    running condenser fans

    I ran it when I ran the A/C, because they didn't automatically come on. As you know. I wanted it on, to make me feel better. :)

    starts,runs, then wont restart till cool

    Clear your codes and then do it again. Does it restart if you shut it off, and then immediately restart? Or does it need to sit for 10 minutes to not restart until cool?

    The other end, both plugs. You should be able to use the plug body as refrence to where the wires go.

    running condenser fans

    I unplugged the sensor harness and put a toggle switch in place of the senor. The toggle switch was put in my space where TEMS would go if you had it. I did this to turn on my fans whenever I felt like it. I didn't leave them running when the car was off, but I almost always had it on during the...

    Auto trans problems after ge to gte swap. FIXED

    If you have a speed sensor problem, it will likely throw a code. Shifting is done with the speed sensor, that is correct. It replaces the govenor valve that forced and upshift. The TPS acts as the throttle valve that delays upshift and forces a downshift. TPS voltage on this car is usually not...

    7mgte head gasket torqueing using oem composite gasket and stock head bolts

    On one of Toyota's head gasket recall that I did when working there, we used a composite gasket and much more than 85 lb feet. It was the 4 Runner 3V-E. I think that was the engine code. Anyway, it got 33 lb/ft, the 1/4 turn and 1/4 turn. The 1/4 is done with a breaker bar, because it takes a...

    1987 7mge swapped to 1988 7mgte no spark no fuel

    I think I said 3-4 then 5-2 in the other thread instead of 5-2, 3-4. My mistake. I didn't look in the book, when you always need to look it up.

    OEM 7MGTE Intercooler VS Aftermarket FMIC

    He is in the Springs, but the track is in Denver (foothills) at a little lower elevation. And the turbo does fall short. Maybe an electronic controller will help, but the car does suffer at elevation. I promise. On a side note, I ran my old 5.0 at Club clash on Fridays 10-15 years ago...

    Coolant leaks out of the overflow

    Seems the hole is invisible. Your total posts don't add up, just so you know.

    OEM 7MGTE Intercooler VS Aftermarket FMIC

    Yes on elevation. A stock turbo just doesn't build a lot of cylilnder pressure compared to stock at elevation. Where in Colorado?

    igniter side wire colors

    Click on it to enlarge. I took a large picture. That subharness is probably a part of the ignitor assembly if you bought one. I am not sure, but Toyota wouldn't just leave that part off the EWD.

    1987 7mge swapped to 1988 7mgte no spark no fuel

    It isnt' as uncommmon as you think. Not everybody has a big inertia switch in the trunk like Ford did to shut the power to the pump when the car is in a wreck. The coil packs are from left to right 1-6, 3-4, 2-5.

    1987 7mge swapped to 1988 7mgte no spark no fuel

    The fuel pump will not ever run if the engine is not running or cranking. There is no priming of the pump on this system from Toyota when you put the key in the on position. Since you have dry spark plugs and the pump seems to run, can you hook up a fuel pressure guage? The turbo model has...

    igniter side wire colors

    I guess I am not following. The EWD shows wires in and out of the ignitor. You mean inside the ignitor?

    What year? You know the EWD shows the wires in their color.

    OEM 7MGTE Intercooler VS Aftermarket FMIC

    You increased the boost with a controller? I know you aren't saying the intercooler restriction raised pressure (because pressures is resistance to flow) and increased 50 hp. The stock unit besides being not as good as a Spearco core in terms of flow, heat soaks quickly. Sure it can make 400...

    How do you make headlights "wink"

    No, not flash to pass. He wants it to look like a malfunction, just like he said. He doesn't care how stupid it looks. That is why he said it. I wonder if he punches himself in the face so his eyelids are half shut. 'Cause that is cool too...

    Coolant leaks out of the overflow

    The top of what? The radiator or the resevoir?
