Turbo Toyotas: Jacksonville Style!
#483
Yeah, I have to say the 2 scion dealerships I've dealt with here have been top notch!
Matt used to work at desert, and they let me put my car up on the lift to fix my busted v'band on my exhasst, no charge.
When I thought I blew my new koni's, Findlay Scion put it on the lift and showed my the play in the shock. I noticed the bolt from teh bottem had fallen off, and they didn't charge me for anything, I went home and fixed it.

well a new problem has arisen. i drove my car to school and work today. everything was fine. well.. got back into the car after work, turned the key to the ON position, and BOOM !!! the residual fuel bang occurred again (is there a way to stop it?? it looks/sounds terrible). i went to start the car, and it started up fine, but alas, it could not idle. this was the same thing that happened to us at the shop when we tried running the car on the stock ECU. i had to give it gas to keep it running; even when i was giving it gas, it would sound like there would be little bits of time where fuel would be cutoff. i dunno what happened... i didn't do anything between the time i started work and got off work. i rechecked my ECU harnesses and they're all in securely along with the emanage wiring. it's not the fuse this time because the car actually started. i'm wondering if the car's running too rich all the time and maybe my spark plugs got re-caked while i was at work? either that or perhaps my MAF ziptie thing is just not working anymore.. the ECU wouldn't be able to "learn" the emanage and stop preventing idle that quickly, would it? *sigh* my car is once again undriveable.

for that "bang" noise. pop the hood, on the valve cover look to the back of it on the passenger side. there is a hose coming into the valve cover and it runs from there to the intake manifold, make sure that hose is attached and tight. thats where your noise is coming from. as far as the idle issue, i think you need to adjust your fuel map. you have the aem fic? or the greddy blue? if so i can send you my map.. its the shizzzzz!

try unplugging the maf sensor alltogether (leave it in the intake put unplug the wires from it)
Also, it sounds like it's the same issue of dumping to much fuel. One other thing to try it to disconnect your negative terminal on the battery to clear the codes and have the ecu relearn everyting.
good luck.
OH, and one more thing...check all the couplers for your pipeing and make sure none of them popped off. Especially the ones on either side of the IC and the ones on both ends of the turbo.

yeah you gotta be to rich at idle man, hey so how much fuel is being pulled at idle? pretty much for start up and a good idle you can use the formula (stock injector cc/new injector cc)-1 and that should give you the percentage to pull.... and you can tweak from there to get around 14.68AFR
