Well it was "we"until this turned into a diagnostic problem...I supplied the $$$ and hardware.Non-emissions JDM Engine&trans,Clutchmaster's clutch,HKS boost controller, new intercooler and radiator,NGKiridium plugs,RC 550cc injectors,Lexus afm, silicone hoses, tubes, K&N intake,ARP head bolts etc.Now that I "observed" the heavy work and contributed to all the basics, it's "they", because this is their full time line of work....

What I know is that they have stand alone diagnostic monitored test equipment for confirming injector and spark firing orders etc.,along with the newer stuff. They think it's too much fuel or it isn't fully igniting, but why 2,4,6 is the mystery, and I guess there isn't simply a code to confirm.

look...we know you really like the "beat your dick against the wall method" but please less talking and more listening! check codes!

I think you're misunderstanding... they're not even running it off the TCCS at the moment. Until they do that all that can happen is a little dick on wall action.

I already noted that they said that there ARE NO codes. If this was that easy, I wouldn't be reaching out for some less obvious causes....I'll mention the TCCS suggestion though. Thanks.

Well, to be honest, you didn't really inspire a whole lot of confidence in your knowledge when you said "Not even a check engine light" when 1st asked. So if you hadn't made such a rookie statement maybe people would start with less rookie problems - not to mention the fact that you're not actually doing any of the work; which makes it much harder to diagnose since you yourself probably don't even have all the details of what the shop has found.

A good start would be to plug it back into the stock ECU instead of this stand-alone diag machine it's on now.

If the car isn't running on the tccs then start running it on the tccs....

It's running on some stand alone system? Seriously sounds like they're doing all the wrong things. The stock ECU will tell you what is wrong and won't risk fucking up your motor...

By the looks of it it's running on some snap-on efi simulator....guess it pumps it's own fuel and spark etc...
