    home-brewed vf meter

    VF has no bearing on what the car is doing at wot other then to show you that your in open loop (0.0V). You can toss those diagrams out and save yourself the hassle of making a vf display. hook the blue wire up to the vf output from the ecu. Look under etc. and under check sensor. second...

    What do your vf's read at idle when its displaying this? Boost leak test? condition of injectors and their o rings? Fuel pressure?

    home-brewed vf meter

    Does your safc have a blue wire that is not used on the harness? You can tune with the vf's or max them out (like many do with VE on the maft pro) to creat your own af ratio at a certain range. However since the safc or neo is rpms based, its not useful except at idle and at constant load...

    Front Main Seal Replacement

    cough cough, replace the crank timing belt pulley. Newer one has more welds holding on the belt guide. Make sure the keyway is good too. I always replace the bolts i take off that are vital (crank bolt) and make sure the crank snout has a nice layer of antisieze on it for future work.

    innovative idle air fuel ratio problem

    what does the exhaust sound like? pops and gurgles? You put the sensor before the cat correct? any exhaust leaks upstream? Does it show a richer af ratio at cruise?

    Oil Leak between timing cover/head patchable?

    I was under the impression that the headgasket and head created a bit of compression on the timing cover and the pan. It just slides right out/in?

    Front Main Seal Leak

    Got to pull the pulleys and timing pulley off the crank snout. Id replace all the seals unless they are fresh already (cams, oil pump shaft, etc..) Inspect the keyway as well. I would replace the timing belt pulley also with the updated one because if yours comes apart, you get to do it again...

    Fixing a Month-Long Blonde Moment

    on my old (2003) dodge pick up, the door sticker PSI kept tire wear normal/ flat/ even. If i went over/under i got the high spots or cupping. All the tires ranged at 50-60 psi max ps (20/55/275r)i. The sticker called for 35psi. Any deviation caused serious tire wear within 5-10,000 miles...

    Fixing a Month-Long Blonde Moment

    I guess i never understood it as setting tire limitations. I thought it was how to get the best wear/performance from a given tire with a stock suspension... Why else would they put a sticker like that in there?

    Fixing a Month-Long Blonde Moment

    say what?! i was always told the sticker on the CAR is what you should follow for DD and best wear and what not. At what point do you begin to get wear patterns consistent with over inflation then?
