Nah It's my second car, don't use it every day. It's sitting in my shed waiting for me to get off my ass any buy some more 2 1/4 inch steel exhaust bends so I can start making up the new exhaust. Also I was waiting for "elliotaw" to make up some parts for me, but I picked them up yesterday so...

Don't ask me Im no mechanic, I just thought I'd let you know. I still don't get how the exhaust can have this effect? Maybe my catalytic converter's on it's way out. I can still see through my cat, but only just! Thing is I'll had other car's where the cat's have compleatley blocked up, apart...

Hey get this.... I removed the exhaust (including the cat)to replace it and decided to start it up to see how loud it was. Yeah it was frikin loud but more to the point It started fine. I waited untill the next day and did it agian to be sure, but it was still fine. I don't see how the exhaust...

I don't mean to pick or anything but you need to check that UZFE FAMILY COMPATIBILITY pdf file you made. eg: follow the cam line from 1UZ to the 3UZ and it's says N (for not compatible) but go down to the bottom of the chart to 3UZ and check the cam line for 1UZ and it says TBD. You'll find...

I put my hand up for some shims, If ya offering. Just one set for me.

Thank's for the info jibbby, I know what you mean, I was just stating what I had and hadn't done. I also don't have an idling or stalling problem. Mine has never stalled. I just have the hard start when cold problem. As far as you can see inside of my plenem with the butterfly off is...

Im using the original air duct and filter (new as of 2 mounths ago) And last time I took off the TB I gave it a good clean with a rag and WD40. (All-tho I haven't used any carby cleaner on it while it's running.)

Ok ok ok.... So asuming it's the TPS (as you sugest), Is there a way of testing it? Or can I just swap it with the traction control one?

Yeah sound's like we have compleatley different problems bass, After I start my car (with 4-5 seconds of rough idling) it goes up to 1500rpm untill it warms up and then go's back down to 600rpm. If you then shut it off and re-start the engine it idles at 600rpm straght away. no prob's

My fuel pump starts up when my key is turned to ACC, (conversion) so I can run the pump as long as I like before starting the car. It makes no difference how long the pump runs for. What I think is happening is the fuel pressure in the rail after the engine is turned off, is leaking into the...

I have the same problem as you "Bass" On cold starts it run's really poor and has thouble idling for like 10 seconds. I found that starting the car with my foot on the throttle "as in foot to the floor" helps heaps. And by doing this it starts almost normal I figured that fuel was leaking...

I have read the entire thread and still stand by my theroy. EGR only lowers combustion temp by adding a non-combustible exhaust gas back into the engine. Hence it makes less power. And not to mention all the crud left in the engine that requires you to pull the engine down to clean. And don't...

How do you figer this? Exhaust gas is dam hot how can it cool down the air intake? and In my opinion The only thing going into the air intake should be AIR. (or nos). Burnt exhaust gas will not help fuel a car, so your car should make less power with EGR.

LMAO

Thanks m8, I'll work it out in due time. The post so far have helped more than enuf. The car is not a dayley driver so I will pull off what I need and get parts made up etc. Info I was really after was stuff like How much is too much in shim thickness for the regulator and accumulators. I...

Looks like i'll be pulling mine apart and working it out myself, I'll let you know how I go. If anyone's got any info at all, I'd be grateful

I think the above post is in the wrong Thread/Place. The video is of Half a car sitting on the floor of someones shop/shed. They started it up as a test before it's used in a conversion The exhaust is still in tact but cut off just after the gearbox witch means theres no mufflers.

Can anyone help me out with some 6-8mm shims for the 1-2 & 2-3 accumulators, and maybe even a new (bigger) spring for the regulator. Love to try this mod myself. I don't have access to any machines, and if you guy's have them sitting around or could even make them up, It would make it alot...

Come agian?? I thought the EGR system would cause this problem, hence the reason he Deleted it! Mine has no EGR from factory (asuming your talking about the "recycle the exhaust gas back into the intake of the engine system")

Nice link Jib, While I was having a quick read of this link I see they just up'ed the line pressure by ajusting the regulator with a screw driver in the valve body. Can this be done with the early V8 auto's? (Yes, I did notice that this was the auto for the 6, and not the V8:cool: What were...
