hey huys, my soarer tt is acting up again, seems like that is all it does these days,i find that it wont go pass 6 psi boost and sounds like its starving of fuel, i did the diagnostic and got a 21 which is a o2 sensor but from my experience faulty oxygen sensor cause u to run rich and that is about it,is it different with soarers? i only have a emanage fitted on it and it was properly tuned about a year ago and ran fine,i resetted the ecu and unplug the sensor and it didnt make any difference, this one is about ti kill me i dont know where els to look,i will change the sensor but its unavailable where i am and have to travel quite a distance to get one like that at toyota jamaica

I had a similar problem with a mates soarer, it turned out to be the fuel pump, not the fuel pump ECU, it would be perfect sometimes then other times it made min boost and no power

i thaught of that too, i inspected the coil packs and plugs and found 1 of my #6 iridium lazer crack on the shaft but they look good other than that one, replace and it drove fine but i will watch it cause it did this before at 14 psi so i turned it down to stoc 10psi so i will see, i do have a walbouro fuel pump but its a inline pump so fitting this would see the original one becoming a restriction,and i do not want to use it if i am not sure i need to,i tried running the fp on +12v diag port but didnt make no difference.

last night i finally got a chance to run my car with a data logger\wide band oxygen sensor my friend has that he uses to tune with, and the car was running rich all the way, it idled at around 14.5-1 and went dow to about 13.5 ish on low throttle, under bost it went down to about 11-12, he said its a bit ritch but not enough to cause that problem, so my guess is now to change the coils,, does anyone know of an easy way to find out which one would be the bad one since it dosent do this stuttering untill u under boost? oooh and i did change the o2 sensor so i do not have any error code on the efi
