Does anybody have an ISC(idle speed control) motor they want to sell me? I feel I have eliminated every other possibility except the ecu. Thanks Frank

The situation you describe is very likely to be a soft carbon build-up that is holding the valves slightly open. This was caused by the multiple cold starts with no warm up. This will also cause the ticking noise. It will also cause a strange cranking due to low/uneven compression. There are 2...

Thanks for the reply. I do not have the tools to check the data stream. I will look carefully at the things you have suggested and report back. Frank

Hello all I have a 93 4runner with a 91 ls400 installed. It has the auto trans. The problem I am having is I have little to no fast idle during cold start. Also, on a warm restart, the engine fires and dies. During either scenario, if I hold the throttle open slightly, it starts and runs fine...

16 or 14 gauge for most circuits. 18 gauge would work, but I feel you will have better results with 16 or 14 gauge. The bell housing bolts are the correct spot for the engine stand bolts. As far as tools, best answer is bring all your metric stuff. If you don't bring it, you will need it;)...

Hey Cebby Is there a hole drilled thru the side of the coupler? Doesn't the stock a340f coupler have a small hole in the side of the coupler? I ended up installing the a340f output shaft in my otherwise stock a341E. It is now ready to install in the 4runner. I have not made any other...

I do plan on using the 3.0 mounts. Marlins shop is a 2 hour drive for me. I think I will see them in person when I am ready for those parts. Frank

Yes, the radiator is in stock location. I am not sure if I will use the stock radiator or not. I am staying IFS for now also. I have an a340f from a 97 4runner in my shed. I am still trying to get an a341E. I want to go with a single case and 4.7 gears. Frank

The oil sump is resting full wieght on the steering linkage in the pic. The clearance at the rear of the right cylinder head is about 1/2 - 3/4". Due to the brake booster clearance, I think I will have to run a 1" body lift to get my steering linkage clearance. Both of the exhaust manifold...

Here are a few more:

Here are a few pics of the motor sitting in the engine bay.

I plan to use the lexus accessories. I will also be retaining a/c. I have made a lot of progress on the wiring schematics as far as identifying/confirming pinouts on the body connectors from the lexus harness. As you get closer, if I can be of any help, do not hesitate to ask. Frank

Hey there Cebby I am in California and am tackling the same swap as you. I also have a 3.0 auto 93 4runner. I am very interested in this thread and am very grateful for the excellent posting of info. Everybody on this board is so good about sharing info and pictures. I will try to do the same...
