My car decides when it wants to start

The IAT is in your AFM, suprra_girl posted previously that it probably bit the dust. Did you try another?
The only adjustment ive heard of for the AFM is the tension adjustment for the flapper so it opens quicker.

[supramacist]

Yes.
You go ahead and adjust your AFM.
I'll keep my 200 bucks.

Lexus 550cc injectors are the largest that I know of anyone using.

If you didn't replace the grommets for the injector to head application.
That 3$ piece of rubber you neglected is going to cost you some work sir.

Work smart. Not hard.
Good Luck.

are you still running stock exhaust? i know the problem seems to be bigger than this, but if the exhaust smells funky, your 20 y/o cats are probably clogged and might be keeping your exhaust gasses from flowing properly.. not saying this is gonna fix everything, but might also be part of the problem.

peace

well I pulled my dip stick and it smells like gas and I bought the motor from a shop that imports motors from japan it only has 50,000 on it now and when I replaced my camcover gasket I never took the injectors out, I know you need to replace orings. I want to do a fuel pressure test on the fuel rail and the tool you need (sst 09268-45012) is not availible to buy, is there anyway I can take out the injectors and test them out of the car. I think the problem it getting worse b/c now it smelll more like gas when trying to start.

your dipstick smells like gas? sounds like a head gasket or a cracked cylinder or majorly stuffed piston rings. One way to test it take off the oil cap and put hand over it. If you can feel pressure, that's not a good sign. Not too sure if it will work with the dipstick.

But I can't see why that will cause your engine to play up. Possible options are fuel pump or filter, Throttle position sensor, computer is fried, spark plugs and leads, timing maybe out, blocked air filter. But as Suprra Girl said, "do a diagnosis!!!!". But I'm pretty sure your piston rings are stuffed.
