Thank you 3p. Exactly correct. It appears "The Asshole" not only lives up to his handle but knows squat about emissions in general and California rules in particular. Readers would do well to ignore any future advice he has to offer. People like him can't be helped. Not to mention he comes...

That'll work but be careful. Best to fuse the jumper. Couple of amps at the source end will do. As for test lights they have their place but a meter is better especially when dealing with ECU stuff. Sticking with you because of the effort you're making. Not writing like a 10 year old also...

A bad connection upstream. Maybe the IGN switch or IGN fuse: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=036 Need 12 volts on IGSW for M-Rel to turn on and have the EFI relay supply +B. You could try bringing 12 vdc to IGSW directly to see if everything else...

Why would you think the ECU is bad as long as the above condition exits? Especially since that's the same circuit you've been having trouble with? After all, M-Rel will not be active until the IGSW condition is resolved.

As someone intimately familiar with emissions problems, California emissions regulations, and what it takes to become a "smog jockey" there I suggest you seek more qualified advice than has been offered thus far. I won't even address the "dream car" thing. Too funny...

Hmmm. I detect a little too much ego invested in carrying. WA state has no duty to inform. Therefore, unless being told to step out, you should remain quiet. That said having told him you should have flatly refused his request and asked how else he wanted to proceed.

No problem here. I'm not the one with a busted car...

Crack me up...

Because you want the thermostat to close and restrict flow...

It also resets the learned idle value. How different the engine runs thereafter depends on how screwed up it is. I think what Nick's saying is, generally speaking, resetting the ECU will not fix problems and if the engine in question does run differently it was a POS to begin with. Remember, the...

Bueller?

I meant technical aspects of the video itself were impossible to fake at the time, not what is seen in it. Crack me up. I bet some of you can't wait until Nov 22 :icon_razz

http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/ Should be all you need. Was for me and my timer was built from scratch.

Sure, you can be "that guy". Someone has to. Btw when I said we didn't have the technology to fake it I was referring to the video...

Nothing good technique with a quality meter can't solve...

A "previous owner" in the making. Why I crushed a near pristine car instead of selling it.
