    Failed smog test

    42 - Speed sensor. It's in the speedo...is your speedo working? 43 - STA is the starter signal to the ECU. It's used to activate start parameters for the engine. Did someone do the starter relay "mod" on this engine? 51 - IDL signal for the TPS...tells the ECU when the TB is closed and...

    low oil pressure

    It's best to use the stock pressure sender location. For a temp sensor, a T on the return line to the block is fine. Keep something in mind about shimming the filter relief valve for the cooler: Higher pressure is required for oil to flow through the cooler circuit...this means you will...

    Mystery Tap/knock. Video, can you identify?

    Not likely it's the pump, but it could be the drive gear/shaft. Check your oil pressure with an external mechanical gauge at the sender location. If the noise is still there after running with no accessories, you know it's in the engine. If it disappears, add the belts on one at a time...

    Mystery Tap/knock. Video, can you identify?

    Have you removed the accessory drive belts and run it?

    High Idle most of the time

    Codes 41 and 51 are likely related...both are the TPS. Either the TPS is bad, the connector is bad, or the wiring to the ECU is bad. Code 43 is likely related to the "starter mod" the PO did. The ECU needs an STA signal from the starter to activate fuel parameters for start.

    Sterrin wheel

    You mean "steering wheel" right? ;) Plus, what does this have to do about a tech subject for the 7M-GTE engine? Pay attention to where you post...thread moved.

    If you change the screen/fluid, you might want to read this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3179 I use Castrol Import ATF (Dex III) in mine. If you do the change per the link above, you'll need 10 quarts.

    Disc freeze plug under the timing cover.

    Sizes of the freeze plugs vary a bit...the OD of the plug I have is 40.39mm. Makes sense for a press fit in a 40mm hole. Here's the dimensions: A = 36.8mm B = 40.3mm C = 45.7mm D = 6.5mm E = 3.4mm F = 6.6mm Be careful on the A dimension, you do not want it too tight. When the plug...

    N/A AFM work on a turbo 7M?

    I'm assuming you are using a Turbo ECU & harness as well.

    What to expect from a JDM CT-26 (life not power)

    Considering the way the seal/bearing is made, not a lot to go wrong unless there's excessive wear. Assuming that the wheels are in good shape and are balanced. Side-to-side shaft play is the killer. Rust on the internal shaft would be my concern...fill the oil passage with PB Blaster and let...

    Disc freeze plug under the timing cover.

    And then there's the genius that thinks running a JDM tyte high pressure cap is a good idea :nono:

    Disc freeze plug under the timing cover.

    The cap does regulate pressure....it's spec'ed at 10.7-14.9 psi. It's plenty to force out an improperly installed plug.

    OMG! Shaking CPS wires works! lol

    Might apply to a guy who doesn't understand how it functions...works great for me ;)

    Disc freeze plug under the timing cover.

    A freeze plug is a press fit...the diameter of the plug is slightly larger than the hole in the block. The machined sealing surface in the block is recessed a bit...some more than others. If you look at the installed plug, the lip should be even with the machined surface...if the plug is intoo...
