from my understanding of the FD's MOP, even with no electrical connection, it will still run at about 50%. to properly see if that is the problem i would use a block off plate inplace of the MOP. otherwise you may once again rule it out as the source of the problem.

another option to premixing would be to use an FC mechanical MOP....

Sad but true story for me(to share to you) I had a 10mm bolt lodged in the turbo oil return line. It made oil build up and eventually made the car smoke out the back like a wildfire(ever seen the spyhunter smoke screen? That ain't ****!)...At least you didn't blow 6 engine's in one year like one of the 3rd Gen moderators we all know...

Just how the HELL did you manage to get a bolt in there?? haha



I'll pull the line and double check.. Just in case, but I did check it before I installed it..



Our smoke sounds similar.. lol

K. You can bitch all you want (LOL JM) but that was a sweet quote! And what's this about a Supra? Do you know what $13k in a Supra could get you ?



If I lived near ya, I'd come over and pretend I could give advice and just point at your motor and nod....no really I would.
