<< Not so Positive things:

The air Intake to the Fuel injector just after the air filter has two plugs

in it.  It seems like these would blow out pretty easily on a backfire or

even just vibration.  The air filter is also hard to reach.

There is no cruise control option enabled.  I think they'll have to rig

something.

The camshaft pulley seemed off center and kind of warbled a bit.

No Oxy sensor.  Could be a problem for DEQ. >>

To All Salivating over the Tii Swap:

The plugs in the intake don't bother me; if need be, they can be beefed-up.
Anyway, when was the last time you heard a backfire?  The lack of cruise
gives me little pause; I usually forget I have it and then quickly get bored
of it.  A wobbling cam pulley might be of concern but, it is easily enough
replaced if that is the extent of the problem.

What puzzles me is how does one get an electronically managed FI system to
operate in other than a default mode without the OXS?
