In the sincere spirit of educating (rather than coming across as a weenie) I'm forced to point out the MagnaFlux process is only applicable to ferrous materials ;)

PuskLok is fine as long as you use the proper hose and stay within the temp and pressure specs. You don't have to use AQ. Earls, Summit, there are others. Btw that ebay stuff is Chinese if that matters.

I guess you could try that. Not sure if that'll help with the idle though. I don't have a safc so I'm not familar with it. I have the same setup you do though and don't have any problems. In fact my car runs opposite your's at idle. I let it run a little rich at WOT because I'm not there much...

Try living off airline food.... I eat fast food just to keep up my immunity ;)

Remember, if Vf is in range it doesn't neccesarily mean the engine is running rich or lean, it only means the ecu is working "harder" to make things right. Don't worry so much about idle but it it's 0 or 5 volts under steady state load that needs to be resolved. isnms:you're welcome....and...

Vf2? That's a new one on me. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Kudos to isnms...you can't ask for better than that. PM me if you need to. You should get one of those voltage levels and never higher than 5 so you're doing something wrong. Check the voltmeter across the battery.

You sure got that right ;)

Anti-dive is derived from the engine ecu, speed sensor, and stop light switch. I forget the exact conditions required but the system is pretty stupid in some ways. For example, for anti-squat all you need to do is add pedal (even slowly) with the key on (engine off) and it'll go firm. Does it...

That'd be something to see. Not only expensive but it'd be hard to total up the number of federal laws broken. The violations of EPA Section 609 alone boggle the mind ;). You could theoretically use the A/C system in the car to do this with some modification but you'd have to shed the heat...

I see 'em on Ebay all the time for 5 bux or so. It's a real simple gadget if you know anyone who has even minor electronics expertise.

Fwiw the TEMs controller has no idea how hard you've applied the brakes as it's only connection to the braking system is the brake light switch. Anti-dive is based on other things but what you see makes it appear to be associated with hard braking. Again, running the TEMs diagnostics will help...

Ah, you have a safc...I missed that. Well, if you smell unburnt fuel at the tailpipe it may be running rich. Is the the pipe sooting up? Have a wideband? What's it say? Changing the the fuel pump doesn't change fuel pressure unless you've installed an AFPR and messed with it. The Lex AFM and...

10-40 is archaic but still popular among those who don't understand oil, which is just about everyone, but it's ok. Depends on the climate, base stock, add pack, and a few other things. The trend is towards thinner oils these days. If you stick with what the owner's manual recommends for the...

Lots of things flow better than paper. No filter at all flows better than paper. All of them flow more dirt than paper. Paper flows all you'll ever need and filters better than anything. Run anything but paper, do oil analysis, and you'll see. Filters are not the limiting factor with airflow...

TEMs functions and connections to TEMs controller: Anti-squat...TPS (via the ecu) Anti-dive...brake switch (direct connection) Anti-roll....steering sensor. (direct connection) High Speed Firm....speed sensor (direct connection). Run the TEMS diagnostics to check the sensors

It kud b meny tings bot if yur engen cane bak to live it proly wht me say.

A paper filter will flow all the air you'll ever need (although your intake may not) and will filter better than anything out there. I had an K&N on my car and took it off after seeing the damage it was doing. You couldn't pay me to run anything but paper but if you're going to run an oiled...

I was going to ask if you did that but didn't really want to ;)

Hey there 3p. Yeah, the records show the MKIII comes up bad in Cali. Not sure why that is except for maybe it's age and bad maintenence but lots of them get tagged as Test Only. From what I've heard failures tend to be mainly for HC. I tell ya, Enhanced has been nothing but a headache for...
