Interesting placement for the dimmer switch. Is that a new location, or where Toyota had it originally?

Are you staying clear of the smoke up there? We've been "fogged in" the last week with heavy smoke. I finally got outside all day yesterday to do a few repairs. It was still smoky, but I just couldn't stay indoors any longer!

Hope they find the issue, and get it back to you quickly.
I contacted Holley recently with a very simple question. What size are the factory jets in my Quick Fuel 650 double pumper as they go out the door. Of course I could pull the bowls easily to find out, but wanted to know before pulling the bowls. It only took them a week to finally tell me they're 71 primary, and 74 secondary. Way to big for my 350 SBC.
I emailed back to tell them their response time was horrible, and I'd already gotten tired of waiting and pulled the metering blocks to see for myself.

the sarcastic in me suggests the only reason it was running was because of the rpm noise issue. I fixed that issue, then it stopped running.
and I'll say it again, even more directly, there is not a grounding issue. something within the computer was unhappy and it stopped triggering the injectors....

ground loop interference, low voltage, low current devices... it doesn't take a whole lot of noise to get a bad signal. Just throwing it out there for consideration.

do you ground the efi sensors back to the efi controller or use chassis/battery ground?

‘90’s TBI in general does a good job of proving how simple it can be to make an engine run. I’ll never forget the first time I saw fuel spraying the top of a closed butterfly valve.

an off road application. ask me how i know...
as for hating EFI, i hate EVERYTHING computer controlled.
if theres any job in the world with built in job security, its IT tech.
i like carbs and mechanical fans and mechanical pumps and
such because they have rarely left me stranded--but EVERY
electric fan, holley blue or red pump, aftermarket efi, etc has
done it to me and lots of other people i know of.
