few minor issues right off the bat... rough-ish idle, the timing is good but i think the cams are off a notch. luckily i have adjustable cam gears...
 and the big ACE banjo bolt on the block for the turbo oil return line is leaking (likely because i didn't torque it down tight enough) more to follow soon-ish. help/advice is welcomed. -------------------- proud =3sgte SWAPPED= '95 Celica ST owner [calling it the GT2 or half-trac]

ok so latest issues... car will start but won't idle. NEEDDD HELPPP!! the meet is next weekend and i'd like to drive it there.
i can hear the fuel pump running so i'm pretty sure thats ok. i set the distributor to the middle of the two extremes and the timing should be set just perfect... it'll start and rev up for only a second or so and then dies.. I'm open to any ideas. I'll check for CEL codes here shortly and see if that turns anything up. thanks. in advance. -------------------- proud =3sgte SWAPPED= '95 Celica ST owner [calling it the GT2 or half-trac]

are you able to keep it running by giving it a little gas?

I am not. the Idle up vacuum hose that typically runs from the intake isn't connected but idt that would cause anything. If anyone has an advice on how to check the TPS or Idle Up please let me know. The starter and battery are fine and I can hear the fuel pump kick on as i turn it key to start. anymore ideas? help would be greatly appreciated as the meet is coming up on Saturday..

new problem. now i'm not hearing the fuel pump kick on and when i tried to start it today there's no firing. still no CEL. jumpered fp and b+ later and the fuel pump came on but engine wouldn't fire. i'm starting to think its the ecu or an injector problem....
SO..... a year+ later and a whole lot of extra parts purchased for testing for a solution (process of elimination style). The car was taking to a performance shop, who weren't too keen on saving me money, but found the issue non-the-less. FUEL INJECTOR SEALS! were the wrong size? too small. they were a small rubber-band in size and mine needed thicker ones that ended up coming from a 2jz (first thought- Hey cool, Supra parts [nerd]) Took delivery from AAA on Sept. 29th (more info and picture to follow).

Car is home after a lottt of work and it runs!!! ---for any of you following along... the vacuum leak issue was due to the wrong size injector seals (JDM head? used USDM 2jz injector seals) This has been the LONGEST project... Started after I threw a rod March 17th 2009 (St. Patty's Day) but after 925days 21hours and 54minutes... The car is home and runs! It still needs some small odds and ends (power steering pump, rear pass. hub, disc conversion & 3" custom exhaust) and will continue to be a project car & someday soon a daily driver too, but I can't begin to describe my excitement...  A special thank you to anyone and everyone that has helped me with this, through advice, or parts, etc. I truly appreciate it!
