Ok been a while since i've posted in this thread but I've figured something out and wanted to see if I was just stupid or maybe found my real problem. My car wouldn't start today after driving it about 7mi. Shutting it off for about 25min. then starting it up just to have it die after about 5...

I've been having the same problem as you. Not starting sometimes. Well i've tested all kinds of stuff. It did the same thing to me today and threw no engine codes. So I got to thinking and I thought just maybe my AFM is not getting the right signal or maybe somethings wrong with it. So I pulled...

I remember seeing you in Springfield. Nice car.

Well I went out and tested wires for conitnuity per TSRM. I was checking the IDL signal on the ECU and wasn't getting anything; but then again I didn't really know what I was doing. I plugged the ECU back in and just for the hell of it I reached over and cranked the car and it started. Still...

Ok so I fixed my sputtering problem by switching out the TPS again for the second time. Well I got gas the other day and started my car up and pulled to the intersection to pull out and it dies in the intersection. So I crank and crank and crank to no avail. I then push my car off to the side...

Sorry; ya gotta remember i'm only 19:3d_frown: and still learning. Thanks Bill.

Are you talking about the Oil filter itself? Or what the filter attaches to?

I think my problem with losing oil pressure is coming from leaky valve stem seals. So i'm actually losing oil; prolly not the 10W-30's fault. My fault for not having a valve job done.

Last time I check fluid levels they were normal but I will check them again. Will check Kickdown cable this weekend when I'm installing my new exhaust. Thanks Bill.

Ok so not to long ago I was having problems with a faulty TPS. Well I got that fixed and about a week after that my car just suddenly started going high in the rpm range in first gear at about 1/4 throttle; about 4000rpms. and would shift into second hard. When you WOT it will hit Redline and...

IDK about everyone else but I start losing oil pressure at about 3k miles. Maybe somethings wrong too? Using Castrol High Mileage 10W30 non-synthetic.

I fixed my boost leaks and that didn't change anything. I got to talking with one of my buddies who works at O'Reily's where I got my New TPS from. He said come by and swap it out with another new one b/c he's seen bad ones come through before. So I stopped in swapped out the TPS's and now...

I'll fix my boost leaks and let you know what happens. Thanks Bill.

Checked codes again tonight. And could not pull any. Still stumbling while driving and now sometimes it will idle rough and die. Gonna try a new TPS again on Friday. If that doesn't work guess I'm gonna buy an OEM one from toyota and if that don't fix it I'm not sure what i'm gonna do. Thanks Bill.

Ok so I lost the bottom screw to the TPS. I went to Home Depot and bought some hex head bolts to replace them. Got it tightened and restarted the car. The cut out is now not as noticeable but still there. Checked codes again and there are none. So is my TPS out of adjustment?? Thanks Bill.

Ok so I jumpered my TPS plug in E2 and VTA and read my codes and came out with this. 22,24,34,41,51. Then I plugged the TPS back in and had all but the code 51. So is the 22 and 24 coming from the fact that I had my TPS unplugged? And what about the code 51 going away after replugging in the...

JJ I found one of your old articles on the forums about adjusting the TPS. Could this help out my situation also?

Ok so I took a reading again and using the TSRM as a guide I'm assuming the two gold connectors are VTA and E2. (This is with the key in the on position.) With my mulitmeter set at 20 in the Vdc range I got a reading of 1.13 on the gold connectors. The other connectors which are silver the...

Ok I searched and found the TPS portion of the TSRM. And i'm 99% positive I screwed it up. So now I'm gonna have to make some more readings. I'm gonna go outside of my work right now and check it.

When you said E2 were you specifying the port on the diagnositcs box or one of the terminals on the TPS plug. I put my Mulitmeter set to 200m in the V/DC range. (May not have been correct to put it there). I had two blue wires with a red stripe on them. One was on the center connector of the ECU...
