that's my problem. i have no cel signal, ergo no codes. i switched the ecu back to the original, no more buzzing vsv. it looks like that vsv has something to do with the fuel system. be that as it may, i have a used 89661-24230 ecu on its way to have rebuilt/reprogrammed. it seems that the...

sent the vendor for megasquirt some questions about a week ago, haven't heard back. doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... be that as it may, i managed to get an ecu #89661-2440 for $100. plugged it in and it seems to work, but at first the engine wanted to idle very low to the point of...

got a weird problem cropping up (i'd like to throttle who ever it was that did this swap). every day i start up the unit and it usually gets warmed up to about 160F (idling down) by the time i'm ready to go. i get rolling, and it goes out-to-lunch not being able to decide whether to be in...

brake booster. if you like living, don't drive it again until you get that replaced or serviced. it might just be a bad vac leak, but being that you hear it where the brake pedal is, prognosis is poor. how to test your brake booster: with car off, hit brake pedal several times until it...

first, load test your battery to make sure it is holding a charge, and make sure all your main connections are clean and tight. also, get your multimeter out, disconnect the battery and bridge the gap with the meter to see what the actual draw really is. if its 300milliamps or less, you are...

that doesn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement...

thanks, that narrows it down a fair bit. a/c is a non-issue, since i have none. and as far as i know, the only models available here with the 1UZ engine in '94 were the SC and LS 400, and the ecu for these are quite different. the plugs don't even match, so are not easily interchangeable...

i get no check engine signal from my ecu. i'm looking to price out another (in case it's the ecu at fault), but the previous owner has gone and torn the part number sticker off. marvelous. there seems to be a few variants for my unit. as far as i know, the engine/ecu is from a 1994 us spec...

thanks. i sorted out where it was on the ecu (plug "A" pin 6, blue wire with yellow stripe) but it doesn't seem to work, nothing at the engine obd plug either. if i'm reading the wiring diagram correctly, it's a ground switch. but no ground when the key is switched to the "on" position. test...

did a bit of research here and elsewhere, poked through the wiring diagrams and can't quite come up with the right answer. 1994 SC400 engine/ecu/trans into a '94 hilux. i'm having an intermittent hesitation upon acceleration problem, but alas no lamp to indicate a code for me. pretty...

thanks, all.

where can i pick up a tach signal on this engine? coil negative? does it come out as an 8 cylinder signal? on a similar subject, i think i know where the speed sensor on the transmission is, does anyone know which wires do what on that? looking for a pulse per mile signal. in the...
