    Hard to start when cold. Please help

    Oh Sorry, I missed that point... I thought you were saying that the problem was there before the translator reset itself... not before it was even installed... A bit tedious, but a step that I took when I was having some weird issues right after project completion, was to (per TRSM) meter every...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    I understand the theory, but it is not engine temp only, otherwise it would go to close loop like it is suppose to after so many minutes of idling... OP said he let is idle for 35 minutes, that is surely enough time to warm up enough is it not? Like you said - It would appear that it wants it to...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    Before we get wrapped around the axle here, can you do this - verify the Vf readings with a meter at the diag block... lets just make sure this has nothing to do with MaftPro... I doubt it does, as the AFRs should not be affected, assuming you are not using the MaftPro with AFR Tracking? Or are you?

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    HHmm, what I am having a hard time wrapping my head around is this - IF it is time based, when you shutdown and restart, anything time based should start over?? If it was temp based (EGT) then enough time it should function? Have you checked voltage on Ox IIRC on the diag block to see what the...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    So one additional question to make it clear in my thick skull :-), What happens if you leave it idle for 30 minutes? Does it never come off of 0.00 without a shutdown and restart? If that is a yes, then even when you do shutdown and restart, it has to already been idling for 15-20 minutes? So...

    Hard to start when cold. Please help

    Not saying it is your culprit, but logic would say, just because you are no longer tuned and that the problem was there before, does not mean that incorrect tuning was not the culprit when it was tuned... Not sure if that statement made sense or not. But basically a setting like (I have MaftPro...

    No VF signal during operating or Idle.

    Hey GR, not sure where you were headed with that - are you thinking, what I am thinking, could be throwing a O2 heater circuit code? Not sure how long it would really take for the O2 to reach 600 degrees without the heater... To OP, I 2nd GR's question - like you, we are both running MaftPros...

    Toyota love Friday nights in Tacoma

    Anyone know is this a go for this Friday, December 10th? Hopefully not too crappy out... Anyway, I plan to be there, if there is a happening, happening there... a grammar teacher would have a hay day with that statement...

    TEMS re-wire for manual control

    For ease of wiring, I did end up just following the SOGI method and used a Stock Fog-Light switch in place of the coin holder... IT works well, I generally always run in that mode unless I end up on a rough road... then again I know that my stock suspension is probably wore... saving for...

    Got Screwed Over on eBay

    My only two pieces of advice, as I have bought and sold about 400 items on Ebay: Never make a deal outside of Ebay - He could have listed the one that was 100% CF on a new listing for the agreed price, then you have protection from Ebay. Always look at feedback - if it is less than 99%...

    siemons injectors and apexi afc neo

    IMO I think they are a viable option, they are a little less money than some, but my experience is they flow very accurately. As far as power, you see my HP numbers in my sig below, (Like you, I was not looking for big numbers, just wanted to make a DD that was a little more fun than stock) I am...

    Engine won't rev when set at 10 Degrees BTDC.

    Two things - There is a way to actually bench test the Idle control valve, it is in the TRSM, but in a nut shell, you use 3vdc (two standard 1.5 vdc batteries in series) then you sequence the voltage from pins 1-4 to go one way then 4-1 to go the other way... this is the way to fully test that...

    siemons injectors and apexi afc neo

    I am speaking to the 1st one question, not the 2nd. I have Siemens 550's installed, I had them flow tested, they were as follows: Flow rate at 559cc all under 2% variance (static, 3msec and 6msec tests..) Only have 6k miles on them now, but I spent 10 years working for Siemens (different...

    ECU and fuel pump resistor

    Not to argue, as your statement is true, yet IMO depends on your setup as to whether it should or should not be installed, mine runs out of fuel (going lean past 14psi of boost and 4.5k) with resistor and stock fuel pump relay. I am not certain I guess, that they were working 100%, but I do know...

    Engine removal hassle

    OK, yeah I see your point, never tried it, it seemed as though it would be a bigger pain... I will have to try that the next time... as we all know if you put enough miles on your Supra, there is always a next time for about everything ;) Oh and off topic, ForcedTorque - I love your signature...

    Engine removal hassle

    ?? Why not use the access plates that where designed for that purpose, not trying to start an argument, but not sure how the slave cylinder hole is easier. Also just to clarify, the meaning of not removing bolt by bolt as it comes around - there is a pattern per the TRSM, use a sharpie and do...

    My car is lean going into boost

    FYI - Not sure if you actually verified under boost. Fuel pressure at idle is one thing, fuel pressure under boost will be much higher (should be at least 1 psi higher for every 1 psi of boost) I mention this only because my 1st dyno run I started running out of fuel above 14 psi of boost, ended...

    The thread went the direction it did, because the original post did not state anything about having an AEM in the original post, it was a very open ended question... later it was mentioned, but I think was missed... anyway... Oh well, anyway boostcraver, hopefully we accomplished something...

    Car smokes after new exhaust is installed?

    Not sure how much smoke or for how long, but there is often oil residue inside of the SS piping when new, could still be burning off. But like I said I am not sure how much smoke you are talking about or how long it has been driven since these items were put on...

    Yeah you for sure don't need to get on a dyno, it is helpful information to be on a dyno to insure you are not surpassing your engines max torque curve, but I drove my car for 3k miles before getting on a dyno. www.fullthrottletech.com is a location where you gain understanding and knowledge of...
