Well today started out pretty decent; washed the supra on the way to get new rear tires installed. Got the tires mounted, turns out one of my rims is a little bent up (you can see an inner caliper move in a couple of spots) they said it wasn't too bad and just balanced the rim for me to where everything was stable. Tires were great (275/40/17 BFG g-force sport), nice and meaty.
I cleaned out all the stuff in the supra, checked all the fluids, and got ready to head down to the drag strip with the brand new tires. Then the supra wouldn't run; it would start and fire up, but immediately die. I couldn't find anything out of the norm outside of a broken water temp wire (gauge wire), so I fixed that and tried again. Still not running. I noticed on the maft-pro that my wide band was reading very rich at idle when I was just revving it to keep it alive (8-9 afr when running). Then I noticed that the wide band reading with the engine not running at all was 10 afr! Obviously not right. So I know the wide band is reading off, but when the engine was running, it was really rich; I could see wisps of black smoke and smell fuel faintly. So my big plan to head down to the drag strip is completely out the window.
Sorry for ranting some, just needed to share the experience a little
.
Has anyone else had the LC-1 wide band just all of a sudden read way off when it was working great just before? I guess I'll start by taking it out and performing a free air calibration again. I'll get to it tomorrow, tired of the supra for tonight.
