A bleeding down lifter can definantly be a part of the KR if it'* enough for the KS to hear.

My 2 cents.
Humm what do you mean when the lights are on? headlights?

When you turn your lights on it creates a draw on the alt and then engages the alt which puts a load on your motor......The IAC would have to open up a lil to keep the desired idle.
Ohhhhhhh. I didn't check. But my lights were off when i got those readings.

I'm sure the KS can't distinguish between detonation caused by oil rather than poor fuel quality.

will, while I gotcha on the line, what'* with the avatar? I've uploaded mine according to the instructions and it has yet to appear. Can you help?

Default MLS

If you installed MLS head gaskets did you coat them with copper gasket spray and change the bolts? ARP bolts are what I use on the Supra.

You also need a larger DP -you really got duped on the 2.25" DP -2.5" was factory stock. I bet you are getting at least 1-2* KR from that small of a DP. talk about a bottle neck with all your mods pulling in more air, but once in they have practically no where to go.
I can get a 3" DP (crimp bent -but it'* still an advantage over the original 2.5" crimp bent) made for $35 (+ shipping) for you, but you will need to save your original flex pipe to be welded to the DP.
I had one put on my 98 SSE and that probably wasn't moving nearly as much air as you are, and I had drastic gains (Note: I also had my 2.5" magnaflow high flow cat installed at the same time). You will definitely see gains from a 3" DP and a high flow cat with that cam and all the other mods.
PM me if you are interested.

I do totally agree it'* probably contributing to my KR.

Does your chip have a lot of extra timing tacked on?

Hows the fuel pump/pressure? ( new o2 can't hurt either..)

Need a fuel pressure tester. I think you hook it on to the relief valve on the FPR? I've never used one, so it'* just a guess..... I could be wrong.
