Well I am almost finished with my winter updates I just have to check a few more things on the reinstall and them i will fire her up! it really wasn't too bad! i did it all in just a few days working on it a few hours a night! well onto saving for the next level after this!

i must have it covered if nobody can think of anything else!

wouldnt hurt to run a bottle of Injector cleaner...

maybe, seafoam the car too if u want...

Maybe a Higher flow Pump like a Walbro 190(not really a tune up).

[shocar4]

thanks dawgz....yeah i probably will seafoam before i take it out this spring!!! i'm not sure if i have a 190 walbro or not...i hate to go buy one and then find out that i already have one and vise versa i hate to not have one and i know i really need one! still trying to decide what to do about that issue! when i purchased the car it already was sc'ed, lowered on trd's, trd short throw, 18 inch wheels, sri, trd exhaust, so i am not sure if the previous owner installed a fp or not!

dont buy a fuel pump unless you plan to tune, otherwise i wouldnt. All of the stuff on the list looks good though.

so then check, it takes literally 10 mins to go look at the fuel pump assembly.

camryonbronze i definitely plan on tuning this spring after i get the y-pipe on and all my upgrades! dawgz how do i check the fp in ten minutes? i thought that you had to take the rear seats out and all of that to even get to the fp...and then how will i tell if it is a 190? thanks guys!

[CamryOnBronze]

why did you sell your solara and then buy the same thing without mods? Did you own both at once? thatd be sick!

Doing a compression test wouldnt be a bad idea while youre in there...

u can remove the seats, and the top plate cover of the FP assembly and undo the lines in about 10 mins.

if its a 190, it should say walbro on the pump, also, look at the harness of the pump thats packed inside, if it looksl like it has crimpers or the harness has been modified, then it is a aftermarket pump.

long story on why i used to have one that was modded.....and now i have another that i am building back to that point! we had our 2nd child and needed another vehicle that we could fit two kids in...after i sold my lara i missed it like crazy, so when i found another 5 speed i checked it out and got an unbelievable deal, so i took it!

[CamryOnBronze]

^ nice man, im dreading the day the woman makes me give up the coupe... i know itll hit someday though,

[shocar4]

my wife said that i have to keep this one forever....she got so sick and tired of me whining about how much i missed my solara! so this one is here to stay!

[shocar4]

anyone out there have a better deal for getting magnecor plug wires??? the best that i have found is $150 shipped...that has gone up for sure!

[Dawgz]

8.5 wires are goooooood.

I baught mine for 100$, used from Gabe (TRD4Life).

[shocar4]

yeah i had found them for $108 about three months ago and the same site is now $124 plus shipping!
