Intake mods

where did you buy the kit or the pistons/rings? i was going to get one off ebay for $350 at a time....i was thinking of fixing the 1zz up and keep it as another spare

So my idle still hasn't gone down, when warm it idles around 1500rpm, and i still have very very rough about to die idle in the morning. I figured i was't getting all the way closed on my throttle body so i tried to adjust it but it's already set as closed as it will go. Iv also tried checking for a vacuum leak with carb cleaner quickly.

Any ideas?

Also I'm still getting a power loss in between 80% and 100% throttle.

Vaccum leak is my guess.

use a cuban cigar

thats what I'm thinking, i actually messed with my throttle cable up in the cruise control box thing. But i completely loosened my throttle cable at idle so i would be sure it wasn't pulling, and then tried to adjust the idle screw to close more but it would't close any further. I reset my battery overnight and when i drove to work this morning it had 0 power and was lunging like crazy. Might be in part from the computer being reset.

Whats a smoke test? Hold something smoking around areas that are prone to vacuum leaks?

ya I'm thinking about going to a shop, specially because i still have a CEL and now this. I'll just feel like less of a man LOL

call in a good friend that knows about cars, taking it to a "mechanic" would be the last thing on earth i would do...

Thats how feel about it. Im going to try that smoke test.

what code do you have?

i wanna hear this new intake manifold already i wonder if it will make the trd exhaust deeper !

I'm going to get a vid after this, it will just be a sound clip though.

Power started picking up and evening out again, i think that was mostly my computer, but it still idles like shit in the morning and high when it warms up.

Use a mango, hahaha..

it ends at like 1:20

Sometimes when i start it runs ok. And then i can turn it off and go into the store for a minute and start it again and it runs like shit.

That sounds like i'm listening to youtube through a seashell. I cant tell what that is at all.

ya i don't have a video camera, or phone that takes video. lol

so i put the thermostat back in and now its overheating again. No flow through the radiator. Iv gone through 3 t-stats. The 2 i have left i have tested in boiling water and they open fine. i don't know whats going on. Pretty frustrating. Thanks for always helping me out guys.

Also did some thinking, ok so if the entire cooling system is bone dry, and then i start filling it from the radiator, wouldn't it just fill the radiator and stop at the thermostat before the entire engine block and pump? How would the thermostat even activate if its not submerged in liquid?

I didn't fill the engine block, I'm amazed at how oblivious I am sometimes. Should be running tomorrow.

We'll see later today it was too late and i did't want to go back out and work on it.

Did you burp the system completely?
I had an air bubble in my car and my gauge kept reading hot.
It still does that sometimes but it goes away after i blast the heater for a few seconds.
