It's not my intent to take anything away from what you've done teal. On the contrary. But what people "learn" from this is fleeting. What they learn for themselves will last a lifetime. Teach a man to fish and all that. "I wish Toyota would have taken every plug, like I did, and give you a...

I completely agree. Just that it's better not to have to rely on someone else. Besides, this stuff isn't exactly rocket science.

Good point :) I don't have a problem with him not knowing AC. The problem is him refusing to accept he doesn't know. That same attitude is what kept him from looking in the book to answer a simple question. Had he done that this thread wouldn't even exist...

Ah well, then you likely blew out a trace. Not something that typically happens but at least it's easily repairable.

Here's a better idea: learn how to read schematics. It works on anything and you won't need these kinds of crutches...

And you were right. I was talking about him. You know, the guy who might someday have a can of R12 blow up in his face...

The cover is the gasket.

Nah, you have other problems.

It happens Dev. I wouldn't be picky if you hadn't come such a long way. After all you're right most of the time and that needs to continue. You still have some pretty weird ideas about oil though :icon_razz

You're thinking of the fuel cut switch in the AFM of the 7M. In the GTE fuel cut off is done by the ECU through the Circuit Opening Relay when CPS pulses are lost. I agree things shouldn't be messed with unless they're understood. Especially safety related stuff. It's not only my nature but the...

Not sure I understand the question AJ. All it does it vent the regulator (disconnect it from the manifold and connect it atmosphere) for 90 seconds or so after the engine is started with hot coolant. In turn what that does is increase fuel pressure. The point is to help get rid of any vapor that...

You have it backwards. When active the valve vents (sends atmospheric pressure to) the regulator. When inactive the valve is open to the manifold. Put simply the valve is a normally open three-way that's plumbed to be fail safe for the normal (hot) operating condition of the engine. That's why...

Meh, it's ok. We've all been there. Besides, I thought you were talking about the lines. And yes, the ports are different. At least you have a clue. The other guy, not so much...

Huh? How is that possible? Both of you guys are scaring me...

You're an accident waiting to happen. Learn more about AC before you hurt yourself or someone else.

^ Say what? ;)

The only possible way that could have happened was if the EFI fuse got blown and I didn't see that mentioned in the first post. Even then the odds of the ECU being damaged are slim.

I'm not saying Toyota didn't put the VSV there for a reason or that you should yank it off but consider this: Except during the first 90 seconds after the engine has been hot started the valve is always dormant. After those 90 seconds it contributes nothing to how the engine runs whether...

Twisting the wires together would be very bad. Has to do with that solid current thing you mentioned...

He's right...
