I think what im going to try to do is install inline fuses on both the ign power input wire and m-rel output wire at the ecu . hopefully that will prevent me from eating another ecu

I had a extra computer ( California emissions >>) but it worked . the engine runs , it idles real low and doesnt have the best take off, but computer is running , so it does look like something is killing the m relay output on my computers. has anyone had this issue where voltage out from the...

so WHERE to begin.... 1988 cressida , 1uzfe out of a 1995 ls400. over the last year , since i have got the engine swap done, i have gone thru three computers all with the same problem , loss of m-rel output. it always seems to end the same way. no throttle response then loss of the m-relay...

So my 1uz swapped cressida has this weird issue. The voltage when either pressing on the brake pedal or turning on the headlights , drops the voltage down to 10.4 v when running . it stopped doing it then did it again. I do have an aftermarket electric fan and a 1000 watt stereo system, so i...

new computer new car! .it runs great. my advice for anyone that has a 95 ls400 swap. GET THE 4TH REVISION OF THE ECM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Save yourself the grief

So update. I met a guy through the net that , claims to be the originator of the capacitor leak repair. He explained a lot of the issues i have been having , with sluggish power , and losing m-rel output. I found out that the 95 ls400 has software issues with their ecus , along with the...

After taking the ecu apart. I did find both my ecus have the same capacitors leaking

any suggestions on someone that can rebuild these . I live in the united states , In Indiana

this damn 1uz fried another ecu! here is the course of events that unfolded :( #exhaust leak , collector was leaking and welds on egr tube blocked off. collector is fixed the header i need to remove. # i ran out of gas. fuel gauge not reliable . filled up atm now #unhooked the maf and intake...

it seems to be fine now , i may have another issue with #5 , but atm its running great, with the 3rd replacement ecu. Only thing i notice is it has a light gray mist when cold , but after its warmed up its all good

i will probably do just that. im assuming the drivers were bad in the old computer , as it hydrolocked the engine but with the new engine it runs fine , i wonder if it was a combination of the two both stuck #5 and an ecu . maybe thats why the engine runs a little rich when cold

So i wanted to give an update on the engine flooding issue. I received a new used ecu and cleaned out all my cylinder of fuel. i cleaned the spark plugs and reinstalled them. I noticed that the #5 cylinder was full of fuel when i took out the plugs. All the plugs were black and wet with fuel...

do the injector grounds pulse when they fire?

So update on engine issues. the new ecu didnt change much, i still idles right , but it still has smoke coming out that smells like fuel. i havnt tried driving it to see if this is just residual fuel or what . Injectors maybe? . #6 cylinder was flooded when i pulled all the plugs out. it was the...
