    My 7MGE will not idle correctly, runs rich

    Your vacuum is low, 5600 feet or not. That indicates a worn engine, assumign it is also low and you are correct about 10 with TE1 and E1 connected. I wonder how you determine the air flow meter works correctly. It has a spring loaded door with a potentiometer that tells the PCM how far the door...

    Why is my car not droping 2 gears when i floor it?

    Kind of narrows it down don't you think? The trans does not have a governor valve or throttle valve. It has a speed sensor and TPS to calculate shifting.

    So. Here is a quote for you. See how that works. I can do it too. Them saying it doesn't make it so. Or me saying it or anybody else. EGR operates in a limited rpm range, it doesn't just flow all the time.

    While it is true that man made global warming is actually a hoax, NOx has nothing to do with CO2.

    7mgte FFIM no ISC sensor port, can i delete ISC?

    50% of the time the learned position for ISC is wrong.

    pros/cons running bigger wheel in rear

    O v e r s t e e r You can even do it in a 4 cyl 5SFE Camry without the parking brake.

    pros/cons running bigger wheel in rear

    I wonder how that slipped by all the engineers.

    And no, Toyota didn't just tack them on for no reason. The reason for wanting to lower combustion temps is to lower the formation of NOx.

    Really Stupid Coolant Issue.:cry:

    All that will do is dilute your oil and pollute the air. Who said that anyway? Start the car. Wait 10 seconds, then drive normal. Avoid jack rabbit starts until the car is at operating temperature. You will never guess where that answer comes from Besides the laws of physics....

    Looking for advice after failing CA smog check

    That happens with exhaust because it is inert.

    Really Stupid Coolant Issue.:cry:

    What do bombs have to do with the issue? Did you mean "Boom!" as an in your face exclamation?

    TCCS relearns the ISCV position. It does this so you don't stall.

    steering sticking only when turning right

    It is the rack, not the pump. There is a valve that diverts left and right to the rack. Its going to be fubar soon.

    7MGTE, Truck Motor Torque Build (7MGTE + GT3071R discussion)

    I was refering to heat and pressure. This is why all turbo cars respond so well to a big exhaust.

    7mgte FFIM no ISC sensor port, can i delete ISC?

    My comment has nothing to do with bumping an old thread for info. Often, that is fine and brings back subjects that people can read and learn. Scratch the last part. It is hard for me to comprehend somebody asking how to remove the device used to control idle speed.

    7MGTE, Truck Motor Torque Build (7MGTE + GT3071R discussion)

    Free flowing exhaust does not stay hot. Unless you some how wrap it or coat it. And that will still only do so much. The manifold needs to be just the right length for maximum acceleration of the exhaust gas. And I wonder how many actually figured out what it is for each engine and turbo...

    dumb question about timing

    You are also giving a false base for injection timing.

    Code 14

    Pull a plug wire, put in an old plug that isn't fouled, and ground it. If it sparks, you have a break in the IGf wire. I would think more along the lines of a bad pick up signal.

    Code 14

    14 means the PCM did not get spark confirmation. So injection is halted. 14 could be a break in wiring from the ignitor to the PCM blocking spark confirmation (IGf) or you never got spark, so there was no signal.

    Code 14

    The random starts are from the bad wiring giving you an intermittent open. Putting your foot on the floor has no effect on its starting. Unless you pour a bunch of gas down the intake. Because when you put your foot on the pedal like that while cranking, stops injection.
