Amen to that! I was assuming the worst because that's just my luck...just get it back together and running right after a year and time to start over lol...thing is tho after tearing it all down and putting everything back together I wasn't scared of doing the work again so I had comfort in that...

FP and +B Go over the tsrm efi section. I know it looks daunting to someone like myself still learning, but if you look at it and take your time and test what it tells you to test you can rule out damn near any problem you come across with a multimeter. If you start learning the EFI system on...

^it left my shop, full rebuild.... Update...the supragods were on my side this time! Turns out the cam gear just came loose and threw it off timing. The tapping I heard was the spokes of the cam gear hitting against the bolts behind it on the rear timing cover since the cam gear was angled so...

Doubt they have it in stock, but they will order it in for you. You could try calling them. Kansas City warehouse has one, Part#11115-42021 I think. Or just go with DM, it says its the actual Toyota part.

JJ sorry for a possible dumb question, but how do you monitor this pressure drop? And thanks for sharing, i didnt know a filter that is essentially "broke-in" would filter any better than a brand new one.

I was able to narrow my symptoms down to fuel problem for sure. Then i knew if i checked for fuel pressure everywhere from the pump to the afpr i would find my issue. Assuming you have the afpr installed properly, If your getting fuel to the afpr then you know your getting fuel to the rail. In...

Try Toyota?

I will be very soon, just haven't been able to get to it yet. Had my daughters bday party and work in the way...I'm getting it on the car trailer tonight to get it back to the shop. Like I said just not knowing what it is is killing me and I'm very impatient lol. I'm really hoping the dowel pin...

Oh..lol I cut the front cover to show the gears....just like the look of it that way

I can't tell what the cam is doing until I open the valve covers up...that's why I'm asking for opinions on what it could be doing, because I just hear something hitting the top of the valve cover and the cam gear is all sorts of wobbly.

Sounds fuel related because you have to give it gas to keep running and it breaks up when there is high fuel demand (upper rpms)...how do you know you have slightly higher than stock fuel pressure? I just went through a long fuel issue diagnosis. Do you have an afpr?

Kind of stupid to spend the money on a good machine shop, good head gasket, ARP hardware, new internals, and do everything right when a slight over heating one time can throw it all away...cars suck ass.

I torqued them per tsrm in right order im confident of the proper torque part...I guess what my question is, is if the dowel pin just broke and the gear pulled away from the timing cover and jumped off timing or something what could I be hearing in the valve cover? Or in other words...does the...

Lol Yeah figures... So you're telling me there's a chance (dumb and dumber voice).. Idk i did pull over right when gauge started to rise and it never reached red but the radiator was super hot as well. Definitely running way hotter than it should have been. Have you ever heard of that happening...

All started when I drove the car from the shop to home for the first time, its about 10 miles. Car was finally running great and I was very happy but about halfway it started getting jerky, which I especially noticed at low speeds. No cel came on and i just wanted to get it home. Then right...

No idea, but the stock one is 13.

Cometic** damn autocorrect

Welp got fancy and made it out to the shop...boost leak test was actually good, no leaks...so funny story...messed with my ecu connectors a bit and made sure they were all good and took it for a quick drive around the shop..it ran good and the vf stayed right around 2.5. So took it on the road...

Reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to pin-point the issues. Car will start and idle great but when driving I get the classic boost leak symptoms at random...Car gets jerky/power cuts out and the cel flashes for a second, then it will go off and it builds and holds power fine again for...

Turbo seals... but now comes the time where you tell me that's not possible and not to post in technical and then I go put my tail between my legs... Seriously though I had a buddy that blew his seals in short order and swears it was from too high of oil pressure to the turbo, and it always...
