congratulations!! we are on the same level lol... its almost as if you are describing my car.. two people with the same idling problems =( so Im assuming its not the sensor which is broken on my engine after all.. if you're having the same problems.. you checked for vacuum leaks correct? If so anyone care to help us out?

once my car is done, I wouldn't mind giving you a hand, but in the mean time, help yourself, do some trouble shooting, post videos, actual symptoms, I mean, show interest on fixing your own car, as said, once my car is done I really wouldn't mind driving there and lending you a hand, but by the looks of your last posts is like you gave up on it and are waiting on a magic hero to show up and fix it for you.

noone knows your car better than you, so start trying, and post findings, some people may not have the time to physically go there and help you but they would take time to guide you over the net. follow instructions and post results back. as anyone trying a swap, we all need a network of people who to ask vital questions and guidance, get in contact with your network, and start eliminating things, there are only so many things that can cause an specific symptom, you start testing one at a time and you know where the problem is not located, and at some point you'll find your issue.

you're absolutely right stevenson.

UPDATE:

the car will be on the road starting in May. (that's when my insurance renews)

my AEM UEGO is reading "---" at idle but if i rev it the slightest bit it'll move between 12ish-13.5.
(my current idle at operating temp is 800, it's possible i have a vac leak since it shakes a tiny bit)

no check engine lights, originally had a code 54 for the coolant temp which i took care of (burped the system, filled to max)

my fuel issue is unresolved, i can bridge fp to b+ and it runs fine. i'll most likely wire it like lago's did rather than trying to use the stock set up.

AEM UEGO hooked up and in place (again) - was reading (---) due to the wideband bung being so low on the downpipe and not having an exhaust.
AEM boost gauge hooked up and in place
Greddy Profec B hooked up

in need of exhaust, and to sell my Z3 so that i have a spot on my insurance to put the celica on.

other than that, everything is great.

Wow, props to you for focusing more on a Celica than a Z3. Nice.

^ i will be getting the exhaust done this upcoming week, so pictures no doubt.

UPDATE: Yesterday I said goodbye to my Z3 and immediately after I was at the DMV getting the tags switched over to the Celica. It's official, she's ready to drive...sorta (waiting on a fender to come in to finish my front end.)

exhaust on, sounds amazing-will post pics in the morning.

when i was on the GSP, my boost reading was all over the place. also my vac. at idle reads 12-14 (should be 20 +/- 2) vaccum leak possibly?

it idle's normal i believe. on start up it's at 1100 and then drops to 800. i think i tapped into a line that doesn't give the best or most accurate reading. i should of just went with the spot behind the intake manifold to begin with. once the weather clears up i'll fix it.

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...777&hl=pump

still not staying alive for longer than 20 seconds. could it be my fuel pump relay? like i mentioned before, when i bridge FP to B+ it runs just fine. suggestions please.

I would guess you wired in the relay backwards.
Instead of it switching over to a lower voltage it just shuts off.

UPDATE: about 4,500 miles driven on the beast and it is running great other than having a small oil leak (drivers side: seems like it starts at the head area and drips down off the side of the trans.)

It very well could be my valve cover gasket not sitting flush from when i retorqued the head or my dizzy. From what i read it could also be coming off the rear main seal but i highly doubt it. With the weather being the way it is, it's been tough to work on it but i hope in the next few months to have some progress.

Many items are waiting to be installed but here is a small teaser of my TRD Side Skirts:

oh and of course for those that know my car, it still needs the front bumper mounted.

Also for those that aren't aware, i purchased another project that many people should recognize:
