    The HEET will definitely make it gargle a bit. The HEET raised your alcohol-to-fuel ratio. HEET Winter blend yellow bottle has a higher concentration,,it's damn near pure Methanol;);). Some racers are using it for there occasional alky injection systems when they cant find pure Methanol. Sta-bil fuel stabilizer will do the same thing (stumble).

    Run it out and load it up with some extra sweet(92 oct) and see how it behaves. After all this,,it deserves it.

    Keep us posted.

    Drove the little guy through the entire tank of gas and filled with 93 octane and still has a strong intermittent hesitation in any gear over 2,000rpm. It'll pull and cruise highway speed but will intermittently miss. Could the timing still be off a touch causing this miss at higher rpm? How can I tell? You can't click the distributor like old days???

    The FP will NOT run until you CRANK the engine. It will NOT come on when you turn the ignition switch to "ON".

    This is a long-standing Toyota safety feature. The fuel pump doesn't run unless the engine is cranking or running.
