And now that Fuel Pumps are mentioned, I got my fuel pump and hose replace because they were "deformed", the dealership took care of it, can it be that the fuel pump is damage again?

Fingers crossed, should be getting the new engine management today... Going to make for a busy weekend. Tuesday the car goes in for the new graphics.

If anyone finds themselves at the Lakers VS Clippers game on the 14th, the Yaris will be there on display in the Toyota both.

Between the graphics and ecu work there will be little time left to work on the suspension, but it should be here before our Apr 24-25 double national at Buttonwillow.

Now where are my wheels?????

My Editor has created an "unofficial" SportsCar magazine website to catalog our past projects. It currently covers a couple of our past project cars as well as some other fun projects.

In the future we will be adding more images, as well as more current cars (like the Yaris, after it prints in the magazine).

Finally had a few spare minutes so I put together my video from the SCCA Solo National Tour in San Diego (April 10-11). My Saturday files took a dump, but here are the quick runs from CSL (my wife in an RX-8) and AS (the car owner and myself in his Corvette).

We had the exact same problem with a '89 Honda CRX at Mosport International Raceway in turn 5B. Only it didn't set the check engine light. It would just misfire for a second or two. And it only occurred if we had less than 1/2 tank of gas. We later had problems with oil pressure in the same corner but that set a code and VTEC shut off.

Edit:
It is possible that the ECU is going into fail safe to try and save your non existent cat because of the misfire. The CEL is flashing to warn you of imminent damage to the cat due to the misfire. I've had this happen with my Echo on the track, but I don't have TBW, so it possible the ECU is cutting back the throttle.

The easy fix for us may be to start with more fuel. But the right thing to do would be a fuel cell.

Bluevitz-rs · 03-25-2010, 02:43 PM

Yeah, fuel cell FTW... literally HAHA

cali yaris · 03-25-2010, 02:45 PM

if you do a pump, will you do a return line?

I don't think we can, we have to use the stock fuel injection - less the injectors - so I don't think we can alter the fuel rail.

All part of the challenge of find a cell that will work with our car. New racecar development is fun.

Are you allowed to do a small surge tank?

My car would cut out just like yours did. Alot of the other posters in the forum would give all kinds of advice but really don't think they were running their car 10/10ths.

You run your car pretty hard and the fuel starvation seems to be a natural part of the Yaris due to it's nature to run ....lean.

Hope you find out the fix for it while staying within the boundaries of your class. Good luck!

Jason@SportsCar · 04-06-2010, 04:49 PM

The Yaris is being wrapped right now, will be ready in the AM. Cant wait to see it.

cali yaris · 04-07-2010, 01:40 PM

The guy that did it says it looks sweet.

What was wrong with the previous wrap?

It looks pretty sweet to me... but then, what do I know?

That was actually paint. With this car going to SEMA, for the second time, Toyota had no intentions of just dusting off the old car and putting it in the booth. New project, new graphics. The only part that should be left over from its previous life will be the roll cage, and the header.

It looks way better now.
