That was a joke. Hopefully it's just a cooling system issue like an old inefficient radiator. But, it could be... ::bhg::

Used a 3" holesaw and cut holes for the IC piping. I used DM's 1JZ intercooler and it was like it was made for the Cressida. Exactly what I needed. Waiting on IC piping and a 2.75-2.5" coupler for the drivers side. Relocated the battery to the trunk and used a Tsunami distribution block up...

Wait until it acts up and then listen to the suspect injector through a piece of hose. Wiring harness old and brittle or still good?

Started up my 1JZ today and it wouldn't idle. Runs perfectly otherwise but dies when I let off the gas. Took off the ISCV and it's fully closed. The connector has power to the center pins with the ignition on. Safe to say the valve is stuck closed? Anyway to fix it or do I have to find another?

The 1JZ was $1550 + $350 shipping from Canada. Included ignitor, ecu, harness, auto trans, compression test, and it was in great shape. Wiring it up wasn't too bad besides that JZX90 1JZ body harness pinouts are impossible to find anywhere online. Once I got that figured out, it only takes +12v...

It's pretty clean and rust free, just has a couple small dents in the drivers side.

Welcome from a fellow Oregonian and Cressida owner! We can help you out but will need to know what engine is in your Cress! 5M?

Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited to drive it since I've never driven or even ridden in a Cressida before. Same goes for the 1JZ.

Got my seats in Switch panel and gauges in

Got my seat brackets for Xcessive MFG. Filled the R154 with MT90. It lines up good! Did some quick wiring and after a little trouble with the fuel pump wiring it started right up and ran perfectly. So relieved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYlvBanU6-c

It was the dumbest thing ever... Had polarity reversed on the hard wired fuel pump. I guess the gas smell was old fuel in the rail and a little oil on the plugs. Fired right up and ran great. Thanks for the help hvyman.

I drained the tank and refilled with fresh gas, and used a good battery. No start. On one coil wire I'm getting 12v and on the other side 7v. As far as I've read the other side shouldn't have any power. What could cause that?

So I was checking for power at the coils wrong. I do have coil power. However my battery only has 9.5 volts! I'm going to try a fresh battery and fresh gas (gas was very old) and see what happens.

No, I'm not very good with wiring honestly. How do I do that? No, just have the bare minimum right now to try and hear the engine run.

Tried to start my jzx90 1JZ swap in my mx83 Cressida today with no luck. I've hard wired everything as it's going to be a track only car with a switch panel. I hooked up 12V to +B, +B1, BATT, and IGSW, and the two large black/yellow and black/red wires and small black/yellow wire on the body...

I installed the radiator, fans, hoses, intake, and downpipe. This is where I'm at right now, I'll update as I make more progress.

The parts started coming in. I'm using an oem flywheel and an F1 Racing 6 puck. A few guys at the track told me these clutches work great for the price. After pulling the R154 from the Supra and a LOT of beating the trans tunnel with a sledge hammer I was ready to attempt to drop the...

Pulled the 7M out one morning. Started tearing into it with an electric impact and had it out in an hour. Tore the Cressida 7M down and found this. Started tearing into the 1JZ. Installed a new 2JZ water pump, new timing belt, DM aluminum pulley set, serpentine belt and tensioner...

I started working on the Cressida, pulled all the interior. The car was full of dead rats and was totally disgusting inside. It took a lot of scrubbing every inch of the bare shell for the smell to go away. I removed the deadening with dry ice, scuffed and primered the interior. Installed...

This is a build log for my 90 Cressida. The story starts with my Supra. It had a rebuilt 7M, lex/550's, 57 trim, the usual mods. The car ran great but it wasn't long until I had a broken ringland on the NPR pistons. NPR pistons are junk. Never use them. I was burned out on working on the...
