    Idle problem

    hmm- just the opposite of normal.

    Cant figure this one out :(, help!!

    Yup- you have a fuel issue. Timing should be around 10 degrees btc, so check it as well. But check TSRM for troubleshooting diagnosis.

    Idle problem

    sounds like you might have the safc tuned to run it too rich. This is completely a guess of course, but sounds like you have the opposite of a vacuum leak- ie: too much air for the fuel. Rather, you might have too much fuel for the air. It would explain why rpms would drop to almost normal when...

    Clunk sound from rear- Anyone ever had a bad half shaft?

    Did you get a clunk when in neutral and braking?

    Cant figure this one out :(, help!!

    No. High temps cause NOX. NOX can't even form at less than ~2200-2500 degrees. HC is high because he is rich. NOX is low(a good thing) because being so rich causes low combustion temps. Normally the NOX is reduced by the EGR system introducing spent ex. gasses, which reduces combustion chamber...

    Clunk sound from rear- Anyone ever had a bad half shaft?

    Same here- I CAN shift without getting the clunk, but but the norm is to get some clunk. SO, All us guys on here that have a clunk, and we can't figure it out...

    idle setting

    I think that screw, which strikes the dashpot piston, is just for helping to normalize the rpm dropoff when closing the throttle quickly. I don't think it adjusts idle at all.

    No oil pressure anymore.

    Wondering if the knocking was really from the rod. Are you sure that the oil pump drive shaft didn't break?

    Very bad coolent leak.

    Step one: Replace the cap Step two: Have a delicious beverage.

    Cant figure this one out :(, help!!

    NOX is way low- I wish that was my reading. A really rich mixture would keep combustion temps low, helping to reduce NOX, not to mention bump up CO. Is this not correct? ps- you mentioned the turbo, but what are you doing with fuel mods?

    Who makes solid subframe bushings

    I have them from BIC, but they're nylon, not AL. Like you say, they do their job. Expect a bit more noise to be transmitted inside, of course.

    Clunk sound from rear- Anyone ever had a bad half shaft?

    Say Poodles- Do you(or anyone else) know if the Energy suspension kit includes the #1 and #2 lower arm bushings in question?

    2010 Southeast Supra Fall Meet

    Well, my thought is- There's Buford drive, just east of the 85/985 intersection, and the 985 guys would prolly just jump on Buford to get down to 85 anyway. There's Moe's southwest grill right before the highway, next to mall of GA, and there's the Jerk shack just south of the highway. That...

    pistons wet, no start...

    There's a drain plug in the bottom of the tank. I think it's a square plug, perhaps a 1/2" ratchet will lock right in- I can't recall, though I've done it before.

    Clunk sound from rear- Anyone ever had a bad half shaft?

    Can't, meta- Just left town, and won't be back for a week. Poodles- are those the bushings on the lower suspension arms?

    pistons wet, no start...

    One ounce of Seafoam is too much. I keep hearing horror stories about seafoam. Sounds to me like you might have coolant mixing into the cylinders. no matter how old your gas might be, it shouldn't be 'thick'. PS- stop setting fire to it. put the spark plugs in, crank the engine with the...

    just some questions about tms street pistons.

    You can reduce CR by using a thicker metal head gasket. I know that Wiseco's will produce about a 9:1 CR as well.

    Its so hot!

    I'm not clear on this- are you saying that having the AC equipment in the car somehow reduces radiant heat to the interior, or are you saying that he should put in the AC in order to cool the interior down by using it??
