thanks man, slowly but surely.

i just cut a hose and wrapped it around the stainless steel line so if it does decide to move a bit i will be protected by the rubber hose then i just put a zip tie.

ghetto fab line shield lol. had a sheet of metal here n the garage and said something is better than nothing lol. it does the job

Just realized you're doing this on an obd2 sc400. I've been wanting to do a manual swap on my '99 vvt-i sc400 forever. I guess with the electronics and CEL issues, it would be pretty much exactly the same as on your '96?

don't people just tie up the auto sensors somewhere in the car so there are no cel's for the solenoids. hopefully there is a better way than that though.
