Doug recommended this Octane boost.. less then $3 ... good for 3 tank fulls in my 7 gallon tank... My winning noise at idle is completely gone :) 100,600 miles on odometer
I need to pay more attention but that humming/ whining noise at idle seems to have gone away... I'm now thinking that it might have been from that same hose when it had a small crack... the leak eventually turned into a hole causing a rough idle... I hope that was it... definitely need to replace ALL hoses when I get engine rebuild...
Went to meet Brant... A dude I met on the MR2 forums who lives 9 minutes away... 1223 Avenida De Los Arboles rd... Cool dude , he has a red 85 NA he's working on... anyways... on the way home I noticed my idle was rough... when I pulled in the driveway I heard a loud hissing sound go off when I turned the car off.. the intercooler hose had a hole and was causing the problem... I bought a new hose but could tell in was not reinforced enough and was colapsing  on itself... so I ordered a couple new ones pictured bellow... $17 each...
