Hi Gloverman the trans is the Crown trans and has a model of 30-41LE on the id plate. The computer is also Crown and has 89539 30540 its 26 and 16 pin. I've been thru the pin outs I've found on this site but none show and od off light pin.

Ok I've managed to find the correct pin at the ECU (there's not even a wire coming from it) There's no engine codes coming up. Can anyone tell me how to pull codes from the trans computer? The pin out diagram doesn't show a pin for a trans fault light. I can see on the pin out diagrams that...

Hi all, I have an issue with the 1UZ in my 4Runner. If I start the car and drive off before it warms up and idles down it will stay at high idle speed and mixture until I pull up again, even if I drive for over an hour. Once I pull up it takes around a minute then it drops to normal idle and...

Well 15 months, a wedding and honeymoon, a new job, another 1uz, three sets of wheels and another engineer later my report is done! Now all I need is to get the rego inspection done before the baby is born!

I've never checked the codes so now might be a good time to learn how! To be honest the radiator does struggle and I havnt driven it on a warm day with this engine yet. The old engine got very hot on hills etc but also ran warmer in general too. I'm only running on permits trying to get full...

My setup uses the standard v6 radiator and a pair of Davies Craig 10 inch fans. The temp guage sits just a needle width below half guage on the standard dash most of the time but if I look at a long hill climb or a hotter day it goes up a lot more. I'm looking at fitting a 16 inch spal, a lot of...

Ok to answer the next round of questions: auto trans, standard ecu, on my third thermostat and second throttle body/tps. I swapped engines recently and swapped over a few things that didn't quite match (went from crown to soarer engine) so I'll check the temp sensor and see if that was swapped...

Yes this is the conversion in my 4runner. The problem was there in my Holden ute previous to this conversion so that rules out radiator and throttle cable as both are different. For this conversion I had Venom Cobras trim the loom down and they tested it but I don't know how hot they got it...

Hi guys, my problem is that my engine won't drop to low idle unless my car is sitting still. It doesn't matter how far I drive when I pull up it's still at high idle. If i sit still (like at traffic lights) it will drop down after about 20 seconds then be alright from then on. Anyone want to...

Thanks Zuffen, yes that's exactly where I found it. I'm still in talks with engineers at the mo so havnt had to prove it to any one yet!

Hi all, another update for you. My 'Runner is coming along nicely. With the newly modified shafts bolted into place we drove the car to and from a friends workshop to respray the body. in total we wouldve covered about 250km. Initially i had some cooling dramas when i pulled up at red lights but...

Hi all, just a quick progress report. The engine is mounted, wired and plumbed and starts up 1st flick of the key. dropping it into gear makes the output flanges spin but the drive shafts dont come back from hardy spicers until tonight so no movement yet! The radiator was a little fun...

Thanks guys, that gives me something else to research in my lunch time! I've already got a hot rod with shannons so that might help:) I'm still playing around mounting my battery and air cleaner etc. Gotta sort out drive shafts and finish off the wiring too. plus the body is getting a respray...

Thanks guys, I've already got the Celsior sump from Brisbane and got the engine in on mounts that I should finish off tonight. Looks like it should've always lived there!! Trans cross member is nowhere near but one of the apprentices at work has a spare 4cyl Hilux one that sounds like it will go...

Can anyone tell me where to find the engine number on my Crown 1UZFE? I'm trying to do the paperwork for my 4runner conversion but can't find the number anywhere on the block? Any sugestions would be great.
