Got the oil leak fixed, found out I had a bad valve cover and MAP fixed it all up (also realized I forgot to switch the injector pins). The problem with the stuttering/lean mode went away for a day, but on my way back home today it happened again. So I disconnected the battery power for a minute and it fixed the problem. This is going to be annoying if I have to disconnect my battery every couple of days. Scheides, did dsmlink fix the problem on your old 2g?

My gas mileage is so awesome now, I love it. Normally I got around 270 miles per tank, I'm at almost 300 now and it's just below the quarter full mark. Granted it was 100% highway, but I'm guessing it'll turn out to be 28mpg or so, about 4-5 increase.

Also, when I used to cruise on the highway, it would sometimes have to get into a pound of boost to maintain 75 up a hill, but now it never gets above the 10 in vacuum, maybe why I'm getting better highway mileage.

Anyway, just need to fix the high idle and adjust the throttle position sensor now, plus little things like a boost leak test. It's still pretty driveable in the current condition though, it'll be a few weeks before I get to fix everything.
