Please, if anyone has one that they would load me for the weekend, reply/E-Mail me I live in the Denton area, if I have to drive too far it won't be worth my while as my car is wasting soooooooo much gas right now. I am getting a AFPR tomorrow, and would like to get it on tomorrow, and all adjusted! (Dyno Day here I come )

Corry-

I have one you could use for the weekend, but I'll need it back by friday just in case I need to adjust mine (hoping to get it running well next week ) Its just one that has the long hose you screw onto the Shrader? Valve, but it works for when you need it.

I live in Frisco, come early tomorrow b/c some of us are going to the swap meet in Arlington around 10 30.

Map 7540 Tournament Rd Frisco 75035 on maps.yahoo.com . I am 26.4 miles from Denton it says.

Call me Cell 817.578.0688 Home 972.731.7679 after 8:45 or so if youre coming. I'll be here till 10:30. You're welcome to come with us to Arlington, we'll only be there for a couple of hours. I just want to get some cheap sunglasses since the high $ ones always break on me :P.

hehe, turns out the FPR was only 1/2 the prob, a clogged cat (dieing) was the other 1/2, after it blew out *****s of the cat, it runs pretty darn nice! I bought the Fuel pressure gauge (oh well, less funds for fun stuff) and I'll be putting on the AFPR today as it turns out (sunday ) Now that my car has this added power, I can't wait for dyno day and to finially see what this thing does in the 1/4 mi.
See everyone there!

OH REALLY??? Tell me this, did your car sometimes not idle? Like youd turn the key it would start, but immediately die? Sometimes would it not really start at all? If so, heh, I think i might be gutting my cat this week

With my personal experience here, I think I'd get a high flow cat next time. Cat gutting is a MAJOR PITA. Get some serious jackstands, crowbar and a sledge, cause that ceramic material is like beating concrete!!...not that I would know or anything...

Yup, but even w/ the cat gutted, and the FPR changed, it still had problems. Since I do not trust my scan tool, I adjusted minimum air by the digital tach in my car (not too accurate!) and now the thing almost starts right up! It is still dropping fuel pressure though, injectors have been serviced, FPR changed, I really don't want to have to do anything to the in tank valve... I do have to replace the fuel filter. I may need help on that seeing as out here I have no jacks/jack stands, and even if I did, the apartment administrators would not like the jack stands sinking into their soft pavement, and nor would I feel safe!
Oh well It works now. Note: I did not gut the cat, the car gutted the cat!
