I have the PE 165lph fuel pump, and that's pretty much the only thing upgraded in my fuel system.

Yeah, that'd be great. But it'll probably take me forever to get this thing running. I took it to a friend that worked at Lexus, couldn't figure it out. I let Haley Toyota take a stap at it for an hour. When they tried to get me to pay $200 for diagnostics, I decided they weren't qualified. You guys know a good shop? It's probably something stupid easy to fix.

Hum what codes...let me see if I can remember. I usually always get misfire codes. Sometimes random, sometimes a specific cylinder, sometimes all cylinders. I have gotten a MAF code once. I can't really remember the rest. Oh I've gotten an injector circuit code once I believe.

You know what it sounds like... check your e-manage wiring again.... and then double check it. Sounds like you could have wired it up a little off which would cause generally weird things. Also have you tried changing the plugs? They could have been fouled. Always check small stuff first. Another thing you should check is the charge pipes. Make sure there are NO boost leaks. If you have a boost leak car will run crazy too. How are you keep the ecu from see positive pressure? Check valves?

Hum, I never thought about the E-Manage wiring, but I've actually unplugged the sucker and the car still doesn't run. It should still idle without it. I may try switching the plugs or just cleaning them. They were fouled a bit, but I didn't think it would stop the car from running. I'll check over the charge pipes...I did have a rust spot where the powercoating came off, but I didn't see a leak. I tried checking over the vacuum hoses too, but it's hard to get to some of them. And I don't quite understand the last question.

Did you install the kit? Tell you what, it be a lot easier if i could see the car in person and see what it does. Hard to trouble shoot blindly. What side of town do you live on? If you have time me and Terry could stop by friday or sat. and take a look at it.

Nevermind about the last question... brain fart, I forgot u had a maf.

Nah, a place called Monkey Wrench Racing installed it. I live in Midlothian, so if you want to spin by, that would be super cool. Just IM me.
