hey I was going to say the choice of computer was the issue too :thumbsup:

a common problem when hot is the ignitor on the back of the motor for the coils, are you still running it? If so change it for a known working one and see how you go.

Is the microguess install new? you have to be careful with injector and coil settings, you can burn things out pretty easily by getting them wrong

hey,

Moodles.. Thx for the reply... i shall try get my hands on a stock ECU .. but tht might be hard..

Duncan.. Thx for the reply... i am really new to cars and my old man is new to the jap car scene aswell.. we had a read thru the micro tech programming book.. and we think when the car is hot its not getting enough fuel wen the choke is turned off... or something like tht.... ummm also we tried programming it with the hand piece and .. "murphy's LAW" the hand piece doesnt work... or it will not do what the book says =/..... thx for the ideas...

also i dont know is the microquess install is new.. and the coil packs in my car arent stock they were changed out to "Bosch HEC715 Ignition Coils "

cheers guys, Jamie

      Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
