Goodspeed Wrote:It was something called a 'Fuel Pulsation Damper', something of Toyota's typical over-engineering. As far as I can tell its purpose is to smooth out the flow of gas to the engine (?). Long story short I had to pay $118 dollars at Steven Toyota this evening for a new one, should be here on Saturday. According to the Supra forums it can be bypassed by sourcing 7M-GE non-turbo lines etc., but it may hurt reliability. I wasn't about to try and find all that crap. I'm fine with paying for OEM quality, and if the thing lasted all these years and miles I'm confident the new one will continue to do so.
We put some JB Weld on the broken one, hopefully that'll get me through a few days. HUGE HUGE thanks to Ryan and DJ for missing work and class to help me out.
That fuel pulsation thing is the gayest thing on earth. The turbo mr2's have those things too.
