My hood struts/shocks are fairly new and put some extra pressure on my new carbon fiber hood. Has anyone found an off-the-shelf equivalent that fits well, but doesn't have as much "push?" If not, has anyone done/used something similar to the one that MVP has for the MKIV? With a bracket "at...

I had a similar issue when the engine harness was not "hung" properly along the injectors, after a HG fix, and made contact with the intake/plenum. Car shut off out of nowhere, blowing the AM1 fuse. Basically burned a few wires and would blow the main fuses, whenever I tried to use the...

BTW, going 2JZ-GE is a nice, less-expensive option. A 2JZ GE "running" engine can be had for less than $500. Making it fit is similar to the TT, except a TT engine set is ~$1500. You get ~230 HP (same as 7M turbo) and you get to take your time to either NA-T, or replace the head (and...

Best is just determined by the amount of $$ you have and reachable goals. Both engines work fine. The 7M will cost $$ to address "flaws," and the 2J will cost $$ because of swap costs/work. If the 7M is still running, I'd keep it while I collect 2J swap parts over time. When the time comes...

Still? Really? I am very familiar with running new circuits for the signals still needed after my 2JZ swap. I have done several 1JZ/2JZ to MKIII wiring harnesses. The signals which are necessary remain and I am very aware of the "proper" way to fix, if you want to retain factory...

Not masked. Problem with anything stock, between the 2 end points in the pic in post #203, have been removed from the equation (replaced by newer components, along a different route/path).

It's working right now. If it is the root cause, it's not behaving like it. If the circuit fails again, that is where I will start. I do happen to have several spare/used switches available, if needed. This is what I did... Maybe a visual will help. Let's stop arguing... If someone wants...

...isolated the issue to the Starting circuit. Used the Starting (7M-GE) & Starting (7M-GTE) info, in the Electrical Wiring Diagram section of the TRSM. :icon_bigg

Trivial circuit with old HW. Have U been reading the thread? From the beginning? We all agree on the "book" answer (you just repeated it for the kajillionth time). Please read post #191. I am not doing the mod, as described here. I have replaced most of the circuit and it is done (it is...

My problem is at/before the stock relay. I did this mod (30-Amp-Starter-Relay-Mod) and it worked fine, but when I relocated near the ECU, it kinda stopped working after awhile. I suspect some of the circuit/wiring is bad (less than optimal performance) in that area. Shortened the run of the...

I did temporarily rewire the circuit, awaiting the arrival of the distribution block (hopefully today). My starter has less than a couple hundred miles. I ran a wire from the Ignition switch (ST1) through the speedo cable hole, to a relay, to the starter. Grounded the relay to the...

I gotcha (I got it many pages ago, in this thread). All I am saying or have said, is that I plan to replace most of the wiring/circuit anyways... was just something I already planned to do. It may not solve the issue, but it will address 90% of what it may have been and I want that "comfort"...

Okay... I guess my point has been missed. :-/ I will have $30 into new wire, distribution block, and relay to starter. Maybe 60-90 minutes, including beer-breaks. My starter is "new-ish." Replaced about 10 months ago, when I thought it was the issue.

... Not arguing, just a counterpoint. Replace entire span of ~20 year old wire, or find the break and hope it doesn't break again somewhere else, (or be corroded) elsewhere in the circuit. Sometimes the same time to troubleshoot is way-more, than the same time to replace and be sure. I...

I've chased it and resolved in several other MKIIIs. Just seems to be a ghost issue in my current one :-/ If it helps, my foglights don't work after the foglight mod, even when I returned things to stock (fuses are good). There're definitely gremlins in my sheeyat. Easier for me to go...

You would have to remove the dash... the source-target harness needs to be for the same trim/year/model. The mid/pre 89 has different connectors than the 89+, like where the doors/rear body harnesses connect to. If you have a 91 turbo/auto chassis, get the 89+ turbo/auto harness. If you...

...But By using the power/signal wire that goes to the stock relay (TRSM Page ST-12), you would then bypass the stock relay and associated wiring (pay attention if using stock alarm). You would use the signal/wire coming from the ignition switch (ST1). This mod uses the signal/output of the...

Thanks for resurrecting this. I am in the process of recharging the A/C system now (after the latest rebuild). The old Aristo compressor locked up and I got a new one. Other than that, system has been as cold as I like (unless sitting in Texas 100+ degree Sun for 8+ hours... Then it takes...

The parallel flow condensor I got from American fit perfect. Do not go with the stock/serpentine design. Parallel flow is more efficient (especially for R134). Search for "Operation chill".... Been awhile, but I used a PF condensor (American made a one-off for me, then started to keep more...

Me neither... Mine is all gouged up. I plan to have painted in the Fall possibly.
