That’s what I’d recommend. These engines don’t like high loads at low revs. 2000 rpm is the lowest you want to load the engine at. Cheers Bennie2 points

The EJ25 engines typically have peak torque at around 4000 r/min. And torque drops off quickly below 2000 r/min. So I tend to keep the engine speed between 2000 and 4000 r/min (for my style of driving, there's rarely any need to go higher than 4000).1 point

if this is a manual, yeah, downshift.. cruising rpms should be in the 2500-3000rpm range.. 1500 is way too low1 point

I have run hydraulic pushrods on a solid lifter motor but you can't do it the other way around. We used to do it as the caps wouldn't pop off like solid lifter pushrods at high rpm.1 point

It's a system rich code. It's only going to trigger if the system is pulling like 25% fuel for a period of time. You need someone that's familiar with interpreting live data and has an in-depth understanding of closed loop fuel control. It's not that complicated to troubleshoot. And no - the ECU isn't "just too sensitive". That's a cop-out from a mechanic that doesn't know his business. GD1 point

“Lugging” the engine. It will coast at those revs ok, but it won’t really like to pull speed from those revs in a high gear. Try changing down a gear at that speed to increase revs and see if that changes anything. If it persists I’d be looking at spark plugs, then leads, then the coil pack - one at a time to hopefully save money and identify the actual problem. Cheers Bennie1 point

With the old school seats it was easiest to swap material onto your old drivers seat. Cut one hole for the handle and you’ll have one hole exposed but nobody can see it.1 point
