My car is just adding fuel at idle. Checked and replaced all sensors. Only sensor I deleted was the VSV under the intake.
I am close to giving up and just going to go V2.

Glad to see you kept the car...your bay is pretty much why I cry when I see my dirty old 7M sitting there. I think about pulling it out for block/bay/valve cover painting every time I pop the hood, and it's your fault, lol.
I like the Enkei's...super slick, especially with your color. I'm always partial to split spokes, though; probably getting something similar for my ride. Manaray MJ-9 sounds about right
About the E85: there shouldn't be a problem with using an OEM GM ethanol sensor tied to an input that triggers a map change at a certain voltage. GM part number 12570260 or 12568450 should do the trick...its expensive to buy new, but can be found on just about any GM Flex Fuel vehicle that happens to be at the local junkyard. It's tiny, and usually found where the fuel lines come into the engine bay. It puts out from 0v (pure gas) to 5v (98% ethanol) and can be used to tell your ECU what the ethanol content of your fuel system is, +/- about 3%. Being that ethanol-based fuels only come in two flavors (E85, E98, and half of one if you count the fact that "pure" gas can be up to 10% ethanol), having a VE map for each case would suffice, but only if you were to run almost to empty between switches in ethanol content. Otherwise, you'd have to weight each VE map against the signal from the sensor, and interpolate from there. Doable, and my 2001 Chevy truck does it on the fly...it even advances timing based on ethanol content. But it would take a lot of time on a dyno to get that right with a standalone; think completely tuning the car on three different fuels, and more time testing the interpolation to get that right, too.

Thank you for the kind words, Unfortunately standalone plans have been put on hold for a long time. I cant afford it at this point in time other life priorites are starting to come up. Im happy with the powers level its at now and will probably continue to do little things to the car. I definately need to get a new clutch in the future and Im hoping to get the car tinted soon to get rid of the fish bowl look.
Ah shit, Dustin got some German chick pregnant now he has a baby mama and the Supra is taking a back seat...
:runaway:

ROFL ohhh geeeze you would say that...No got take car of ticket and doing the whole court buisness...
There doing good love the responsiveness of the drive train but car has a wicked vibration at 2500 rpm that is annoying. Friday the car goes in for tint and I will put photos up. My Ac compressor seized up so I need to get a new one somewhere. I ordered some freeze 12 and a new dryer for the AC system when ever I get the new compressor.
You still get R-12? Where?
I hope my A/C works. Previous owner said it did but leaked, so I hope it just has a leak.

No I do not have R-12 the 2j compressor was r134a and I didn't flush my system enough which caused the two oils to mix and that caused the seizing of the compressor. The freeze 12 is a replacement to R-12 and is suppose to work better in systems built for R-12 than what r134a does. I've seen some mixed reviews so I thought I would try it and see how it works. Basically it comes down to that our condensers are not built to handle R134a so they will not perform as well as R-12 will. This is why I want to try the replacement and see how it works.
Im properly converted R134A, Changed the receiver/dryer and flushed the system and put new oil in it. Im getting 44F temps at the center vent on a 110F day. At night at 100F its around 38F. If done properly R134A will work great! I love my A/C
Thanks for the input Devin, The system will be filled with all r134a oil and if I am not happy with the freeze 12 then I can evacuate it and throw in r134a as they are both compatible with the PAG oil.
I changed the two o rings on the compressor lines and I will put some dye in the system to show any leaks.
Dustin, you have an A/C machine?

Nice. I am happy that our shop has one. Just set time to evacuate, amount of gas to charge and leave it alone, well until I have to start the car.
A/C = Air Conditioner
This system utilizes freon, a gas, that will flow through a set of pipes and goes through a condenser for cooling, dryer and an evaporator. A belt driven compressor spins a pulley which turns a clutch that circulates the freon in the system.
The clutch is engaged when the A/C, air conditioner, is turned on from inside the car through the use of the climate control module.
