    I have been running *very* lean in the 3-4k range under part throttle, the dangerous spot that we are told shows itself when you remove your EGR system and run a USDM ECU. Vf always seem to be normal when the off-the-chart lean condition shows itself. To fix this, or so I hoped, I purchased a...

    Need Help Diagnosing Head/Engine Noise (Video)

    Hey Guys, I'd like to ask if you could listen to my video recording of my 7M-GTE's new head noise and see if we can come to a consensus on what it might be. I need to flat-bed it a few hundred miles soon and I'm trying to get as much of the diagnosing out of the way before I put it up for...

    Honing a Single Cylinder

    Hi All, Over the summer I had a valve seat fall out into cyl 2 and trash the piston, fortunately it was only at start-up and the pieces did not go far. The walls are pretty clean, and while I can barely catch a nail on the wall of a scar I believe I should be able to hone some of it out. I...

    Problem Cannot build any boost at all. Car can be driven only if very careful not getting into the turbo. Has a hard time even getting up to 30mph because it will throw codes described below. Specifically 34 which we all associate with Fuel Cut as a result of High-Boost levels. Car runs...
