Update. I have changed the fuel pressure reg for a genuine one, and I have replaced the IAC, for a genuine Denso Toyota one. Seems to be slightly better, however I also reset the ECU at the same time. Apparently open to close loop takes 12 cycles. So I assume I’ll see mid next week if there is...

Tried 15 times, doesn’t want to go into the mode.

Good point, that is my next avenue after talking to the sparky at work with an early EFI rover, looking into the loom and testing sensor resistances back at the ecu. I’ll have a look at the TPS, I placed the reg under significant human vacuum haha and it didn’t leak on me. I am wondering if it...

Cable throttle w/ IAC, electronic throttle would have made my next adventure of cruise control much easier. The idle up diode I will definitely have to look into. So would it potentially be that it’s sh*t itself? The OBD2 I’m considering getting a mechanic I know to plug his much more...

Double points to anyone who can help me with what the f**k this is?! I’m still extremely curious. Anyone got factory wiring schematics?

Update. No difference, although it does look prettier now. Still *seems* to be running rich, idle still sh*tty, high and lagging behind. Thinking maybe it needs a new IAC, it runs nicer with the IAC unplugged, revs drop down, thinking maybe the motor in the IAC is shagged. I did test the...

Yep, they’re $120 each here (aftermarket, probably 300 each from Toyota) in Aus, a lot of money to pay for resonators to remove some intake sound. I don’t believe it to be these, I plugged the holes with acetyl bungs I machined up - my local mechanic gave it a tick of approval upon roadworthy. I...

No MAF sadly.

Yes! It is, same as our Hilux’s. I don’t have access to a different ECM, however if I can’t fix it myself I’ll take it to a tuner. LPG has a cut down intake so I figure they used the short pipe just being cheap. That’s why i put all the OG stuff back on.

I’ll try that with the charcoal canister, it’s supposed to have OBD2, it has a plug but won’t read. I believe Toyota didn’t put the capability in the Aussie ones because our government didn’t require it! Sadly lol I believe some of the wreckers here send complete motors to the states. I have...

Yep! Coil packs, can the stock ECU be tuned at all? I put all original intake back on when I bought it as it had a s***ty pod filter right above the exhaust manifold 🤦🏻‍♂️ only thing I didn’t replace back to factory was the resonator cans? I machined up some acetyl bungs for those holes...

There is my other problem, it was design rule in USA for OBD2 ports but not Australia in 2002, so I have one but it doesn’t have the protocol to talk to scanners 🤣 MINT! I know. Haha apparently Toyota don’t go nuts on installing things they don’t have to. I’ll check for a piggyback this...

Yes! Sorry gas=LPG in Australia and we call gas, petrol 🤣 that was my bad! Haha I’m not entirely sure how it integrated, it came with the LPG system removed, I only know it had one because of the compliance plate that we have to have by law over here. I know it doesn’t use the injectors, from...

G’day! Aussie here, so I have a 100 series… BUT it’s got a 1FZ-FE (with a manual behind it), given my question is engine related only I’ve been informed I’m better off on the 80 series forum than the 100! So, here’s my conundrum, I’m running rich.. still. I’ve changed/tested; - plugs and...

G’day legends that gave us a hand this week, thought I’d share my success (all be it a tiny one). Cheers 🍻 cruiser no longer runs rich.
