Thanks guys Appreciate your quick input. As I explained, I am using the standard loom at the moment, with unnecessary wiring removed. This I did a few years ago when I had 8 weeks off work due to surgery - and what better way to R & R than to spend it de-wiring a Crown! Before I dismantled it...

Hi All. Its been a while! I am trying to diagnose a possibly dead ECU from a 1989 Crown (part number 89661-30430, 8 - 26 - 16 - 22 pin). I can see 12Volts on pins 1 and 2 of the 22 pin connector and ground on pin 14 of the 26 pin connector. I am referring to a set of diagrams I downloaded from...

Two years and a bit later... I'd love to! But with Boto Phucket playing naughty boys, how do I post pictures? I got it right on Ozrodders, but I cant see the same facility on here.

Nice start mate. Will you be powder coating all the bits? What's it going into? Keep us posted with pix!

Hi Handgrenade.. Probably a bit late, but here is what I have done: As you can see I have made up a metal plate (red) that spreads the load from the alternator belt tension across the face of the tensioner. At the bottom of the alternator you can see the adjustment bracket. I have since...

Thanks George. Interesting that, most cars I have played with the senders approach zero ohms as the tank gets empty. Toyota's the other way round? Jeff

hi all. As it says, I am searching for the specs for a 1998 Crown fuel sender , [1uz engine) Ie full and empty resistance. I have tried the search, and google. lots of misleads. Thanks in advance.

Sorry about the lack of reply... Until now. I removed the fan hub assembly complete, and replaced it with a fabricated cover. It took me the better part of a day, using CAD to get the design right then aircraft shears and file to get the shape right. I will post a piccy if anyone is...

Hi All. I am tidying up the front of the 1UZ. I want to move the wires that go to the crank angle sensor from where they currently go, across the left hand cam belt lower cover etc, to under the left hand spark plug lead cover, and down the engine side. I intend to run the wires over the...

Pardon me if this sounds wrong, but regarding: "more importantly it might be linked to the what is proven to be common deceleration cut out, or cutting out as you coast down or lift off," - this sounds normal for most cars with fuel injection built in the last 20 years or so? My grocery...

Thanks Gloverman. I have googled pictures of the mount. As you say, some are close. I might be able to modify one if I have to. Thanks again.

Hi All. Just need a 1989 Crown gearbox mount. The rubber has come off the metal on mine. Anybody have one surplus, or know if there is an alternative? Cheers. Jeff.

Hi George. I was kinda hoping there would be some responses from those that have tried this? Maybe no one has.There may be legal issues in some countries. I was (am?) planning a similar idea on my Chev. I am using a 1UZ from a Crown, which has the exhaust cut out connection on the ECU, so why...

Hi Rod and all. Good to see you are still "dabbling". Anyone have an idea of the cost of a "professional" check/repair of an ECU?

Yeah, I should have been more explicit. If you are careful, you can use a SMALL hammer and a long screwdriver to tap at the base of each injector while the engine is running (albeit on whatever injectors do fire). I posted this a long while ago, and the advice was, as I tried (sucessfully)...

probably not related, but my 1UZ had been sitting for a LONG time when I tried to start it (still in the 1/2 cut). It would fire and run for a for seconds then stop. Not sure if this applies to your 1UZ, but the crown mine came out of has a start injector, which was working fine, but ALL the...

Ya bein' fussy Doug! I would run the NSW and clutch switch between the start contact on the IGN switch and the relay input. That way you are not running starter sol current through the clutch and neutral switches.

A while ago, I was working on a server (computer....) and I had reached the end of my tether. So I called the support guy. His answer? "Jeff, if I had THAT problem, I'd be calling YOU!" Confidence inspiring, yes? Same thing, Rod. If I had YOUR issue, I'd be calling you! Having said that, if...

Get well wishes. Hi Dave. No, I dont know you personally,but that doesn't stop my appreciating your work. Sorry to hear your not 100% but give the medico's their due. Hopefully they'll fix ya up like a new 1UZ!

Yeah, I know - been a while.. Is this still available? PM, or call me 0412105608. Cheers! Jeff
