Uh, what part of his post didn't you understand?

http://tinyurl.com/54r2co ^ For semi-dummies.

Not much I can add. Kck and CyFi6 nailed it. Intermittent cooling is usually caused icing up of a faulty TXV, a bit of dirt, or a system that wasn't evacuated enough to get all the water out. On the gages it shows up as an abrupt drop in low side pressure. Could also be the 1J doesn't make...

S'ok. I'd have answered your first question but frankly I have no idea what you're talking about...

Best case, assuming it's stock or close, is you drive it for 21 years on 87 and nothing happens...just as it shouldn't.

Pinch the return line. If pressure shoots up the regulator is bad or installed wrong...

It's a closed loop/open loop question....

^ Wtf?

It is Russian. The cops are from Minsk, the capitol of Belarus, which is the last communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe. I'm not defending all of their actions but before you pass judgment consider that at least the guy is alive. Had he done what he did in the US he wouldn't be...

Normal code flashing? Gun set to zero?

I'll offer a few comments. First, I hope you were in there for some other reason because why someone would randomly go through the hassle this job involves when all they needed was a gallon jug and stopwatch is puzzling. Second, too many variables from car to car. Rust/water in the tank, age...

It boils down to getting three wires correct. Pretty tough to screw that up...

Lots has been said about it. There's a hose for the idle speed control valve and TB coolant loop. Look there. Also since the coolant path runs through the intake manifold if the bolts are loose it'll leak. Fwiw experienced mechanics will pressure test the coolant and fuel system after...

It might help your case to learn the difference between pre-ignition and detonation. CRE: The old "higher octane burns slower" myth needs to die. Not true.

31. I must have liked it to plunk down $26K cash. I still have it but not for long...

You're kidding about polarity I hope...

Meh, a cheap garden sprayer works fine. Don't expect it to hold up long though...

Sounds like a leak alright and it has to be entering the engine after the TB. Keep that in mind when looking for it...

Fwiw I always pressure bleed, the way it's done in aviation. Pressure bleeding works on the most stubborn and convoluted of hydraulic systems. Air would rather go up than down you know...

It may not solve your problem but at least it'll eliminate vacuum leaks as the cause. Just be sure the throttle plate is fully closed, as it's supposed to be. If the engine dies start looking elsewhere. Timing, improper ISCV operation, and fuel control will all cause high idle. It's probably...
