Been looking for a solution to the Mongrel Part-'Throttle' Behaviour of
Toyota's 2H diesels - to wit - the Vacuum metering system that's only
half smart.
I want to convert to direct metering - getting Mr Vacuum completely out
of the game.
Not an easy trick to find anyone who knows how to do the changes
necessary.
Still working on getting the situation figured...
