I didn't... I thought of that after I bought the 6-rib belt and cut it up. I think it's part #4080660.

I used the 8-rib because that's all they had and I thought that Doc had used the 8-rib. Ahh, the blind leading the clueless.

Nope... I came up with the genius idea, but a little too late!

I found the problem! It was a rubber injector vibration insulator that had popped out and fell on the floor when we removed the fuel rail. My brother had found it on the floor when we pushed the car back but he did not know what it was.
This rubber insulator pushes against the injector and keeps it seated in the fuel rail. With the insulator out, injector #2 had nothing holding it in tightly against the fuel rail I followed the shop manual and removed the valve cover to totally remove the fuel rail and work the injectors. Cool pictures to follow tonight. I'm going to put everything back together but need to wait for my brother to get here before I fire her up again.

Last time, we saw that fuel injector #2 had popped out of the fuel rail and gas was squirting onto the engine. Today, I undid some tie straps and proceeded to loosen the two bolts that hold the fuel rail to the head.
This allows the fuel rail to pivot up a little and I can pull injectors #1 and #2 completely out of the rail. The other two injectors are too hard to pull out right now because of the angle of the rail. There is no good reason why the injector should have popped out of the fuel rail so I looked into the holes where the injectors plug into the head. I noticed that cylinder #1 has a black rubber something in the hole and cylinder #2 has shiny metal. Apparently when we pulled the fuel rail the very first time, one of the rubber fuel injector vibration insulators had popped loose and had gotten lost. This is terrible because I'd have to go to Toyota to get a replacement and there's a 100% probability that they would have to order it. Then, I look on our work bench and I see a black rubber thingy that looks alot like what should have been in the fuel injection port. Luckily for me, when it fell out days ago, it fell onto the floor underneath the car. When my brother pushed the car near the garage door, he found the thing and put it on the bench, not knowing what the heck it was! In order to get the other injectors out, I decided to follow the instructions in the shop manual. This is the Yaris shop manual that Violin had posted in 2006 to the DYI forum. That set of manuals is priceless and I suggest that everybody download the pdf files to your computers. The manual says that in order to work on the fuel injectors, you have to remove the valve cover so the ignition coils come off, the valve cover comes off and I'm staring at the two cams, the timing chain and other cool engine components. This only took 20 minutes. Now, it's really easy to lift the fuel rail up and I can get to the other two fuel injectors. I put o-ring lube on each injector o-ring and the injectors go back into the fuel rail. The fuel rail slips back into its original position and I make sure the inectors are pushed into the rubber insulators in the head. I install everything in the reverse order that they were disassembled and the engine is back in one piece again. My brother comes to the shop and we go through the startup procedure again but this time the car is idling very smoothly. No CEL. I need to get a wideband A/F gauge badly because it smells like its running rich but it could be because it's still cold. Lastly, we take it out on the street in this industrial park and test it and I can definitely feel it when the blower kicks in. There's an urgency to get somewhere that I have not felt in this car before. We'll drive it carefully over this Thanksgiving weekend and I'll keep checking for loose nuts and bolts and I'll check the belt. Other than that, this project is essentially over. I'll post some driving impressions after I get some more time on it. Th th th th that's all folks!

Well done. Just need to get it on a dyno when you have it 100% finished.

Thanks to you and your finessing the A/C line! I need to know if you have a jpg or gif of the MicroImage logo. Would you mind if I have it etched on the engine cover? Quote:

I am still using the TRD intake but will switch to the AEM intake when Garm and I can hook up. I also will order some gauges from him... wideband A/F, vacuum/boost, ???.

^ Wanted this thread readily accessible when I need it ))
Four years old but still awesome .. also in my case makes a difference between attempting an install and not even trying to do so due to poor mechanical skills. Btw, do you by chance happen to remember any better thread on Blitz installation? |

I'll do some searches. Not better, Long's was really good -- but just by other members doing installs.
