Hey guys I need to get the upper half of my hatch off and go the body shop for some rust tlc. But I'm having some trouble fishing the wire harness through the grommet. I've manged to pull one connector through and disconnect 2 wires, but there are more and I can't feel any other connectors...
Well found the culprit, turns out I wasn't paying much attention when cranking down the valve cover, and somehow managed to run a bolt right through the #6 injector wire lol. Wish i would have seen that before taking off the upper half of the intake, but would have been pretty tough to get...
Custom wiring harness from EZ Wiring (not Painless but same idea). New in box, but was on the shelf for probably 6-7 years. Cut the zip ties off one of the legs to lay it out one time. Never installed.
Perfect harness for rewiring motor swaps.

Hey guys I'm going to take the cruiser in to have the rear hatch surface rust fixed up, but the shop hasn't done any cruiser work before and are worried about the gasket and the window. For the record no one around here has done cruiser work :) And the window has to come out as the rust is...
Hey guys, last winter I had started a tune up project that didn't up to well here
https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/first-time-tune-up-truck-runs-like-crap.785363/
Basically new seals/gaskets on the front/top half of the motor, new cap/rotor and plugs. When it all went back to together it...
Ralph, I'm not at all sure it's on correct :) I didn't check the timing, but will to make sure. But #6 plug definitely looked like it had never fired. and I did have it running for I would say around 5 minutes in total.
Going to do some forum searches on intake removal and fuel injector...
It took a few attempts, but I finally got the distributer back on the truck running again. But it was still missing on a cylinder and running rough. Started pulling wires off the distributer, every wire effected idle when removed, except for 6. Tried it again to be sure, and yup pulling...
Well things went from bad to worse this weekend. I had the truck running rough when I first started on Sunday. It would start up, but idled pretty rough. I'm an idiot when it comes to motors, but my old man said it sounded like it was missing.
So I pulled the distributer, set the crank...
Definitely going to have to do something, froze like that after only a few summer months. Bent 2 pins trying to hammer it out even after heating the hell out of the caliper bracket. Of course the small hole size for the bottom bolt limited the size of pin I could use.
Thanks for the tips guys.
Yeah going to tackle that first for sure. What is that valve called to the right of the PCV hose on the intake manifold? I can't seem to find it in the fsm. Every reference I've seen for the intake, only list the PCV hose. It's always illustrated, but I can't seem to locate it's name/...
I ended up having to wait around a week for a replacement bolt from the local toyota dealership, so I figured I would do the tune up and reseal job I had meant to do in the summer. Why I waited until it got below freezing, who knows. But I was leaking oil at a pretty steady rate and the work...
I ended up grabbing that 97 on ebay. I hadn't been looking too religiously, but it sure seemed like every year other then 97 went up there.
Thanks guy!
