    i have an idea on how to play with the acis

    I don't think the TPS input effects the valve operation. It is at a specific RPM. It is just over 4000 RPM. It is a butterfly valve, much like a throttle body that cuts the plenum in two. The newer systems such as on the 1MZFE Camry are more complicated and work better. It has mutliple...

    Putting the engine back in

    I have a 3 foot 1/2 drive extension and impact universal sockets. That is the secret you don't know. That extension from Snap-On was $80, if my memory is correct. You can get a better price from just about anybody.
