too bad your across the pond. i got a 96 ecu i grabbed in hopes i could run my 93 off of it. did some research, no go, so i never even attempted to plug it in.

oh yeah, your comment about "fail safe mode" negative ghost rider. its customary practice of toyota to pull timing and ignition in the case of a failure, not the fuel. this is why a toyota will never leave you on the side of the road (think about that) it will leave you in a parking lot, or in...

i did the same. i followed all wires from the ecu to the sensors, cross checked continuity between the vta1 and vta2 as well as the afm. the blue/red wire has full continuity, with no resistance at all 4 points, and crossed between the sensors themselves. i even snagged a tps plug from a...

any light on your side?

im interested in your findings. im having the same issues. runs great, idles great, but anything over 60ish% load and the engine cuts out. i put an injector node on my injectors, and hooked up the timing light to see whats going on when this happens. turns out, its dropping the injectors, but...

so what will cause the ecu to pull the injector signal over 50% load? i just got done going through the 142. replaced 5 caps, 3 of which the same locations as the 141 previous ecu, 2 in other locations. i picked up a stock pile of 16v 220mf, 10v 100mf, 35v 15uf, and 50v 10uf capacitors...

yes..... ok, update. went to the u pull yard today, well....2 of them. first yard was the more popular yard, every LS400 was stripped of its ecus, and most frequently worn parts (seat memory module, lcd a/c panel, fuel pump control module etc.) no tps's, afm's, IACV's, or any of the likes...

this was on the engine harness side....

BINGO!! at a first glance, i seen 2 caps busted, replaced them, no help. out of frustration i opened it up again, replaced 2 more caps (4 total). noticed a burnt looking spot on the chip board, visually followed all the circuits then tested continuity to all of them, all good. plugged the ecu...

89661-50141 89661-50140 89661-50142 pin configuration; 34p 22p 16p 28p need asap! prefer local, i travel all over the southeast US for work though, can pick up or meet. need a good, known working unit. mail is fine also, paypal avail, or money order mailed to you.

meaning the seal that presses into the valve cover itself, not the plug wire boot. see the issue is, i have a pleathera of 1uz parts available to help me, but not ucf10 parts....

crank angle sensor changed......same effects, however: its trying to clear up. i also have about 5-6 fuse boxes lying around from other toyota swaps, so i decided to swap out some relays, just as a stab in the dark, its trying to come around, better than it was by far. i was able to do a full...

also, car doesnt wanna start now, have to apply a little fuel to get it started.....

a few questions though: 1. where is the main harness ground on the engine? 2. how do these vehicles react to old, or low life batteries? im asking because of the light dimming situation. im getting 14.7 volts at 1500rpm revs, so the alt is doing its job, but when the car is off, im getting...
