    Alright, a little electrical hiccup? SOLVED

    You have continuity from B+ to the small wire on the starter. Pull out the EWD and see where. My guess is the aftermarket garbage on the car, or it wasn't wired correctly. Check the amount of fluid in the brake resevoir. The pump is running correctly. You do not get power to the pump unless the...

    Greddy TD06 turbo questions

    Would you consider other turbos that are bolt on and will get that power level? I don't have one, but the JT series looks good. From what I have read here from owners. My Boss Jr will do it, but it isn't being made anymore. Then you don't have to worry about oil and coolant lines.

    If it drives normal unplugged, you have a control problem and not a trans problem. In other words, the solenoids in the valve body are not in control. You have to find out why. No comment on the noise, yet. But know that pumps low on fluid, or out of spec clearance wise make whining noises. Or...

    Another no start issue;fuel,timing but no spark?

    You can't have fuel injection without spark. Best case scenario is the pump runs when the STA signal is a go. Then it shuts off without the pickup. I think injection is temporary with the STA signal. I am looking for it. I just don't deal with this on a daily basis anymore. Did you pull a...

    Walbro fuel pump upgrade - is 12V mod required?

    If you know the amp draw of the pump, you will know what you need for resistors. For example, 3P using basic math came up with 2 stockers parallel to run the JZA80 pump.

    military generator turbo

    You are a pathetic thief, and I don't believe you that the Chief said it was ok to take something that is being turned in. It is turned in for a reason. Sorry about the thread, but this irks me. The other poster is right. All the Americans here have to pay for another one when that could have...

    Toyota still sells them new, and the spring. Get both.

    Sure will. But a replica with the adjustment screw will work better. My replica from LIPP is a very nice piece.

    The reason I don't know if it is a torque converter is you are simply a typical human. Not your fault. You said it feels like it is taking off in 3rd. Yet you also say shudder in 1st and 2nd. It can't be both unless the corverter is bad and you are describing how first gear feels. And you didn't...

    7M-GTE Timing Belt Loose After 2nd Gear Pull - not broken

    To add to chips post, as it ages, the spring needs to be checked for length and replaced when it is too long to prevent the slipping you describe.

    lexus afm question

    Yes, you can use the Lex meter. The car will run better with it, unless you have a bunch of problems to start with. You do need those 550's.

    Are you going to unplug the range selector and see how it drives? I take it from your post that is the plan. If there isn't a change, it is in your rebuild. If it drives normal, the solenoids are not hooked up right in some way. Specifically it is solenoid number one that is off when it needs to...

    Getting more 7M revs...

    It isn't the crankshaft. Exactly. I would have thought the BBC inner was a more common upgrade.
