Hey Zuffen, thanks for the reply. I went to the mechanic and he said "I don't know what is leaking, the pump or just the hose, blahblah, it will cost lots to remove it to check". The cost of this, is the same cost of just converting to electric. I'm thinking I will have to go electric...

Zero really. They are 30 years old, they are knackered. A brand new one is like $130 online. Maybe try $50 each?

I found a set of Supra coilovers for $200 on the internet. Fit good, although a little low perhaps. (90mm? from road to car?) Soarer UZZ31.

Still wondering what the issue could be? I have recently found out I have a hydro fan leak...

Just had mine done - took 2 hours in total. 1. Remove engine top covers. 2. Move injectors out way. 3. Undo intake manifold - 2 pieces. 4. Can now access starter. The bolts holding the thing on go through backwards, the heads are against rear of bay, so you need a crowfoot wrench with...

I believe it is behind trim - when sitting in car, rear right, above passenger rear seat. Did you fix it? I noticed you posted this months ago.

Sounds like something is clogged. IACV is a good place to start. Power steering leak is another. Vacuum/idle = related. It is now October 30th, did you fix your issue?

Engine diagnostic check. Car has onboard diagnostic system. Could be a timing belt put on wrong, ignition coils, plugs, etc. If ECU has been spliced, perhaps he tried to replace caps already and was a dunce so used wrong ones? Google "All my crazy lexus issues solved".

Issue could be the 2nd solenoid in the transmission. Almost EVERY 1uz/A34 gearbox combo has this problem after the 20 year old mark that I've seen. In drive gear: Car takes off in 1st, misses 2nd and selects 3rd, then goes into OD. May not kick down to 1st again. If manually shifting the...

Hi guys, I have an issue. The 1UZ Soarer hydro fan seems to be leaking from somewhere... It appears the hose clamps may be bad on the pump outlets as that's where the gunk is but I cannot see the problem properly so the car is booked in on the 11th to be checked. I suspect a failed pump...

That's good info! The fuel pump not working issue happened with the UZZ31 (29) ECU, and that is why it now has a (31) crown ECU (or something). The ECU looked good to me aside from bad caps, but I was told it was bad and to swap with his one. I may have been scammed seeing as how this fuel...

Fuel ECU is still plugged in, but the cable from the battery in engine bay (to switch in cabin, then to fuel pump in back seat) provides 12v and allows the car to fire and idle. So the wire from battery bypasses relays or what not, providing power straight to fuel pump as I understand. Now...

Hey guys, I had my car not cranking for a while due to the starter wire melting, and in that time I had a mechanic take the covers under the steering wheel off to test the ignition and everything. Right now everything underneath the steering wheel (ignition) is hanging down supported by the...

I am using BKR6E-11 NGK spark plugs in my 1uzfe (1991 UZZ31 JDM Soarer). They claim to last 25,000 miles. I feel the car performs better than with iridium and double platinum plugs. Anyone that needs a plug change might want to check these out. It should also be noted that race cars use...

:) - Took long enough!

Hey thanks Numbchux. I'll buy a meter today and check, but from memory a while back there was no +B, or +B was half the voltage? I may be wrong. I have swapped 3 ECU's, all have same symptom. +B and FP doesnt let fuel pump run. Only wire from battery does. Fuel pump is original to my...

Hi again guys, I have another problem with my UZZ31 if you could lend some advice. Here's the issue: (Updated). One day the car refused to fire. Cranks but won't fire. No fuel delivery. Swapping the main relay with the dimmer relay does nothing. Other fuses seem good in engine bay... Applying...

Hi guys, thanks for all the help, sorry for the delay, some real life issues got in the way and so on. Turns out Lube Mobile (the arsehole) didn't put the wire on correctly to the starter, and it melted during the test drive. Probably on purpose as he was called back multiple times due to his...

I also had a brainfart moment... When you crank a car, all power is sent to the starter and the lights and stuff on the dash turn off to allow it to crank for that split second. So, the lights and everything are fine on my car, it's just that nothing happens when I turn the key to crank it...

Nothing I've done (as listed above) has gotten power to the starter to crank the car. Mechanic is arriving on Monday to check the issue. Hopefully it'l be sorted! Also, might be selling a Soarer as once it is fixed, I refuse to work on it again. PM if interested, lol. Located in Australia.
