    overheating and other probs. help.

    As I said, there is a few sensors on your thermostat housing, that caused mine to spit and sputter then die. It would run fine for a lil while, then stall, and fire back up on me. It ended up being bad wiring for the ECU temp sensor. I'll get some pics of what im talking about a lil later...

    gurgling noise in morning?

    Thats just your car coming off the cold start injector. It add's fuel until a certain temp is reached and then stops. Its like the choke in older cars. Choke would cut off air to make the car run richer, and the cold start just adds fuel to make the mixture richer. It should start higher...

    Next Mod?

    What are your HP goals? I would say while you have the motor apart and your doing the MHG, put in a set of cams like the crower 264's that are mild enough to keep it streetable, but a lobe big enough to add some extra HP. You can also use the stock springs and retainers with the 264 cams, but...

    couple prolly noobish questions. Any help??

    The fact of the matter is the EGR was not in toyota's origional design of the 7M motor or it would have come on every single one that rolled off their production lines. It was something added to meet USDM spec at the time. Just like cali cars needing dual cat's now and every other car in the...

    couple prolly noobish questions. Any help??

    Oh by the way, After reading your other thread you referenced to, you are way off base on alot of your assumptions. An EGR is in place to redirect the inert exhaust gasses out of the #6 cylinder back into the intake. Which in turn basically smothers the ability for pre detonation by making...

    couple prolly noobish questions. Any help??

    Ok I love your rant here. And I am well over 18. So lets start this way. I have more cars i have built with no ill effects of an EGR block off other than raised cylinder temps. The EGR is designed to flow unused gasses out of your exhaust in the #6 cylinder into your intake which kinda...
