Hey boys,

So I posted a few days ago about having trouble getting my 7m started, ended up getting it to run. However at idle, the car sounds rather weak. And when i open the throttle, it doesn't rev.. It actually does the opposite and bogs. Im no expert but im suspecting tps? Also I'll throw in that i have a bit of a temporary fix on my csi at the moment as I lost one of the 8mm copper crush washers and im trying to locate another. Not sure if a slight leak through the csi port could cause any problems while im just getting the car fired. If anyone in the vancouver area knows where I could pick one up I'd appreciate the advice. Ive tried mopac and lordco to no avail.

Set timing to 10* btdc, double checked cps is set correctly, rebuilt bottom end with new bearings, rings, existing pistons were checked, cylinders were honed, valves were grinded. If any of that can help.

Also, I tried to look around for a post similar to my problem but didn't find anything. If there is an existing post, I would appreciate if someone could link me.

Have you tried toyota for parts? That gasket is prolly 2$.

Sounds like bad or unplugged afm.
