yeah im going to paint it black or maybe blue. which one do you think would look better? lol i just took it out for a ride but funny thing is i put one of my vice grips on the hose thats sucking in to much air and drove it and it idled good and drove awsome. i might have to clamp that hose a bit just for temporary fix just till we figure out why it idles funny. i did check to see if it had the whats it called in the idle air control like we talked about and it did. i wonder if the air control you gave me also went out. hmm that would suck.

did you reset your ecu. Sometimes that helps. I think black but primer first. If all else fails get a valve and put it inline with the hose for idle control

just disconnect you battery for a while and pull the plug on the IACV. Hook up the battery after about 10min. start your car and then out the IACV connector back on. I've done that before and somehow it worked for me.

Oh yeah i got my phone turned on 9362310253

woot finally got the tags. all i need now is the inspection, a/c recharged, a new idle air control, fix the power steering leak, fix the weak ass brakes, fix the wiring cause the bypass i did is killing my battery, and finally get a new switch for my fogs. also got to change all the fluids.

after all that i will get the camber kit, couplers for my upper radiator hard pipe, new tires, new tint, and last new paint. still got to paint the catch can that NTRA08 made for me and also paint the top of the radiator due to the paint is chipping off.

i ordered a prosport boost and air to fuel gauges and still waiting for them.

Man brandons car has come a longgg way! [assuming thats his old white one]

Why dont you do a 2jz-geT? Its pretty cheap to do, and uses the same 7m harness.

Well you assumed right this is brandons old supra. and that also is another choice I have to deciede on. I first need to budget myself and see what my limit is then I will deciede.
