    coolant leak

    Would there be a problem with just plugging the hole in the back of the head and just running a soft line from the side of the block to the heater core(in a 4runner)? Does having that little bit of coolant run back there cool the rear of the head a little more? I'm not really familiar with how...

    coolant leak

    Never mind I figured it out, I does indeed connect in to the head. So out she comes I guess.

    coolant leak

    I have a coolant leak out of the back of the engine block, to remedy this i bypassed the banjo fitting on the back of the head and ran hose from the bottom heater pipe directly to the heater core. It still leaks though. Does the banjo bolt go into a water jacket in the head? The engine is...

    I didn't have the fuel pump wired correctly, the pump would turn on only while cranking once the key was let off the pump would quit. What threw me off was how long the engine would run without more fuel I got it to run for almost 30 seconds earlier today. I wouldn't have guessed that was...

    Problem Solved, it was indeed a fuel pump signal problem. It is amazing how long an engine can run without the fuel pump on, running on only the residual pressure from cranking over. thank you for your assistance

    starts great. runs for a few seconds. dies

    Jumping the fuel pump doesn't seem to make any difference. I was looking at the tsrm wiring diagrams and that would make sense I have actually bypassed the FC terminal of the AFM etc... Is it possible for an AFM to be bad and still check out okay with the resistance specs in the tsrm? Mine...

    You could have something with the ISC hose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order for the isc to pull the flapper far enough open it must have another source of air pulling from the accordion hose? I assume this is what the hole on the bottom of the accordion was used for as well as the metal...

    Idle up on the power steering? I'm using the pump off of the 4runner so I plugged the vacuum line from the power steering pump and also the one from the accordion, should I not have done this?

    That would make sense. However that was the part that I repaired while the motor was still in the car. It was sticking, causing the motor to rev up and down, so I took it apart, unseized and oiled it. It seems to still make the noise when the motor shuts off and it clicks when I reset it by...

    I recently installed a 7mge in my 1985 4runner. The problem is that it will start strong every time, then run for a few seconds at a high idle then die. There are no codes since the ecm won't send them for what ever reason (I followed the diagnosis and the tsrm says that the computer is bad)...

    7mge in 4runner

    Hello, I've recently transplanted a 7m-ge out of a 1987 supra in to my 1985 4runner. The swap is more or less complete except the engine doesn't run righ, but thats for another post. My 4runner is equipped 4.88 gears, lockers front and rear, a three inch lift and super swampers. The 7m...
