We had a combination of issues.... The fuel injectors were to big, and someone used the more is better method of tuning.
We installed new plugs and did a baseline run with the Camcon off, the ECU was just flooding the car. It was pulling max fuel trim, 40%, and it was still super rich. Turned the Camcon on for the next run and it was worse, they were adding fuel. The car did not want to idle, and was fouling the plugs. We can only assume it was tuned for FI, and never re-tuned after they pulled it. Shame, because they left power on the table. Our tuner made a number of adjustments and actually got the AFR really good, picked up some power too. But in the end the ECU was still trying to pull fuel back due to the injectors. Went to Toyota today and they replaced them with a OE set of Yaris injectors. The ones in the car were out of a 2003 Celica. We recalibrate the Camcon to work with the smaller injectors, makes really good power now.

Heading up to Willow Springs now.
So looking forward to Saturdays practice and qualifying in the rain. I was able to score some "rains" from a buddy, which is just set of used Toyo R1Rs from his ST Civic. Not great, but unlike with the slicks I should be able to stay on the track. Five cars in H Prod, going to be fun. Sat: 8:00am practice 11:30am qualifying Sun: 8:00am warm-up 10:35am race

SportsCar magazine is the official publication of SCCA -- he probably means that one?
Good luck this weekend, you're light, you'll do us proud out there!

What a weekend... I experienced a lot of firsts. There was a bit of a let down, as three of the HP cars did not show. Apparently old British cars don't like the rain, so it was just me and the Honda - which has been the fastest car in HP this season in Socal.
My first time lapping in the rain with no defogger was interesting - well I had a defogger, it was a towel on the end of a stick. Twice a lap, on both straits, while travailing at a high rate of speed I had to pull the stick out of the drivers door and wipe the inside of the windshield so I could see. And the used Toyos were a bit slippery in the rain. Lucky that was just the first practice session. The skies took it easy on us for qualifying, put the slicks on and went for it. Unfortunately, my transponder was not working - it was charged a month ago, and is supposed to last three months - so I got no times and had to start the race at the back of the pack. The Sunday warm-up was full of some scary moments. I got the car on two wheels in the "balcony" turn. It is a banked 180 right hand turn, and there was enough grip to get a little tippy. I also believe I have done the first Yaris stoppie. I was trying to push my braking zone deeper in to turn 3, and hit the brakes a little to hard, an nice jolt forward and to the left. Philip was right behind me in our SSC Nissan and got a great view of it, he also got it on video. Starting at the back you get a great view of all the madness going on. I quickly decided to hold back and wait for the field to thin out, it was an 18 lap race so there was plenty of time. The Honda was faster on corner exit and on the straits, he seemed to be geared way shorter than me, but I could get him going in the turns. I got a good run out of the "balcony" and passed him going in to 8. On the front strait he pulled me and dove right in front of me as we went in to 1. Then it got exciting... I don't know how I did not hit him (actually thought I did till I checked my front bumper in post race impound), turns out he cut a tire and nearly lost it in 1. When he checked up I nearly punted him. He went to the pits for a new tire, but in an 18 lap race it is all over if you have to do that, I ended up lapping him on the track. So Toyota picks up its first SCCA National Club Racing win in HP with the Yaris. Best lap time: 1:41.778 The Honda never got up to speed after the tire change, and only clocked a 1:45.138 (he was in the 1:43s in qualifying). Hopefully we will get the video up in the next few days. The car ran great all weekend. Our only small issue was a check engine light, P0335 (crank angle sensor), but is did not slow us down one bit.

Over a second faster than "the fast guy's" qualifying time. Not too shabby! The Yaris has potential. Now your challenge is going to be to make absolutely certain that there's nothing technically illegal on the car. You can bet they'll be looking if you keep running that well!
