THE TWO WIRED PLUGS IN THE COILS The two wires that goes into the plug: Is it critical which wire go into which hole? Or can they be interchanged? (very high water here now, flood conditions, very difficult to get into the boat to look at wires & colours will the two wires on the LH coil...

Right, thanks. In addition to somehow having broken the plug on one coil I have likely done something stupid with the timing then Having no sons I should have time available to look into this!

sleek car, not like the Volgas I remember from my childhood

Thanks, I did leave the pipe as it was, (for now at least). Having an idea of model/year makes spare part purchases easier, have made some mistakes so far. Would not mind avoiding further mistakes. Tried starting yesterday after having put the mill together again. Starter did not turn...

Thanks. Crown Majesta is fine with me, not fussy. Did you see my previous entry re age indicators? Is this bit about 1995 and AFM in black plastic versus metallic box correct? If so, the engine should be Crown Majesta from some time between 1995 and VVT? Is there a point in having that water...

WATER PIPE (NOT IN USE) On my 1UZ there is a water pipe down in the V between the two cylinder banks. Its of some kind of light metal and is about 1 inch in diameter. It originates from one of the bigger pipings at the head of the engine, goes down in the V and back to the end of the V and...

HOW OLD IS MY 1UZ? Always a bit tricky to buy spare parts when you don't know which car the engine coes from and don't know year/model. I do have some Age Indicators (AIs) for my engine Will list them below. Fine if someone know of further AIs or would like to guess year/model. VVT No, without...

QUESTION ON WIRING THE STARTER Can the starter on a 1UZ (2nd generation - pre VVT) be wired completely independent of the ECU? Does the ECU need to know when I turn my key from ignition-on position to start position? Will big positive cable from battery to starter and smaller positive cable...

Have compiled a list of various parts that have been changed/renewed on my 1UZ, would be very interested if anybody had some comments about the parts at the bottom of the list, the ones in ? ? marks. Are these parts that should be renewed every "now and then"? New parts: over the past 4 years...

Couldn't agree more than with glovermans comment "I think your boat needs a simplier loom". For the fun of it, have compiled a list of "things" done to my 1UZ which I think ought to result in a slimmer/simpler loom; Electrical/electronic wired “thingies” that are «gone»: Toyota gearbox and...

Thanks. Will do this simplification, for sure. Gives me real pleasure every time a wire can be removed from the 1UZ loom. And this is big party time, 3 wires down the drain in 1 go. (the ignition-on --> IG plint will go in my own wiring arrangement outside the 1UZ loom) Yes, I am almost certain...

OK, thanks a heap. Will write this down and implement it next time I open the loom, (quite time consuming to open - much more than just tape that has to go). Will do B <--> positive buss (both batteries have a 200A fuse on the pole) Will skip L Will do S <--> B Will do ignition-on <--> IG...

Yes, maybe it would be best to follow what Toyota recommends. My thinking behind my question was with a possible view to have a few wires removed though. I have looked around at www through some old wiring recommemdations, my understanding of how the alternator should be wired is as follows...

Patrick1uz; Have talked around. Nobody in my surroundings were familiar with powder colouring engine parts or metal bits. This powder colouring, is it a bit like sand blasting? Dry powder you blast with high pressure? onto the parts? Any heat treatment or done cold?

CABLES IN THE ALTERNATOR'S OVAL PLUG What are these cables for? Do they have a function beyond switching the no-charge/charge lamp on and off?

Are O-ring sets for the injectors readily available from Toyota dealers in NZ and/or AUS? Or do you get them from ebay/amazon or the like?

CHANGING THE ALTERNATOR*S SENSING 2nd generation 1UZ with oval plug on the alternator I would like to have my alternator sensing directly on the batterypoles rather than sensing internally in the alternator. The backside of the alternator looks somewhat different from what I am familiar with...

nice one, deserves a 1uz

For removing the seals I used a fiarly long nosed pair of pliers made for the purpose. Bought it on Amazon. Worked brilliantly. The spark plug tubes I didn't bother to remove. For removing the valves/springs; I did not use the big valve pliers tool. I used a magnet to lift the knocker-box...
