    fuel pressure/egr vsv question

    So I have a fuel pressure vsv on my car measuring 54 ohms, I have an egr vsv on my car measuring 54 ohms also. Max tsrm spec is 50 ohms. My car is stumbling to its death in neutral after high boost. I have 2 other fuel pressure vsv's reading 0 ohms(no good), and an egr 7mge vsv that reads 35...

    Is this normal? ISCV check valve PICS!

    Thanks Habanero :D it's okay though because I visited a SM member here in LA last night to pick up an afm and he generously donated me an entire Intake Manifold along with it. I'm going to pop off the ISCV and see what another looks like.:)

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    STILL have not sorted these issues.. I cleaned my iscv valve(wasn't very dirty), I cleaned my bov thoroughly and removed a good amt of cooked oil from prev owner inside. I switched to my other TPS and calibrated by voltage and the problem STILL exists! In fact this other TPS made the issue...

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    I tried blowing through my BOV as hard as I can and I couldn't. There was some oil in the vac line that goes to the BOV, seems to be spraying lightly as there is some residue on the outside of the hose too. My cps wire resistance was out of spec and intermittent so I replaced the wires from the...

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    I forgot to mention, my engine also dies at high boost after I push in the clutch, it sort of sputters like it's trying to recover but drops below 500rpm and then dies if I do not either give it some gas or shift gears. I'm thinking this is related to the problem at hand.

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    I thought it could be that also, but the throttle valve closes perfectly with no gap between the lever and stop screw when the car is off. I then checked out the throttle cable and loosened it a bit to be completely sure it wasn't being hung up on anything. I'm going to look at the check valve...

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    Funny you say that because I actually checked those both this morning. IDL - E2 @ .5mm = .14k ohms IDL - E2 @ .9mm = no reading ISC resistance between terminals is 23.4 ohm a bit high but within spec(probably from old age), check valve is squeaky clean. Any ideas?

    Idles high, dp diaphragm not being closed properly

    Alright so this has been going on since as long as I've had the car.. It's finally bugging me enough to get down to business, I knew it would be finicky, I gave it a go, could not come to a solution, now asking for others thoughts. Issue: high idle around 900rpm's - settles down to 700rpm on...

    Failed Smog Please help!

    Ah nice, I do qualify, but I don't trust shops to work on my car anymore. I don't want to have to keep switching exhaust setups every 2yrs just for smog either. My neighbor has a friend that smogs and he offered to pass me. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow and set up a deal. Appreciate all...

    Failed Smog Please help!

    Maybe all I need is a longer drive then.. Yesterday before my smog I installed new NGK Iridium BCPR6EP-N-8 plugs and gapped them accordingly to my application. Unfortunately the only closer to stock exhaust I have left are a tanabe DP with a stock elbow. Side note: Check out my smog report 2...

    Failed Smog Please help!

    Yeah precat is non-existent, I have a BIC ddp recirc to a tanabe catback all 3", possibly besides the actual cat.. I heard the O2 sensor should be replaced every other yr, I was thinking that was the case, it has never been replaced since my ownership 2 yrs ago. Anyways I actually JUST did an...

    Failed Smog Please help!

    First attempt: Catless with 10* timing Second attempt: Cat with 13* timing (changed to 13 in hopes of running less rich and getting a better test) I've been recommended to drive until tank is 1/4th full, put in 2 bottles of heet, and fill with 87 octane fuel instead of 91. Since I am...

    MLS headgasket with head/block decked bigger ex mani studs w/ deeper pitch shimmed oil pump igniter/o2 sensor ground mod beefier clutch I can't start doing the "fun" mods until those are done on any supra, you'd probably have to extend your list to about 15-20 must have mods in order for those...

    First exhaust wrap job

    I think he's asking if it evaporates so quickly because of the extra heat turbocharged engines experience. I would think regardless of what engine, the heat that any exhaust experiences would evaporate water fairly quickly that the wrap takes on. Also I would spray it regardless, it's like if...
