OK, Think I solved the problem. Re-plumbed the intake properly this time and replaced the RH O2 sensor. Cleared the diagnostic codes, which was difficult to do. Codes 41 & 47 did not want to clear except by disconnecting battery completely for several minutes, but now there are no faults and...

I'm now pretty happy with my recent conversion (92 Celsior and auto) into my 4WD Hilux. However, I've now discovered that I cannot kickdown the auto from 2nd to 1st. All other kickdowns are good, but if you're going quite slow and the vehicle is in 2nd, then you floor it, nothing happens. Any...

I've got fault codes 41 & 47 coming up, but can't find out what would be the cause. Motor accelerates to about 1500 RMP and then drops back to idle, but only whilst driving. It's OK when in neutral. If I really nurse the pedal, I can get up to normal speed without it dying, but as soon as I...

Ok, Tonight I did a diagnostic check and came up with: code 41 - Throttle position sensor code 47 - Sub throttle position sensor code 28 - Main O2 sensor I don't know where the two throttle position sensors are. Anyone please? Ric

I would have thought the motor wouldn't drive but only idle too, but I have done a lot of searching on this forum to confirm my results. I have driven around with it physically disconnected for at least 3 days, now and am paying the price by using heaps of fuel. Yesterday, the symptoms changed...

SCV8, Yes if the AFM is disconnected or inoperative, the ECU has a default set of values it uses, which may or may not be rich and therefore may or may not be heavy on fuel. I could just keep driving around with it disconnected, but I would like to get to the bottom of this before I get LPG...

Tried a search but no joy. I have noticed that if I disconnect the air flow meter plug, my Hilux has much more acceleration, particularly at take off. Could this mean the Air Flow Meter is cactus, or is something else wrong. This is only a very recent conversion and the motor is out of an early...

I'm having a little trouble getting my oil pressure guage to work properly after doing the conversion into my Hilux. It used to be a 2.8 diesel and I am using the diesel sender unit, but get no reading on the gauge, so am assuming that the diesel engine has higher oil pressure than the 1UZ. If...

For the price of an aftermarket fuel pump, around $200, why don't you just buy an EFI fuel tank from a Surf or 4Runner for around the same price or less and problem solved. Nemesis, from the 4WD Monthly forum is wrecking one and that would be cheaper than a wrecker. He's in the Blue Mountains...

Kev, Yeh, I should have the air filter cover. I'll check when I get home. As for the shell, yes, it's all still there. The dash is all pretty much intact, stereo cassette, pedal Box, steering rack. There's also some stuff from the engine bay I don't know much about. As soon as I'm totally...

Wanting to sell: 1 x A30-41LE (A341LE) auto box with Torque convertor - $300 1 x Radiator and air cond condenser complete - $100 These came out of a half cut I bought from SSS Autos for my Hilux conversion. I also have other bits from the half cut if anyone wants to take it off my hands...

I toyed with this when trying to fit my radiator into my Hilux, but have managed to fit it without having to cut the brace. I am fitting the thermo between engine and radiator as I believe it wil work better that way. If I had gone ahead and done that though, I had intended to weld a brace just...

Thanks Lex, but I'm hoping to get one in Sydney. Have rung all the wreckers, but they only deal with Japanese imported 1UZs. These all seem to be the hydraulic pump type fans. Only Australian complianced Lexus LS400s apparently have what I'm looking for, but thanks for the offer. I've read a...

I've got one. It's off a 90 ish Celsior auto box. I'm in Sydney (Dural), you can have it for a 6 pack, mate. Ring me on 0414441400. Cheers, Ric

I'm chasing an engine driven fan blade from the Lexus LS400. I'm located in Sydney

Sideshow, that would be great. I'll PM you, but incase you don't get it, my mobile is 0414441400. Thanks, mate. Ric

Quote: "if u put a manual behind it it feels like u have gained maybe 30 or so hp." Sideshow, I am in the process of getting the bits together for an auto/1UZ conversion in my 94 Hilux 4x4. I am interested in your comments about the 30 or so HP feel in difference between the manual and auto. I...

I am into the process of trying to purchase a forerunner auto and transfer so I can remove the output shaft and housing and fit it to the lexus box. This conversion is to go into a 94 Hilux which has a right hand side transfer in it with IFS. I have read numerous threads on this and other forums...
