Either there is an invisible hole or there is a visibile hole (or crack). This precludes the idea that the hose and cap are positioned correctly.

He has a mechanical problem with his engine. A retest of compession and a vacuum test would do him some good. I wouldn't be suprsised if he had a huge vacuum leak like you suggest, saw it, put the hose back, and now drives ok to him. So he hasn't been back. That wouldn't suprise me...

Irrelevant. It could have a carburetor and still push air. You need the right exhaust A/R and a bigger engine to get them up to speed quick. The right A/R will also choke it off at higher engine speed.

Gates makes high quaility products that are sold all over the place under their own name. You won't gain horsepower. But it will last longer.

Yes. If you are implying his head bolt holes were cut sideways (an exageration to make a point), then it would have never sealed in its life.

I am not sure if your fuel pump runs properly anymore. Clarify your problems. Does the pump run all the time as you indicate here? Or you making the statement that the pump doesn't run when the engine is off. That is normal. You should not have the pump on with the key on engine off. The...

The EFI system probably works. The circuit opening relay is functioning. I would think of a secondary ignition problem. What codes is it storing?

And your car smokes black how much?

I am assuming he doesn't also have 12, but I don't know you can have both. That is why I said IGf.

I said an electronically controlled transmsission will not last long if it is for the GE and used on the GTE engine. The control units are not the same, but they should both work. Speed and gearing are figured into the programming, and that is what is different. The control protocol is the same...

Your guage reading would probably not be where it is if the thermostat wasn't open. Yours is hardly outside the realm of normal. Also, the ECU and guage are different sensors. But, always check, you never know.

Check for spark when it doesn't start. When you see it spark, then it that should tell you that the circuit from the ignitor to the ECU (IGf) is not complete.

Besides a high dollar machined straight edge from Snap-On or similar tool pimp? It looks like a yard stick, and you check with a .001" feeler guage.

That was actually a snide comment on the JZ infallibility myth. I will be watching to see what you find on the leak. :) I have seen that. And he was a really good tech. Those things happen.

He could always go with a low price 1JZ. I saw one on craigslist cheap that was overheating.

A lot of Toyota OEM shocks are Tokico.

An electronic controlled transmission for a 7MGE will work on 7MGTE. But it won't last long.

Is there anything else you discarded becaue you think you didn't need?
