    Failed smog test

    Car is running very rich (A/F 12.2:1). Clearly not in closed loop fuel control. Could be a bunch of things. I'd start with checking a few easy things like the thermostat and ECU coolant temp sensor. If the thermo is stuck open it will be in cold enrichment. Does your temp gauge read low...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    I've pulled the data from LordDigital's Techtom ECU. The data is encrypted (as we knew) but the encryption looks like it might be as simple as just scrambling the address lines. More to come on this one shortly.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    The main issue we have is that the CPLD I/O expander chip needs more than 100mA of current at startup, which is more than the ECU power supply can handle, causing it to shutdown the entire ECU. We are putting a separate 5V supply on the board so that the ECU power supply is not loaded. Here...

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Quite a bit going on behind the scenes here. Jon Sole, a UK MR2 owner has been working with me to move this project along. He has recently demonstrated his 3SGTE ECU working with external ROM using a bunch of technology recently developed: 1) Firmware (VHDL code) has been written for an FPGA...

    starter removal tips?

    Remove alternator and run a long extension from the front all the way to the starter.

    CPS Causing miss

    Then I'd say the CPS is not your source of the problem. You can test it by hooking it up on the scope and spinning it. Should get at least 20V peak to peak at 3000 rpm.

    CPS Causing miss

    Looks like the pickups were replaced and the CPS rebuilt, or its nearly brand new. Did you get measurements for the gaps? Also, is the top reluctor flush with the top of the G1/G2 pickups?

    what are the symptoms of a boost leak and other questions? (NOW WITH CODES)

    No one is responding because you can find it easily enough in the TSRM. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=101

    smog fail

    You are running lean, which is obvious from the O2 numbers. Your A/F at 15mph is 15.1:1, and at 25mph its 15.0:1. I would look for an air leak, and also makes sure the Ox sensor is cross counting to spec. I assume the check engine light is not on and there are no stored codes.

    Old Topic it seems: EFI fuse keeps blowing

    Could be, try jumpering pins FP and B+ at the diagnostics box and see if the fuse blows with the pump and FPU relay disconnected. I still think the relay being bad is unlikely, but this could be that one time it is bad.

    Old Topic it seems: EFI fuse keeps blowing

    Yes, that is the fuel pressure up (FPU) relay. The COR plugs into a relay board and looks quite different. When you pull that relay you are breaking the fuel pump circuit. It is unlikely the relay is bad (do the checks I suggested, sorry about the 5 pin mixup, its 4 pins). Most likely the...

    CPS wiring for a standalone EMS

    Actually, Toyota ECU uses G1 for TDC#6, but the definition is completely arbitrary, it can be used successfully for either. The ECU uses STA to run specific cranking routines in the code. IGSW is used to signal the ECU to commit suicide and turn itself off, as well as kill power to the fuel...

    Old Topic it seems: EFI fuse keeps blowing

    To be clear, we are talking about the fuel pump control relay (L) and not the circuit opening relay as shown in link below. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TEWD/MK3/manual.aspx?S=Main&P=46 If so, its just a simple SPDT relay, so easy to test. I would start by measuring resistance...

    If you rotate the pipe flange 180 degrees, does it then fit properly to the housing?

    Oil in coolant but no coolant in oil??? Again :(.....

    Maybe I'm missing something, but this test is for combustion gases in the coolant. If there is a leak between the oil system and the coolant, this test will always be negative.

    Old Topic it seems: EFI fuse keeps blowing

    You will need to troubleshoot the fuel pump wiring, but at least you are narrowing down the problem. I would start by disconnecting the FPU relay and resistor on the passenger side fender, then retest. If it still shorts then you will need to disconnect the connector to the fuel pump at the...
