Update

September 27 2013

Back at the dealer again today. To no surprise same issue this time instead of breaking down in a Kroger parking lot it was while crossing traffic. Got to the dealer and the lead tech supervisor today was very professional and knowledgable he apologized for the mis communication from the service advisor yesterday and is personally handling this process now. He pulled the codes and they were again "fuel" related today... He's keeping the car over the weekend to run diagnostics as well as forwarding this information to Toyota. Hopefully Monday I will get my car back because I have to go out of town for work Tuesday. They also provided me with a nice rental car today.

Well finally go my car back from the dealer today. They diagnosed the issue to faulty wiring on the direct injection sensor to the harness. So the harness has been replaced and the car is fine now. Basically as the voltage changes due to the loose wire, the direct injection was told to dump fuel immediately followed by a lean code etc read the above for better description. I'm really happy with the service tech and the local dealer how they handled this now and happy to finally have the car.

From the look of the picture, the harness came melted from the factory??

It looks like a bad splice (factory) that was making some heat and toasted the insulation on some of the other wires a bit. That could have been a problem...

Thanks for posting the pic. If I ever have a similar issue, I'll know where to look.

The loose ground could have caused a high current flow at that junction, resulting in those compound failures. I would make sure the battery ground is secure, especially as these cars age and batteries get replaced.

With only 170 miles, and a week of ownership on a leased car, my money's still on a manufacturing defect...

Unless someone did it on the boat or dealer lot it was born with that defect.

When I went back to a stock manifold on my s2000 from ITB's I had to re wire the injectors and TPS. I'm fairly confident in my abilities to do so. So I have no reason to jerry rig the wires on a high pressure fuel sensor on a stock car.
