Airflow meter troubles

[Yakuza Cruiser]

Hey all,

I have been installing a 1uz-fe into my '79 MX41 Cressida and its almost complete apart from the plug for the airflow meter aint matching..

I bought the engine as a complete package which I'm told was a direct import from Japan yes the airflow plug from engine and airflow plug on the airflow meter aint matching.

Plug from engine. Looks like an igniter plug but it can't be.

Plug shown against the plug from the airflow meter.

Do I have the wrong airflow meter on there? Any thoughts?

That's the right AFM for the early model 1UZs. There are two ignitors on the 1UZ, have you got both and are they plugged in?

 

[Yakuza Cruiser]

Yep! both igniters are plugged in and ready to go. Just that damn airflow meter aint matching up with the one and only plug thats left.

looks like the newer style hot wire afm from, a 95-97 ls 400 will work same as my plug

Cheers for the tip mate,

Luckily I did find the right airflow meter for the engine. Turns out the later model 98 engines have this crazy round plastic airflow meter. Found one, bought it then it hooked straight up.

I got the car back yesterday and is fully go.

Its amazingly overpowered now. I'll only ever use 1st gear if I'm going to do some silly business in it.

Just needs a bit of panel and paint and it should be as good as new! Choice!

I'm jealous..... what was in a 79 cressida for an engine oem? All the old toyotas here are rusted away...only a coulpe 80's celicas/ supras left.. no coronas or cressiadas or anything cool.

Damn yet another problem.. Only after a few days of driving too.

This belt is making a hell of a racket.

The location of it is circled in red.

Anyone know what it is and why its making a weird squeeling/screetching noise? Easy fix? Cheers.

That is the timing belt, not the easiest thing to replace.

timing belt looks shagged and the squealing is probably one of the idler pulleys. do it before it breaks

pays to do belt, idlers, tensioner, water pump and seals all at once. then you know its good and dont have to go back in there for another 100,000kms. and toyota has all the parts cheaper than you`d think.
2 door cressida must be a rare car, dont think ive ever seen one!
