No joke lol after I had dinner with her my motor mount broke and pulled my upper radator pipe off lmfao!
ME!!?!?! Ohhhhh no you don't! YOU jinxed ME Mr "I will never break my 1JZ" and then knocked on my car, you JINXED yourself AND me and now I've been cursing every Supra since you!!!!
EVIL MAN. LOL
Well...the car had made it from Ft Worth, TX to a little past Pensacola before it started acting funny again, bogging down on the highway past 3500-4000rpm, especially on hills. I called a friend and asked for help. I didn't want to risk running too lean and blowing a hole through a piston so I got the car to Tallahassee, got a room, and waited for Dennis to come down with his spare parts, jack stands, etc. He drove 5 HOURS from Nor. Georgia to help me. VERY kickass guy.
He arrived at 2:30am and we decided to work on it in the morning after watching some guy in a van back into a new car right in front of us in the parking lot. ni ni! Woke up at 7am and took the gas tank down.
The fuel pump filter was FUCKED all to hell. My gas tank is eating up these filters. Time to get another tank, and make sure it gets cleaned and treated and do this one more time, LOL. The fuel pump replacement was far easier this time, did it in less than an hour.
Now I'm FINALLY on I-75 southbound, chilling out in Alachua with Laura and Doward.
Actually having another issue now... timing. Aaron had it set at 15 BTDC, which I tried turning back to 10* but the engine sounded like it wasn't happy so I left it at 14*using Denni's timing light and it lagged ass on the highway. Stopped, retimed it again by ear this time, and she pulled a little better but could still feel it being bleh. Now I am here and I retimed it to 12-13*, sounded good but Doward said the timing jumped a couple degrees after it came down from being revved... so I dunno. I took the timing cover off and the belt is tight, although the tensioner is RUSTED and pitted all to hell now. Ugh.
Anyways, I should be home in like 5ish hours if I get back on the road soon. I am lagging behind now, trying to avoid rush hour traffic in Tampa.
