This is amazing work here, guys! 3p141592654, what do you plan to do with all the information you've gathered? Originally you mentioned the purpose of the thread was the publish maps and algorithms of the ECU and I know bits and pieces are mentioned throughout the thread but I was wondering if...

It RUNS!!! But I'm not sure why. I lined up the cam marks, checked the CPS and it was positioned the same as the picture above (so it was always set correctly). Running out of ideas, I unplugged my cold start injector (or actually, just left it disconnected from when I did the spark test) and...

Ok, I will do that. So if when I take the cover off, the marks on the cam gears match up with the notches at the top, and my CPS is as shown in the picture, then my timing is correct?

I went though all my cylinders - all compression is okay, all are sparking, all gaps are 0.8mm. So there goes my valve theory. I still don't know about that igniter. So is there a way to tell if my timing is 180 deg off?

Thanks for all the input everyone. Going with the ignition theme, I set the engine to TDC per the TSRM (IG-21) and looked at my CPS. It looks about the same as what is in this thread but mine is advanced 10 degrees already. Here is a picture of what mine looks like: That is correct (ie not...

Today I tried a few more things. I checked the TPS at the ECU connector and everything read well within spec. I hit the throttle a few times (with the car off) and while watching the readings and it behaved as expected. So, probably not TPS. Is it worth it to try disconnect the TPS and see if it...

Thanks for the tips. I will do the air pressure test again tomorrow following those suggestions. I don't think the CPS would be 180 degrees off. I followed the TSRM to a T in setting it. Plus I don't see how it would run so well the first time if it was 180 deg off. I'm kind of thinking/hoping...

I hoping I can get a few ideas here as to what is wrong. Here is my story: Yesterday I finally got my rebuild ready to fire up. It was turning over but wasn't starting. After checking my codes I had a 51 and a 41... TPS. I adjusted my TPS, cleared my codes, and tried again. VAROOM! :biglaugh...

I'd like to add, if I may, that it is a very very good idea to fuse the line right near the positive battery terminal. Even if the relay has a built-in fuse, if the relay is near the starter I'd say that's too far away. If the positive line loses its insulation for any reason (pinching, cut or...

Has this been done by anyone yet? It looks very interesting.

Any big or planned purchases are from Champion, for sure. But I'm trying to get my engine back together here and I didn't want to wait 2 weeks for these bits. I thought they would be included in the gasket set I bought but there were no grommets and the insulators were dirty and looked used...

I just spent $60 on insulators and grommets for 6 injectors. $4.80 a piece for each. Is that normal? Why can't there be a Champion Toyota where I live.

Any idea where I might find a 3/4" die? I checked the local hardware store and the biggest they have is 1/2".

Been a while but I finally had a chance to try out the GlowShift oil filter sandwich plate for adding sensors. Here are some pics. The quality of the unit looks very well made. Feels solid. Smooth edges. But there seems to be a problem with the thread insert. I can't get it to...
