What Poodles said. I just wanted to make sure it was confirmed as the problem. Fwiw I think you did great getting as far as you did the way you did. If you would like to try a repair the odds are it's the transistor. If you know which one it is (follow pin 18 to find out) try replacing with any...

According to the next page it won't on a GE because the fuel pump circuit will be open. Technically that's not quite true though. In reality the engine should fire because the switch is bypassed during cranking but will stop as soon as the key is released. It boils down to Toyota's definition of...

Which pins are you shorting on the tail light relay to make them work? And what happens when you connect pins 2 and 18 together on the IR 2 connector with the IR relay out? What happens when you short pin 13 to ground with it in?

Amoebas also apparently don't have a clue about EFI systems or how to do electrical testing. Yes, the switch is controlled by the vane. Just to be clear I never said the root cause of his problem is the AFM, just that he's so tunnel visioned on it I was stating how the air flow part could be...

What's getting annoying is my giving you advice and you being too stupid to follow it. Perhaps you missed that part where I said a no start on these cars is one of the easiest problems to solve. As for working on cars non-stop for 10 years your "support thread" is filled with post after post...

As we say in my line of work, buh-bye...

Each coil pack should have 12 volts to it with the key on. And fwiw a missing ground on the bracket will not prevent the engine from starting. It's there for other reasons and serves no purpose in generating spark.

If that were only true...

Lol, that could be a problem alright. OT: Picture an inductively coupled pulsed plasma in a quartz tube with cat attached to the end. Other cat end goes though a poppet valve into an inertial trap and then to a fomblin filled rotary vane with blower. Capacitance manometers at either end with...

You do of late seem to be pretty cranky Frank. What's up with that? I certainly understand how the mass quantities of stupidity displayed here on a daily basis can be irritating but you must learn to ignore it as best you can. I didn't get involved because yours is such a simple problem I...

Justin: All that happens pretty quickly and then fueling is resumed. Some engines get a burble or slight pop if things aren't set up just right. Sounds as if everything on yours is though. Quin: ;)

1) With the meter across the injector it would show a fast pulse *if* you had a meter good enough to see it. One with a frequency function. Most Flukes worthy of the name will. 2) With the meter referenced to ground you should indeed see +12 on the positive side of the injector. It won't be...

It enters through the check valve in the cap. That said usage of the word "vented" is not quite correct in this context. Btw you're right: all new big rigs have cats these days. In fact it's now the law. I know because I'm a consultant involved with developing a new method of plasma cleaning...

Simply because injection is halted doesn't mean there isn't any fuel. A bit is left over. It's the reason you have a dashpot, to allow air through to burn that left over fuel and prevent a spike of HC. That's what you're hearing.

Dan: Everything I said refers to how decel cut normally operates, not when doing the TSRM test. Stop being an idiot. I'm not stating opinion, I'm stating facts based on factory documentation backed up by metrology. Measuring what happens under these conditions may be far beyond your...

Depends on the light. Regardless, it's a poor way to test for parasitic drain..

Sigh. Or he could test it the way I said. There's nothing tricky about these things at all. Put a damn meter between ground and Vs and with the key on push the vane from full closed to full open and note the voltage. If he's smart he'll measure at the ECU connector. I swear, it's like talking to...

Cranking vacuum can be measured by installing a vacuum gage on the manifold, pulling the EFI fuse, and cranking. Leave the throttle closed when doing it. The vane afm is nothing more than a potentiometer that supplies 0 to 5 volts between E1 and Vs. It also includes a thermistor for measuring...

Integration Relay 2 is located in the area behind the fog light switch panel. Square box about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Blue in color iirc. It's connector I-12 here: http://tinyurl.com/3nz35s Also here, labeled as "light retractor relay": http://tinyurl.com/3rbfz6
