    hazard switch wiring question.

    Lots of stuff out there. For example youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhOhPO0_04Y The TEWD and Autoshop101.com are also good. It's not that hard really. You want ground and power to reach the load. Most times the ground is brought directly to it. Once that's verified you start...

    ^ There ya go. OP: The TSRM and tech articles on autoshop101.com are good places to start.

    Want to confirm Oil Gauge proper readings..

    Level would be better. Not hard to do. Many cars have it. Fwiw an overtemp alarm can also be easily added using the AC fan switch. I had an older version of this on my car: http://www.insightavionics.com/g4single.htm The beauty is not only does it indicate but all the monitored functions have...

    Want to confirm Oil Gauge proper readings..

    It does not. At least not in the USDM models. You're confusing accuracy with resolution. They're not the same thing. And fwiw there are many graduations in the earlier instruments. Not that any of this matters because the stock gage works fine. Anything more is a waste of time because gages...

    I screwed up...Need some help

    Huh? Not true. The TPS needs to be set right to adjust timing but that's not the same thing. OP: It should be set fully closed. Remember, the idle in this engine is automatically controlled. The proper sequence for setting the TPS/TB/timing is: 1) Disconnect linkage/rod 2) Set throttle...

    hazard switch wiring question.

    Now would be as good a time to learn as any. Fortunately you're in luck: it's not rocket science.

    About to put a 7MGTE in my 87' Need Suggestions to Keep it Reliable

    There's nothing wrong with the engine. It was, after all, installed in Toyota's flagship. The most expensive and highest tech car they made at the time. The vast majority of its problems, as well as with the car itself, stem from incompetent owners.

    TPS Calibration

    Since you asked... Everything you wrote there along with everything you've done shows you don't understand what the TPS does nor how the EFI system works. That you think you know but don't is not the only place your "critical" thinking let you down. For example the TPS doesn't get calibrated...

    TPS Calibration

    Not saying you're stupid but it's obvious you have NFI what you're doing. Near zero critical thinking skills too.

    Maybe he should check to see what happens when the throttle is opened. Oh wait, that'd make way too much sense...

    hazard switch wiring question.

    Dunno wtf that is but if your hazards aren't working why not troubleshoot them directly? http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=070

    hazard switch wiring question.

    One of us is corn fuzed. There is no green with white wire that has anything to do with the hazards. In fact that schematic has nothing to do with the hazards.

    Don't get it. That wire has nothing to do with the hazards.

    TPS Calibration

    That procedure is needlessly complex among other flaws. Use the TSRM. It's also needlessly complex but less so: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=101

    Lexus afm and 550s

    He doesn't need a WB to determine mixture. How do you think cars were tuned/repaired before them? They're a relatively recent development you know. Few professional mechanics own one because there's no need.
