Bryce it's only used for sealing the actual butterfly inside the throttle body.

IF you haven't cleaned the stock stuff off then you have nothing to worry about.

You would think the workshops around here would have something they use.

I texted my mate at Toyota and he is going to check for me.

If I can't find anything then I might just bite the bullet and order some of the stuff.

Check this stuff out guys

kasko you should try some Hylomar, was recommended to me by scotty for sealing off my plenum and its worked so far, so for your throttle body it would be worth the $14 to try.. comes in a bottle or spray

Started up the car on Monday and it had a rough idle.

Gave it a little rev and it stalled.

Been trying to diagnose the issue for the past 2 nights.

After checking fuel & spark I finally got to checking comp

GAME OVER

Cyl 1 = 90

Cyl 2 = 25

Cyl 3 = 70

Cyl 4 = 90

Cyl 5 = 60

Cyl 6 = 70

Haven't done it at all

Owned the car for 45,000km

And I'm not sure when the previous guy did it.

I guess I should have checked it and done it when I first purchased the car. As you know I have had both power steering and fan belt snap.

Yep i recall :P

Maybe check the timing and condition on it first by just taking the top cover off....

The fact all cylinders are down indicates something dodgy going on...

Everyone seems to think the engine could still possibly be okay. I always fear the worst in these situations.

I'll take the cover off tonight if its easy enough to get to. Should only be a few bolts right?

Yeah its easy enough man!

And at the end of the day, who cares if its the engine? Its a standard RB, its not the end of the world :) Look at the positives hehe

Not worried about the cost of a new engine.

More worried about the labour costs to pull out and fit a new engine.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
