^ Did you try swapping .z firmwares? I believe .z107 is usually the accepted firmware for toyotas/scions.

What exactly is the problem? Can you even connect to it?

Yoda · 02-02-2011, 06:17 PM

I tried the firmware and failed. Talked to the AEM techs they said its very unlikely that its a hardware issue but I am welcome to send it to them. Only thing i can think of now is the wiring is bad. Something came loose or something. Next possible factor could be that the TPS has gone bad for some reason. Gonna go through the wiring again and make sure all connections are secure. Probably something up with the grounding wires i think.

tsk tsk tsk i found my problem with the fic. Now to the boost leak.

xixarchangelxix · 02-05-2011, 06:10 PM

Bluevitz-rs · 02-05-2011, 07:02 PM

Yoda · 02-05-2011, 07:36 PM

Yoda · 02-05-2011, 11:59 PM

Yea I gonna do that. Hmmm I need more powa. I took a ride in my buds stock evo8 and feel in love with that tq. I want that neck snapping tq. Thats my goal for my car. Don't kno the majic number for it but that's what I am aiming for. After I get it retuned gonna do some light weight mods.

Dont let friends drive your car....
So either my turbo blew or my engine is shot

. Rough idle, misfire above 1k rpm, very strong jerking above 1k rpm. Popped the hood and it sound like a vacuum cleaner. Gonna check the turbo tomorrow for shaft play and pray to GOD my engine is ok. If engine is gone then time for rebuild

cali yaris · 02-06-2011, 11:48 PM

ah oh, sorry to hear that.

Focus_Sh1ft · 02-07-2011, 12:25 AM

Before drawing those conclusions, check all hoses and piping. I had a very similar situation when the charge piping off the compressor housing popped right off while driving. The symptoms were very similar...

Also, the fact that you describe it as sounding like a vacuum cleaner further backs that up. You may be hearing the air being sucked in.

Yoda · 02-07-2011, 11:04 AM

Yea will check that out. There is a knocking sound on cold star up.... Will post up the vid later tonight when I get off work. Think that idiot spun a bearing. Leak down test gonna be done Thursday.

pimp my yaris · 02-08-2011, 05:08 PM

Sorry to hear the bad news. Ya I dont let anyone drive unless I'm in the car. Let us know what happened. Hopefully a hose popped off or a spark plug detonated. I dont think U have enough miles on that turbo to have trashed the bearings already, then again I couldn't believe the bearing play on my turbo. Good Luck

What did your A/F look like? Are you still on stock injectors?
