    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Just this week the pieces were put together to allow real-time tuning of the ECU as the engine runs. The interface is command line right now, but allows any location in memory to be adjusted including all tables, thresholds and settings, and the code too so you have to be careful or something...

    No injector pulse? help please!

    By the way, 22, 24 and 51 are what you get when nothing is connected to the ECU except power and grounds. How confident are you that the wiring is correct?

    Keyless push button start?

    That fingerprint sensor looks similar to the one on my laptop, which is not very reliable. I've gotten use to just swiping it right, but I still get plenty of false readings.

    Istrument cluster help?

    Your electrician friend has never seen a sender like this one, its pretty unique, so his advice will not be useful. 42 ohms is what you should read from the gauge wire to ground , as described here http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=BE&P=43 Then follow this...

    Pleaseeee helppp

    Assuming the TPS is setup properly, it will run up to 3k rpm without the AFM connected. It uses a 3 point fuel map to do this, and the STA and IDL inputs. It will definitely run. JJ made a video driving around the neighborhood with the AFM disconnected. Sometimes it takes a few starts to set...

    You will see a disclaimer that whatever thing they are selling is for "off road use only". It is then up to you to use it in the prescribed manner. If you choose to use it on-road, then get caught, well that's your problem.

    Strange electrical issue

    11.9V is a red flag right there, I'd say your spare is a dud too.

    LED Brake light should be banned agree or disagree?

    The brightness is an engineering decision, not something unique to the LEDs themselves. A 100W halogen stop bulb would be just as annoying.

    help changing steering rack ends

    By this, you won't regret it. http://www.harborfreight.com/inner-tie-rod-removal-set-96558.html You will need to grind one of the adapters to fit the supra nut, but this makes everything much easier. The claw washers need to be replaced, they are single use only. Without this wrench its...

    head was shaved too much off!

    That is probably the HKS sticker that HKS ships with their aftermarket exhausts. The stock engine is fine with regular fuel according to my owners manual, however for the OP now that his CR is higher he may want to consider it.

    Cutting out if I ease off the gas UPDATED, PLEASE HELP

    Block or pinch the hose to the idle speed control valve and see if it stalls (it should). If it doesn't your throttle body (or possibly pcv if its been modified) is letting too much air in. Make sure the throttle is is not gunked up and the plate is closing fully. You might also want to...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Someone asked me about how the fuel pump speed is controlled. Like everything else in this ECU, its not straightforward, but here's the rough outline ignoring some of the details. I have found the pump speed is controlled by a calculation that I describe as the fuel flow rate. It is the...

    I would not do anything involving cars without liability protection. An LLC is the simplest way to protect your assets. If you have partners, then get legal help to draw up the operating agreement. Doing it right at the start will save potentially huge issues later.
