Hi guys, Another A431e question. I google'd(is that even a word) images for a LS400 shifter console and what I got was the following. P R N D 2 L I mentioned before that i have a faulty A solenoid, either wiring or actual solenoid, but in the end its not working. From pull away the car goes...

On my aftermarket computer i can plug in my laptop and see if it picks up the speed. The computer also has LED's that shows on/off of solenoid A/B, those are working and the computer displays speed that matches the speedo. I got one, but its basically just for the sounds, then tons of photos...

ok...new transmission is in, but...there is always a but. Is there a way to test if a solenoid is working without taking off the oil pan? I think my solenoid A is dead...or the wiring isn't working( I hope) When i Pull off there is no power but if i put the transmission in 1 with the...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the info, after phoning around for quite some time I found some one locally that could help bypass the immobilize. And I also found a guy who is running the A650e off a dictator, that is if anyone is interested.

Damn...was hoping that i could be lucky. I did some Google searches for a while this morning (work is boring) and either i am searching for completely the wrong thing or its taboo, because I cant find much information on the topic. I really would like to try the OEM computer because I have...

Morning, The number on my ECU is 89661-50522. I tried looking it up on but its not there http://www.toyodiy.com. Google search of the number yields a wierd site saying its from a 1998-1999 Celsior. Can anyone confirm is this is true?

Thanks for the link, i have been there before but never noticed the "Immobilized ECU" page. I hope mine is not one of them... I will get the ECU number, is it hard to get those transponder keys bypassed?

Hi guys, I hope this is the right section. I am busy with my 2nd 1UZFE conversion. My first was putting the 1uzfe(non vvti) into a 1979 MKII Ford escort. The supplier that i originally got the engine from already removed the stock ecu and it was simpler to go aftermarket. The car has...

Hi Guys, I am hoping you guys can offer some opinions to my problem. I am busy doing a 1UZFE-VVTi conversion into a 1978 F100. I have 2 rear axles and I cant make up my mind on what would be best. Without boring you guys with all the details here is my actual question. What would...

hmm...previous damage...now i remember the transmission used to make funny sounds when i first got the car running. Well thanx for all the info, i am pickup my new A341e tmrw and doing the transplant on the weekend. I will take appart the current one, maby i learn somehing regards Dirk

Hi, How distinctive is the smell of burn ATF type V? The ATF i took out of the box smells like ATF but the clean ATF I still have in the can has a more "petroleum" smell to it. I spoke to some supplier of new transmissions about known problems. They told me that there is some sort of...

I do have a cooler and I will check the voltages to the solenoid wires, I have LED's connected to them so i can see in what gear i am in, that still works so i think the voltage should be ok, i will check. The oil was a bit darker but didn't smell burn, its been in the box for 2000km and its...

Hi, 1stly i would like to thank everyone for all the information that I acquired here over the last year, it really helped with my build. A few months ago I finished my build. 1uzfe+A341e into a 1978 MK2 Ford Escort. The cars runs like a dream, relatively light on fuel and always good to...
