hahaha, i bought me a hilux surf, while my suby was broken.toyotas are such good, reliable cars haha

a mate got mine going just recently. turned out to be, cambelt was half a tooth out, fucked spark plugs, new o2 sensor and new leads. now its going mint.

kk sweet as. let us know how it goes.

but the check engine light has stopped blinking?

any luck??

i may be wrong, but if its blinking at consistant intervals i think it means everything's fine and theres no codes. have you unplugged the green and black wires under the dash? to see if it stops blinking.

Check to see what code its throwing first. It sounds it's either a big leak past the compressor wheel (unlikely because it would run crap on idle due to it probably getting unmetered air), the waste gate actuator is open slightly all the time or there is a problem with your map sensor. Check all the boost lines to the map sensor and waste gate actuator. Also check that the waste arm? (I'm not sure if this is what it is called) is still attached to the physical part of the gate in the exhaust. I would definitely check that code first though.

why arnt you in auckland! hahaha

but i dont think it could be timing, because it runs sweet for like a minute, then it starts shitting itself.

yup, sounds like its got the exact same problem as yours.

hey man, my car's gone back to how it was :'(. you had any luck with yours?

i dont know if strong for subaru send stuff. but maybe you could give them a ring. but 600 bucks for a new 1 sounds realllllllyy steep.

they have reconditioned 1's on trade me for around 200? what colour AFM does your car run?

yeah i wasnt getting any codes either, but like you, was running out of ideas. so thought i would give it a go, and it worked. weather is looking pretty average in aucks this morning. :-\

got mine sorted today ;D, i cleaned up my MAP sensor, sprayed the hoses and inside the sensor itself and all the connections around that area with CRC. then i put the car into safe mode. (plugging the 2 connectors under the dash) took it for a drive and it had no codes. put some fresh gas in, unplugged the connectors and adjusted the idle control valve slightly. and she runs mint now. yeah so maybe try a new MAP sensor, and taking it for a spin to make sure you have no codes. cheers, Jay
