Re: Idle problem

Re: suspension uprade ?

I ran apex springs on my rev1 on track and found them fairly soft, probably quite well suited to road use

Re: Distributor Cap & Rotor Arm

You simply have to decide whether you want to fit genuine Toyota parts, or cheap Chinese. Each to their own and all that... Genuine Toyota it is then. Peter you mentioned the other day that Denso O2 sensors are available for around £40, are you able to supply these or would you know the Denso part ...

Re: Lambda/Oxygen Sensor volt test

With bridge you should see 0v-5v switching on vf1 at 2500rpm. At idle 0v indicates fault code is stored I think

With no bridge you should see 2.5v if your ecu is not trimming fuel. Ive got a handy link on laptop il send you when I'm home
