    Lex/560s wont go rich even with lots of fuelpressure and safc tweaks

    Where did you read that? It wasn't from the Sonic page where the mod was discovered. A stock Lex housing will run far more than that with out trimming the signal. I have skimmed ahead to see that you removed the SAFC and now it works right. Just more info for you. I have the stock Toyota...

    ac fuse keeps blowing

    Those things you listed aren't uncommon on other cars. Anybody that works in the industry proffessionaly knows it. And I get what you are saying. My last comment down this rabbit trail is this. I am on my 5th over almost two decades. I haven't had a problem yet with the "common problems". I...

    pockmarks in decked block?

    You said the pistons were installed. Don't sweat it. Balancing the engine and already installed doesn't compute. A balance is good. Git er done.

    Possible Damaged Vane Type AFM

    I never checked one. I am sure the part on multiple cars with different engines is the same. Like Camry's and the 5SFE. I think the intake hoses are the same, but am not positive. The MR2 with the 3SGTE also used that meter. So you can look to those for a part and a good baseline. That is all I...

    What Is Unique About Your MK3???

    Stock tire size? Otherwise that is 131.5, which is exactly where most top speed tests that I have seen in print put the car. I have seen the W58 with the wrong ratio listed at .75. That could be your calculation error. It is .78. That is a healthy running 7MGE. As it should be. Not if they...

    Intermittent misfire

    Not that I don't doubt his engine timing is off, but an engine out of time won't cause an "intermittent misfire". But it will make a permanent one, and in general just run bad.

    ac fuse keeps blowing

    In the wiring diagram for your year. My guess is the clutch has an issue, and when you unplug it, you can test both sides. In the manual you will also see the dual pressure switch and the amplifier. This is why you check for ground first where it isn't supposed to be. As long as you...

    High EGT's how much timing advance can you run on a stock 7mgte? more then 10?

    Run closer to 10.5:1 and your temps will go down. You dont' have to go as low as Toyota stock levels of 9.7:1. You could have too much ignition timing as you have indicated if you scaled the airflow meter (raised boost cut).

    7mge top engine rebuild

    Yeah, do it correctly. The block and head must be flat for a new headgasket.

    7mge BHG

    Stock headbolts are as good as the ARP bolts. The composite gasket is used because iron and aluminum are dissimilar metals. So is a circuit breaker. So guess what happens when you get it hot. The composite gasket has give to keep its seal. A MHG is done and tightened to stop the natural warpage...

    pockmarks in decked block?

    Maybe IJ can explain how you balance an engine with the pistons already installed. Because I don't know how you weigh the piston and rod, then spin the crank if they are installed. If the machine shop doesn't do business with dealerships, you shouldn't either. I don't know about your...

    High EGT's how much timing advance can you run on a stock 7mgte? more then 10?

    How high of temps, what A/F ratio. Changing the CPS also changes the injection point. Keep that in mind.

    What Is Unique About Your MK3???

    Mine was never owned by some of the newer Supra types (post F&F). It doesn't (nor ever will) have a large wing, aftermarket wing/spoiler, lip, wheels, steering wheel....my A/C works...but I will say mine isn't unique, just unusual. There are others that are not yet molested.

    ac fuse keeps blowing

    You haven't checked for ground where it isn't supposed to be yet? That is the first thing. The fuse powers the magentic clutch. That is the second check.

    A340E Basic Rebuild kit

    I haven't dug in a rebuild kit in some time. But I can't see in the pack if all that is really needed is really there. Sadly, this is a nonservicable unit as far as Toyota is concerned. So we can't get parts anymore from them. I know from some ebay sellers the description being one thing, and...

    possible short to ground? or bad ground

    After you sort the through the harness issue, the radio will probably turn on. Of course I don't know if your radio works.
