First run at trying to get my fj62 back in shape. I replaced plugs, wires, distributor, rotor, air filter and PCV valve and grommet. Started great and ran beautiful. Drove to fill up and check engine light came on after a few miles but was running great. Filled up and when I started it up, no check engine light. 1/2 way home it came on again but was still running fine. I had planned to pull the codes when I got home so no problem. I followed the directions to get the output of diagnosis codes as follows:
1) Battery over 11 v
2) valve fully closed. I supposed that meant to not have my foot on the gas peddle and did check to make sure the throttle was at the stop screw.
3) transmission in neutral
4) no accessories on
5) vehicle at operating temperature
I used the service wire incorrectly at first and jumped between the terminal just to the right of TE1 and E1 and turned the key to the on position. The check engine light stays on the whole time. I realized my mistake and went to TE1 and E1. Check engine light continues to burn steadily with no blinking.
I went over the above criteria to make sure I had all the things done correctly as noted above. I checked the throttle position sensor and followed the directions placing a gauge on the throttle and verifying all resistances were within normal limits on the TPS. THe check engine light continues to burn steady when attempting to get the codes off. When I got home the entire engine bay smelled strongly of gas but I could not find any leaking. I started it up to see if I had just messed up something messing with the throttle all that time and it ran fine for several minutes. It then suddenly stalled and now I have no spark and it won’t start.
I will start at the battery tomorrow and see if I can trace this latest problem from the battery thru the fuses and on to the coil etc..
My main question is how can I get the computer to spit out the codes?! My check terminal is a mess. See attached image. I appreciate any insight. Not a great start to my project.....
