    Yo.

    Nah, still got running issues with it over-fuelling. It's an electrical issue of some sort, related to the wiring loom I suspect as I had to give it a certain amount of contortion when I fitted the supercharger. I've had zero time or interest this year tbh, but am beginning to get my motivation back again. First job will be to tidy up the garage, then I'm going to remove the loom on top of the engine, de-tape it and check all the wires and connections. If I can't see anything wrong then I will admit defeat and send the car to Patrick, else it'll be another year lost... not that I would have had any time to drive it!!!

    I'll go delete some PM's!

    Guess what. I think I've fixed my long running saga with over fuelling and not going into closed loop. Found a good guide to check afr sensors on toyotas, followed it all and found a very strange, minor shorting issue where on the multimeter it'd sound the continuity buzzer for a split second. Rewired it via an alternative method and as of this weekend, the over fuelling on one of the banks has disappeared and its staying in closed loop. Need to get it mot'ed now so I can try it on the road. Fingers crossed....

    I will, once I can get it out of the garage! Have to clear the drive now, it's been that long since it was last out, lol.
