I assure you this thought crossed my mind before any of the altruism and good will

Old Soarer engine is tired as shit, but being a Toyota it'll go for another 100,000km at least. Checked fluids tonight and if the dipstick can be trusted, the oil is overfull - by quite a bit actually - checked it twice with a wiped stick to confirm. I don't remember overfilling it when I last changed the oil. Oil on the stick had a bit of a fuel smell to it, but most tired old engines will do that. Is it possible that fuel is getting past the piston rings and very slowly filling up the sump, hence overfilled?

Does it run at operating temp for a while or barely manage to get up to temp before its parked again?

If it's changing the level on the dip stick I'd check the injectors to make sure one isnt leaking. Did the fuel economy suddenly get worse?

It runs at operating temp, decent sized trips.

Car had been neglected by mother for years (read: rarely serviced and sat parked on side of road for a couple years barely driven), before I borrowed it as a temp car for Leesh to get around in. I've barely driven it myself so haven't been able to track personality changes in it, but it's not a healthy engine - boosts horribly with flat spots etc. blows a lot of smoke - 300,000km on it and that's probably a wound back odo. Fuel economy would never have been great, probably around 13L/100. Smells of fuel so no doubt has a leak somewhere, be it injector or fittings, was just curious if fuel could leak significantly enough to theoretically top up the sump with a hybrid of oil/fuel.

it just depends how bad the leak is if it's changing the level of the sump it's pretty bad, and your oil is probably in very poor shape.

 

Also, fuel leak from fittings and being able to smell it outside the car is basically asking for it to burn to the ground.

 

Would not be driving/10

1JZ no shit

Can't see a leak from fittings, just assuming there could be a slow one given the smell. Think it's emanating from the fuel tank actually, as there is residue near the fuel flap. What could cause that? Seems like the fuel tank is getting pressurised lol

$50 for the Soarer.

Cash.

Birds, leigh:

CSGO majors on next weekend in Poland. might do some live betting. 8hour timezone difference though, makes it a bit tough. might only watch a match or two, but theres always gambling to be had.

i've had leaky injectors in the ute so if cars sits for a while was leaking into cyl.

worn rings and it would get past, mine would just run like shit after I come back from a trip till it burned off/spat out the excess fuel.

I don't really follow it that much, but it's kinda sad that I know more of those clan names than NBA teams :P

Quietly confident that E-sports will one day be bigger than the NBA

Absolutely, there's the on going debate that e-sports shouldn't be called a sport and the players shouldn't be called athletes etc. 

im always amazed at how many smaller leagues or comps there are going at one time just in the international scene. Not sure who watches it all...

Part of the problem is the games. DOTA/LoL/Smite/Heroes Of The Storm. are variations of the same thing.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
