40th 2uz.
Hey guys, newbe here. A few years ago I owned a 2003 v8 4runner limited. Wheeled it in colorado. Loved it. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of it. We needed third row. Bought 98 100 series….. hated it. The 100 was WAY too big for wheeling. Sssssooooo…..
I picked up this 40th, with the intention of mating a 2uz to it. Engine and trans are now mounted, most of the wiring is done, but now I’m stuck. Ive done some engine conversions on bmw’s, but this is the first Toyota I have ever worked on.
I need your help!!!!
But first, some pics and history.
Here is the rig.
Pulled the seats, carpet and most of the interior junk. Massive cleaning was needed. It was about as disgusting as you could imagine. Chew spittunes spilled all over. Here is a pic of the before / after cleaning. Can you spot the 12"x12" spot that was not cleaned?
Motor fitted
Here are the specs:
2005 tundra 2uz-fe (w/ vvti) (without security)
Engine harness was never separated from engine
Engine mounted 6” forward.
A750F 5-speed trans from an 06 LC.
Custom driveshafts
Customized SC pan.
Custom trans mount
Custom engine mounts
2-1/2” custom exhaust
I have a completed spreadsheet for all the connectors and made my mating harness.
05Tundra – connector IE1 (main chassis / engine connector.)
05Tundra – connector J28/J29 (junction for trans gear selector indicators.)
05Tundra – connector EB2 (start sig / air pump / alternator.)
05Tundra – connector E3 (A)
05Tundra – connector E4 (B)
97 LC – IH1 (main chassis / engine connector)
97 LC – IH2 ( gear selection to comb meter. )
97 LC – E7 (D) (from dme to chassis.)
PROBLEM
Here's where I need your help. No-start. I am getting no spark when I try to start. It has been sitting there since May, I am completely stumped.
QUESTIONS:
Desperately need some help from others that have done this. Rob???? Toojayzee???? Anyone???? HELP.
Cheers, Jason

QUESTIONS:
- EDIT.......I DO have the Leak Detection Pump installed or wired.
- EDIT....OOPS, I DID HAVE THE ALT HOOKED UP.
- I have the start request signal (from st1) going directly to the starter (bypassing the p/n switch.) Will this cause a no-start?
- EDIT........I DO have the air pump installed / wired .
- EDIT.......I DO have the air injection driver installed or wired. Is this required?
- EDIT.......I DO have the DATA LINK connected. powered up, but not communicating w/ dme?
- Does the ECU need to be “reflashed” due to the non a440 transmission?
Desperately need some help from others that have done this. Rob???? Toojayzee???? Anyone???? HELP.
