    what are some pusher Electric fan options? quiet - efficient

    Choose two. If it moves air, it is not quiet.

    lean idle, rich wot, NO boost leak. any thoughts?

    It is. Turn the screw back in some. Full load can be 9.7-10.5, depending on conditions. That is the goal because the car does not have forged pistons and to control detonation. And yes, 9.8:1 will make less power than 10.5:1.

    lean idle, rich wot, NO boost leak. any thoughts?

    So what is the issue? Aside from a lean idle and having all that bypass from the screw? Well, about 10 is normal, even high 9. But he has the screw all the way out causing too much air to bypass. 14.7 at a partial load is what it is supposed to do. That keeps the catalyst in its operating range.

    chasing intermittent signal to ecu (code 11)

    That is the male side, not the female side. It can't. Not unless the harness has been cut and spliced elsewhere. 0 from VF can be more than just lean if you do not do the pins right. It can mean a code stored. And what does it do on decel? Since during decel you go lean, with injection...

    advice on blowby isssue

    My response was going to be similar. For example this statement. So you can measure sidewall clearance (honing) with your eyes? What is smoking a ton on decal? Oil smoke? Thick black compression bypass?

    !jz knocking sound

    Lots of things can knock when cold, and when they heat, the clearance is taken up.

    !jz knocking sound

    That is usually what people call rod knock, which is really bearing noise from excessive clearance. It can happen to all engines. The symptom is the dead give away. That is normal for rod knock. The sound goes away because the heat decreases the oil viscosity and it circulates and coats the...

    Can you wire the headlight switch to a toggle switch?

    You did all of that instead of replacing the switch?

    chasing intermittent signal to ecu (code 11)

    Constantly moving wires around or the PCM can subject the female end to stress it isn't meant to have. It is possible you are loose. There is even a "feeler gauge" for the pins to make sure they have not opened up. As I said, it is a clue that should be investigated further. Eyeballing it is not...

    Can you wire the headlight switch to a toggle switch?

    The Autozone generic switch has a wire you just hook up and it communes with the integration relay to make the motor retract relay go up and down, and shut off with out going down. Word up for autozone and $10 switches.

    89 7mgte runs rough no throttle response

    He said the car ran with starting fluid. Aside from an empty fuel tank or bad pump that he over looked... I still don't think all the information is out.

    Injectors won't pulse not getting power

    After reading the other thread, no. There is no injection, as mentioned in this thread, with out the STA signal, and after that Ne and Ks.

    In addition to the wideband? The Toyota "wideband" that they call the air/fuel ratio sensor operates at a much higher heat range than a standard oxygen sensor. I don't know why yours would not be the same way.
