re-set the ECU and pray,

might pay to pull out all the plugs and give them a good clean,
and the EGO sensor aswell.

put amsoil in it , then it won't sound like a diesel /pan

seriously though, put a gallon of normal 95ron fuel in then run it for a min or 2 then drain the tank again , this will have flushed the fuel rail and fuel return out, then fill with super as per usual , and then give it a good blast to clear it out of the exhaust etc. it may well smoke for a bit but that will clear

I noticed both the old and new VR4's have monster filler holes. I guess neither was properly converted for the SVA as the nozzle rattles around like something silly.
