:tiphat:
Yeah, planning to deliver before months end...just coordinating errthing :ugh2:
Pickup in the background isn’t going anywhere yet; as I have to pull engine in it as well :wtf2:
Gonna drive dad’s 10yr old Taco w/40k on the clock :eek: As it needs to have it’s legs stretched, as I perform all the maintenance on it as well.
As far as spending on hardware; I’ll pass on commenting :owned:
Lotta work left to do, as I’m gonna repair pickup before Z comes back in garage...then it’s getting major surgery :eek::eek::eek:
Rear subframe removal, fuel tank removal, complete suspension removal, etc............:ugh2::icon14::icon08:
I’m sure you’ll be up & running before me, as I’ll be in turtle mode by then :iagree:

ftfy :iagree:

Good Monday Morning Guys. Hope you all had a great weekend. 84* for a high today with 0% chance of rain. :bowdown: Just a few things on the to do list today so going the get this Monday started. Hope you all have a Great Monday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup:

:hello: Morning Folks, got me a total of 8hrs beauty sleep last night :tiphat:
You should see me now :icon17:

Definitely going to tidy up & find a place for the things that stay before next project....not taking anything else inside, as all that is eventually coming out here :icon14:

Banjos have begun :ugh2:
Headed for the countertop cammer & treat the puss’s, after I squeeze trigger :nutswinger:

Have you replaced that O2 sensor?

It just seems like these weekends fly by faster and faster.

Have a great day all. Remember not to stop moving blades or gears with your hands or genitals, always use somebody else's.

Happy Monday everyone :hello:

I’ll let you borrow one of mine :ugh2:
Just to see if that’s the problem, as I just removed 4 :iagree:
Front AFR sensors are tapered head & rear one’s are flat :tup:

You’re just getting old :wtf2:

:rofl2: I maintain fire plans for several military hospitals which is one of the Joint Commission requirements for them to keep their accreditation. I can't help stupid people that live in the middle of wildfire country.

Thank you kindly :tiphat:
It's nice to see her running around and barking again since the medication is working well :tup:

I used a lot of those CDs to create one-time-use accounts ;)

I've spent 2 hours on a 10 mile stretch of I-10 before. No construction and no accidents. It made no sense :shakes head:

This guy knows! :eekdance:

Eugene is a nice enough guy. But yeah lack of experience is a bit concerning. A tune is not exactly the place I want to cut corners on. Although I know that Ecutek knock sensor is a weird one for some people. You gotta do a little work to be sure it's just overly sensitive sensor and not actual knock.

Well, what ya gonna do if you have detonation and your knock sensor doesn't pick it up? With E85, that can happen. Blow a headgasket, break a ring land, and the engine shows signs of detonation but you don't see in your logs. Mostly happens to folks on pump E85.
My engine builder told me to be on barrel E85 if running the higher boost settings. Ignite Red or Ethanol One R.

Congrats on the purchase :tup:


When you moving full time to the frozen tundra?

Well, I'm hoping to be up and running by Spring 2021... Motor is already in the works, Mazworx that is :) , but that's not going to be the hold up it seems. The FI TT stage 2 kit is the biggest wait (figure another 4 months)but my order is already placed. With that said, I know to expect the unexpected but as of right now things are ahead of schedule.

I'm envious of you Joby as there's nothing more satisfying than doing the work yourself and reaping the rewards. There's a lot to be said about taking your time and doing it right your own way especially someone who's got the skill set/mind set that can easily accomplish this. Also having the full complement of tools helps too! :tup:

I realize it can be an issue with pump E85 due to the randomness of the ethanol content. But there have been a couple of NA guys who had similar issues and weren't running E85. I think they both ended up lowering the sensitivity on the knock sensor on the advice of their tuner. Trying to remember who they were and which tuners. But I can't find it right now.

Elmo370z had the same problem. Seb was tuning it. Put on the SOHO oil catch can setup and that solved it. Knock was gone. I would never reduce the sensitivity of the knock sensor. That is not an option. You got to know the hardware to understand what the software is telling you.

From my understanding there is a difference between how sensitive the OEM ECU reads the knock sensor and how sensitive Ecutek reads the knock sensor. Sometimes the Ecutek software detects knock even when the OEM ECU does not. This discrepancy is the problem a few folks are encountering IINM. So it's really just a software programming thing and not the actual sensor sensitivity - I realize I did not post that clearly at all. Also, please note that I'm no expert but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express before :twocents:

Can confirm. I've had the CEL on a few times for knock after EcuTek tuning, and set up my bluetooth interface to verify. Turns out, the knock sensor reads my flywheel engagement when I shift as knock, particularly when I'm forced to do frequent gear changes in stop and go traffic on I95. A little reading showed other people have had this issue in the past.

Never heard of that before. New one to me.

If he’s getting that bank 1 lean code then it’s the fuel trim sensor in the manifold collector. Only two of those four you pulled out would work. Thankfully you can get to that bank 1 from the top with the appropriate number of extensions on your ratchet.

Been there myself!:eek:

Hi guys

Hi

:hello::hello::hello:

I can sure tell it's Monday, I've already had to deal with my wacky sister.....:eekdance:

Not the way I wanted to start my birthday week......:shakes head::shakes head:

Happy Lunch Time everyone :hello:

It's not lunch time yet. Still working.. Ugg...

Maybe not for you :ugh:

Steak and potatoes for lunch :yum:

Got to drive my Z today. First time in 45 days.

I had detailed it really well and put it on the trickle charger and under cover prior to me going into the hospital. I even explained to my wife how to sell it in case the worst happened.

But alas, here I am. And it feels good...

Sort of like a sore dik, you just can’t beat it... :tup:

Great to hear, Spoiler! :rock: :driving:

What did she say when you explained to her how you want to be buried in the Z in the driver seat? :icon17:

Nope, she knows I want to be cremated and sprinkled down at Lowe’s in the plywood aisle...

Hmm, are you sure you don't want them slipped into the HVAC system in a corporate office?

That’s awesome brother, enjoy, you earned it :tup: :driving:

Had to change out the battery on the 4Runner today and took a few minutes to do a little clean up :rolleyes:

Big improvement! Did you use something like Gunk Engine Cleaner on it?

Gonna left work in a few; got the Kitty-Cat pulled out of the truck today :ugh2:

Sat down in the office and opened emails...Its Monday for sure. :mad:
