Replaced the ecu with the updated ecu 89661-50224 so far no issues

So update. The bypass switch did not work still had the no crank issue even with the ignition bypass. I feel so stupid lol . Last week couldnt get it to start in my garage, so i put my battery charger on it and immediately it fired up!! I grabbed a new battery and havnt had a issue since. Its...

Thank you Ivan , I will look into this and get back with you

Hi Folks , 88 Cressida Guy again with another issue on this forever project So recently the Cressida had devolved a random no crank, just a click click like the Bendix isn't extending . Since the starter was original to the engine from 95' i decided to just replaced it. I thought is was fixed...

thank you for the information . I really appreciate it . i have since reversed the fans from pushing to pulling . i also found a 77 degree thermostat for a sc400 . i need a good hot day to confirm its fixed but, the help of the lexstreme forum and all its memebers has been a lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!!

So what your saying is the hot air is blowing from the radiator is blowing onto the engine ? rather than out the front of the vehicle

today i found a 77 degree thermostat for a sc400 so i decided might as well try. so replaced the the stat and will drive tomorrow. i did a little science experiment with the old one and it says 82 degrees Celsius and didnt open till 92 degeees!!! will update tomorrow

i was check to make sure there aren't open holes anywhere. what do u think about replacing the oe thermostat with the trd performance.

So i havnt changed the thermostat, but what i did do was remove the radiator shroud that i made from a piece of aluminum. I had it there for directing more air flow to the radiator,but i think i may have been causing heat issues. Not sure will re Evaluate as the temperature outside goes up...

thank you for the technical information . to make the fan location clear. the fans are in-between the radiator and the engine not the radiator support. they are pushing air thru the radiator and a/c condenser and out the front grill. i am going to pull the thermostat this morning and check to...

the fans are behind the radiator , i did 100% verify the fans are pushing thru the radiator. i have a replacement thermostat. i wanted to try the trd 70 degree or the mits 76 degree option ,but haven't ordered either. I do have a ls400 thermostat, but skeptical it will change anything especially...

So 95 ls400 is overheating at idle. I have a 3 core radiator , and i did have just a 15" electric fan bolted directly to the radiator. It did ok ,but on hot days is would get up to 240f at idle. So i got a mishimoto dual fan setup with a shroud thinking it would help direct the heat better. Well...

absolutely! i was thinking of using a expedition rear end so i can have the strength of a ford 8.8" and still have independent travel. i may in the meantime try using a torsen kit. I've seen they are fairly affordable

What borg warner product do u suggest?

So i am running a 1uz with a w58 gearbox and a 85 celica supra rear end with 3:73 gears. All seems to be good ,but the rear end keeps puking out of the vent and ive been changing the fluid in it regularly due to excessive friction material. I do plan on running a ford 9" eventually, but in the...

i have access to connector views but not sure if us ecus will be the same

I take that back drove the cressida to the shop and the e solenoid got super hot so i removed it so it didnt smoke the ecu. Guess im just livin with the trans codes till i get a standalone ecu

So i checked it out this morning and solenoids a and b are the affected circuits by the resistors . I grounded one side of the lead with my test leads and the other side was in the pins of the connectors and as soon as i started it up it would smoke. Solenoid e lockup is fine tho . Also there...

This is a non vvti engine. Its a 90 long block with pre vvti obd2 eletronics. Also. One of the resistors smoked yesterday so im going back to the drawing board
