with my sister for a little while in Salem as well while looking for a job and a place in Portland, lol. Looks like we have similiar situations brewing. Tim up in Oly is still deciding where he is going...
