Can anyone provide me with the 1992 california emissions tps adjustment? I paid for the 2 day thing but i think i missed a few pdfs. its kinda crappy they set it up that way. i think i saw one on ebay for 230 with free shipping... wow

I may have found the culprit... I got the wild idea that if I measured vf1 and started bangin around on s*** in the engine compartment and the ecu, I could see if anything would change the voltage output. Sure enough, the efi main relay was shorted or something, if i banged it, the engine would...

Still failing emissions... running super rich... Noticed that the egr had a crap load of black soot in it... also another thing i think might be overlooked is that I hear constant clicking intermittently from the frontmost vsv in the line of 3. Can anyone tell me how to fully check the egr...

Just pulled off the valve cover after letting it idle for about 20 and there is a s*** ton of gas in the oil... WTF?! Im guessing this might be why the thing gets like 7-8 mpg... I am going to adjust the valves anyway but this is the first time I have noticed this... any ideas?

Held, do you have any documentation on this procedure that I wont have to pay 70 bucks for? Thanks CJ

Mr. Held, are you sure about that? From my understanding this code (51) is suppost to illuminate when you have (terminals TE1 and E1 jumped together) AND (turn on the ac OR press the accel OR take the car out of N/Park). This code is to tell the technician "Hey! youre running richer than you...

Ok... so here's where I'm at. It turns out the code 51 is thrown by hitting the throttle or turning on the ac or putting the shifter in anything other than park or N. This is normal I have concluded. I did some more research on it and Toyota uses this same code on other vehicles. Well that's...

Thanks, I did have a dead spot in the old TPS sensor, but I replaced it about a month ago... It tests per the FSM now too... Had to adjust it when I put it in so it should be fine.:hhmm: cheers

Thanks Desmond, I do plan on replacing the FPD when i replace the FPR, but i dont think they are the issue... I have adjusted the magic screw as well... I timed it, adjusted the idle to where it idles at 650 (not 100% smooth but around 95% which isnt bad). Im starting to think more and more its...

if there is a test procedure for the ECU can someone post please?

Haha anyone have a working ECU they're willing to let me borrow so I can see if that is the issue or not? :D

Got some new info here... OK, so I re did the O2 diagnostic per the FSM, this run through of the flow graph I received zero drops in the voltage between terminals te1 and e1. The FSM suggests replacing the ECU... great... NEW INFO: I was in the cab holding the engine at 2500 RPM and I noticed a...

Thanks, I appreciate it. I pulled the vac line and it smelled slightly like gas but wasnt wet. I plan on replacing this soon because its a little bit out of spec but I dont believe its whats causing the main issue. Cheers

OK... New O2's installed, still running rich... I get about 5 or 6 mpg... It's freaking terrible! WTF is wrong with this LC?! I pulled the fuse and reset the ECU after I replaced the 02's and before I drove it so it could adjust... No luck. Any Ideas guys? thanks Ive been driving it for a week...

nnno! haha, it still works... guess its not broken... :D
