soo..ive got a...technical question. and this is a little out of my comfort zone to diagnose on my own.

now i understand how a fuel system works. but on the supra, with that vsv valve er whatever it is. im scratching my head. heres what my symptoms are..

at wot i am experiencing hesitation, kinda....cracking and popping if u will. and every once in a while it will backfire when shifting lets say to 3rd from 2nd when just crusing around. this is a new symptom and is getting worse. it will "miss" if u will while driving now and when it does this miss, the fpr guage shoots way to the right around 16.0 plus. then comes back down.

info on my cars fuel system, walbro 255 on stock fuel system. literally. 440's, stock afm, stock fuel rail with new fpr and fpd. my goal was to get the highest hp outta stock fuel system other than the fp.

my question is... exactly how does the supras fuel system work. meaning what role does this vsv valve play in the operation of the fpr? if any. have i surpassed the limits to what the stock fuel rail or fpr can handle by adding the wb255? and can i by pass the vsv valve and hook the fpr up to a diferent vaccume sorce. or..should i just do the common upgrade for the fpr?

i have looked for this on here, and nothing really fullfilled my question. if i can get video to load on here i will go to my buddys kyle and well beat the piss outta the car with some vid so u can see. untill then... can someone shed some intelligent light on this for me please??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!:1zhelp:

The VSV for fuel pressure only is active during hot restart. Its effect that i have found from tweaking my standalone is to increase fuel pressure on hot startup so the engine runs smooth on the very hot, low density fuel in the rail.

When the engine it shut off hot, the fuel it the rail becomes stagnant and gets VERY hot. This fuel looses density from this heat. Figure fuel evaporates at ambient temps, so at 200+ degrees F much more fuel is needed until the hot fuel is purged from the rail

I have noticed with my standalone i need to have approx 25% extra fuel on hot restart with reduction ramp of approx 30-40 seconds in order for the engine to run right.

Otherwise the engine surges and wants to stall out until the fuel is cycled out of the rail.

Well like i said it cuts the vacuum on hot restart so on hot restart you might have a little bit of an idle/start problem until everything settles.
