    My visit to socal and resulting Suprameet!

    It isnt the torque number, it is range in which it is produced. Nice burnout by the way. Just like the old 5.0.

    Condensor Fans

    Do what he said first. There is a dual pressure switch that should close electrically when the fan needs to come on. If it is defective, a new one is the only fix. Aside from fabrication.

    Fuel Pulsation Dampener

    Could be. Many Toyotas come with it, that are not high performance at all. Yeah, you can see it on a pressure gauge when it isnt working.

    A/C R-12 to R-134

    The reason R134 doesnt cool as well as R12 is that it doesnt maintain 1:1 pressure to temp ratio. R12 does. So by controlling the pressure exactly, we can control the temps exactly. New systems designed to work with R134 are just as cold. One other problem is some "proffessionals" arent...

    Multimeter testing

    Ask about a part and I will answer off the top of my head the best I can. The repair manual lists resistance specs for just about everything, but that isnt the best way to check. Voltage is. The ECU produces a 5 volt refrence for most sensors. The sensors modify the voltage and return it to the...

    Ebay "HKS SSQV" disassembled (pictures).

    Latex gloves. Which reminds me, my TV was made by Farnsworth himself.

    fog lights not working

    Does anything work on your car? ;) The fog lights are powered through the headlight circuit. You need a DVOM to check switches, or a test light. And the factory EWD will help tremendously.

    ac compressor not turning on

    Take it to an a/c shop. There are safety devices that keep it from running when low on refrigerant. You are low on refrigerant, or those switches are defective. They are cut out switches.

    Fuel Pulsation Dampener

    I hate to say it, but it is more over engineering by Toyota. The intention is just as the name implies. When the injector opens, it leaves a nice gap of air. The pulsation dampner is another way of increasing pressure so you dont have that gap but for a very short time. And GE's do come with...

    1UZ TPS Question

    You ought not start a thread that way. Good luck with your project though.

    Idle WTF?

    Start by checking DTC's. You probably have a fault in the idle air control circuit. edit: look for a vaccum leak also

    run a one piece driveshaft?

    I had an aluminum driveshaft on the old 5.0 Mustang. It ran much quiter and smoother. The old unit was slightly dented so it vibrated a bit. It came as a one piece. Perhaps a consideration was smoothness though. A u-joint is only supposed to have so much of an angle to it. And two...

    Dual Exhaust Setup?

    I think it would look good. I saw a picture in the very early 90's in Motor Trend. If you look at the diff, they slot both sides for pipes. But nobody now has one, or has ever seen it in person. Could have just been a preproduction idea scrapped.
