What I find amusing is from what I read here in a lot of cases the current owner is the previous owner. The name and face are different but that's about it.

What, the EFI fuse? Sorry, doesn't work that way in spite of what many people believe. From what I see there isn't much wrong with your engine. Your WB on the other hand....

Ha! I was waiting for that. Colin: Damn, you made me go look. My car has never had a front plate. 20 years and never been stopped for it. It still has the factory screws there.

Maybe I'm confused but I thought the 550 thing got resolved early on in the thread. Snowman: Get the cruise part straightened out first. Open loop and WOT is a different story altogether.

That'll work. I believe TP Dye-Lite is the stuff sold on ebay. Use the universal dye for engine oil, PS, tranny, ect. Don't let anyone talk you into fancy UV lights either. Any cheap LED UV light will do as long as the wavelength is close. AC suppliers sell such lights. Even my Fenix L2D-CE (a...

http://tinyurl.com/2p447u You'll find the TRSM there too but if I were you I'd go buy a real one. CEL is check engine light. Even that term is incorrect these days but it's not important. After you find out what the code(s) are post 'em up and we'll help you out.

Retrieve the CEL from where ever it keeps getting thrown to and then check for codes. On the knock you'll have be more specific as to location and sound. Myself, I typically avoid buying engines that are making noise...

AC clutch and condenser fan.

It has nothing to do with you not knowing about the 7M and everything to do with you not knowing how engines work. I could easily tell you what your car's problem probably is but like many here I don't typically respond to posts where it's obvious the poster is clueless without excuse. If you...

Yes, a division of the actual a/f into perfect regardless of fuel used. If both are equal it's gonna be 1. One of my analyzers does lambda for multiple fuels. Propane, LNG, gasoline, etc. Nice to have but I've never used it for than than gasoline. WBs are nice but they still only measure one...

Oops, screwed that reply up. Yeah, what a difference a decimal point makes. There are a few online lambda calculators but my analyzer computes it for me. I have the actual formula for computing it using all 5 gases around here somewhere. Just looking at it makes my head spin ;)

That's funny. I'm not that familiar with the 2j so I don't know what kind of crank angle signals it uses, injection configuration, stuff like that. Still, it's a Toyota and if one looks at the ECU as simply a controller and wires it up right using compatible input signals and output actuators it...

Lambda is the only way to go. It's all I deal with when working with emissions and that's basically what this problem involves. The fuel smell is puzzling unless it's an actual fuel leak somewhere. He could try unplugging the O2 sensor. If the system is working right it'll default to slightly...

As simply as it is it's tough to do this over the internet. I have to rely on what you're seeing but it's been my experience time and again most people can't get the measurements down. It's sounds like you're doing it right though. The bottom line is at a steady RPM if the engine is in fuel...

No, that's good. It proves the engine is in fuel control and the mixture is near stoich, if a tad lean. Your WB is wrong. I'm guessing the engine doesn't show any signs of running at 7.5 a/f either ie; bad fuel economy, black smoke, fluffy black plugs and tailpipe.

Lol, wtf? Is that a 7MGE auto ecu running a 2j N/A motor? I dunno whether to shake my head or nod it in admiration. Off the top of my head I agree with Dirgle in that it should work if wired right but I still have to wonder about some things. Does it run OK?

No comment but assuming that were true I assure you it would not be the typical type of thing many people have heard about. International introduction is a sorry-ass business in many respects. I met my wife while working at Chornobyl. That said there's no question EE women are some of the finest...

Read the post. Forget Vf and look at the OX terminal. It's also there in the diagnostic connector.

Was in Latvia at the time and decide to visit with a friend. Been to most of that part of the world. My wife is Ukrainian, I have a summer home and business there. Spent a lot of time in Russia too. I'm somewhat fond of that part of the world. In many ways the people and culture put America to...
