The thing is I wasn't getting a CEL, Rob suggested checking it since he said he wasn't fully trusting my O2 so I tested it and saw that the connection between connector 1 & 2 was out of spec.

I picked up the new one this morning and connection 1 & 2 is within spec but I still don't get a reading between 1 & 4, it was metered before I even put it in.

 

wher did you get your info at ecko...just wondering cause id like to read up on it

 

Rob and it looks like it came from the tC Toyota service/repair manual.

Chris, what should STFT be @ idle? Mine are between 10 and 20, LTFT has been a steady 2 @ idle.

 

you sure you dont have the two mixed up?

you want the short term as close to 0 as possible, long term is much harder to get to 0 but it has to be under 30 to avoid any cel's for running rich or lean ect.

 

im trying to find a sure fire way to test an 02 sensor.

 

Same thing I was thinking lol and no I didn't have them switched, that's exactly what they were reading.

 

i wonder when you programed the scangauge you might have labeled it wrong or something...idk but it does sound like its backwards...i still could be wrong though.

 

So after a $650 tune, which was poop, and a few months of e-tuning, which is great but m STFT and LTFT's are ff and that results in temperamental starting so i'm headed to Ptuning in August to get a pro tune. Sure it is 12 hours away but oh well, I know it will be worth it.

In the meantime I currently have a credit card dispute going with the shop I paid the $650 and i'm looking for a short block for an 07+. I need it disassembled with only bare block, crank, main caps, main bolts. I'm looking to have it built by Ptuning after my tune just to have something on the side ready to go.

I'll be headed to Ptuning sometime during the 2nd week in August and shortly thereafter I plan on shipping them the short block for their Spec-SS build and just have it there until I return for them to install it.

I haven't scheduled my appointment with them but I will as soon as I figure out which days the woman has off.

I plan on taking a few things with me as backups.....MAF sensor, O2 sensor (2 of them), exhaust manifold gasket.

During my couple of weeks inbetween there I want to get the Mishimoto Slim Rad Shroud and a couple of things from Chris.

 

yea im bout 2 get the mishimoto rad found a hell of a deal

 

Oh and can anyone recommend a oil filter adapter/plate? I would like to have my oil cooler installed on my next oil change.

 

Hi ecko,

I was e-mailing Mike about my upcoming project with PTuning, and he mentions that the 05-06 block is interchangeable with the 07+ head. Hopefully, that makes your search for one that much easier.

 

Thanks

 

hey ecko peep my thread bro...got new engine....lol...just let me know when you want one...ill either sell you this one or ill find another for ya...just let me know before i get ***** deep into this build.

 

^ You know what that means....headed to PTUNING for a real tune this week.

They will be doing some other things for me too like installing my boost controller, installing my Mishimoto Rad Shroud, installing my drive belt for my lightweight pulleys....that's all I can think of for now.

10 hour drive from Auburn to Manassas pick the GF up in Charlotte and be at PTUNING by Wednesday afternoon.

 

Nice. Me and my boy are planning to head out there Friday. 5 hour drive. Lol. GL on the tune. Wish we couldve met.

 

Haha that's the same place I stayed in the second time I went down there. There is a Cracker Barrel right across the street from it.

 

Check his checkout date, he'll be there Friday lol.

 

i think thats where i stayed too

 

Theres a great restaurant called KC's near Ptuning in Old Town Mana$$hole. Def check it out! Great food and beer! Stay away from the night scene though... unless youre like 40+ years old.

 

I just rolled into Manassas, checked into the hotel, tired as hell after a 10 hr drive but ready to drop the car off in the AM.
