I'm starting to hate my 3sgte swap!! **mods feel free to d, problem solved!! wrong size injector seals? Options

[cjh4l22]

**** Problem Solved ***** JDM head has different size injector seals. (had to use some from a USDM 2jz -go figure-)
Thanks for the help of all those who responded.


The car will run w/my foot on the gas some.

the good:
vacuum lines are tight or capped off (no known leaks)
timing is set perfect, including dizzy
new wires/plugs
will boost and seems to run fine w/foot on the gas and RPM's above 2k (fuel pump is on, fpr and injectors should be working...)
mechanically sound (bottom end & head)
current AFM hasn't been adjusted (adjustment screw is still capped)
throttle body has been pretty thoroughly cleaned (idle set screw is set the same as 3 other throttle bodies I've got sitting around
brand new battery
harness was made by Tweak'd Tunning (previously Phoenix, Josh in particular?)
swapped out turbo's too, newly flushed coolant & oil, all coolant lines are tight.

unknown:
AFM could be causing issues but I've got two of them and switching them out doesn't seem to change anything
IAC may or may not be working, but I've switched it out w/the others
I've switched out ECU's (matching year and such)

There are a couple local shops that know jack about Toyotas or this swap in particular. I know I'd end up taking it there and $2k later they still wouldn't know whats causing the problems or how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially local) as this swap is going on a year and a half. Thanks in advance.

check the sensors on the coolant neck?
do symtoms change as the car warms?

all sensors on the coolant neck are connected and seem to be working fine

did you uninstall the throttle position sensor ?

i have not thought of that... might be my next step for sure.

Check the piping between the afm and the turbo for any loose connections or air leaks.
Check BOV for air leaks.

i'm pretty sure all piping is hooked up properly (followed vac diagram) and held tight w/worm driven clamps.

Idle air control valve?

ya know... i'm starting to get the feeling that it might be. even thought i've switched out (another throttle body).
