Hi Mud,
I ended up getting the old 1fzfe rebuilt, and she is purring like new! No more burning oil! literally nothing visible out of the tailpipe. I am very happy.
But OF COURSE... a couple other things were broken during the process.
One that I cannot figure out, is why my CC light is flashing when I try to set it. After reading up on it, I followed this procedure to see what the issue may be...
PROCEDURE:
A. Turn the ignition switch on.
B. Turn the control switch to SET/Coast position, and keep it there.
C.Push the main switch ON.
D.check that the indicator light "CRUISE" lights-up in the
combination meter.
E.Turn the SET/Coast switch off
F.Meet the conditions listed in the table below.
G. Read the diagnostic code on the cruise control indicator light.
..................................................................
#1 Turn the control switch to SET/Coast position
there should be two flashes and then a second break and then two
flashes, then break then two flashes etc. If you get the flashes your
SET/Coast circuit is normal.
#2 Turn the control switch to RES/ACC possition.
this time you get a pause and three flashes, repeated again and
again. if you get the three flashes RES/ACC circuit is ok.
#3 Each switch is turned on
a. Control switch to CANCEL.
b. Stop light switch, (step on brake)
c. parking brake switch. ( pull up parking brake)
d.Neutral start switch. ( put in neutral)
if when you test each of the 4 cancel switches you DO NOT get any
flashes then those switchs are normal.
THIS IS YOU, And now you have to leave the driveway.
#4 Two parts for speed sensor
A. Drive at 25mph or below. if there are NO flashes sensor is normal.
b. Drive at 25mph or over. you should get constant steady blinking.
if she blinks sensor is ok.
After competing this, I *think* I found that my cruiser fails #3. I believe if the CEL is on, all of the #3 steps(control switch to cancel, brake pedal down to cancel, move to N for cancel, and Parking break to cancel should turn off the CC light. None of these caused the light to change or blink, all modes just stayed solid green CRUISE. Per this procedure, "If when you test each of the 4 cancel switches you DO NOT get any flashes then those switches are normal". I did not get a flash or the light turning off, so I'm going to assume I pass #3(unless this really means that it should turn off the CRUISE light). After that, I tested putting the CC on at below and above 25.
Below 25: Works, light comes on, but nothing cancels or sets it other than pressing the button to start CC.
Above 25; Doesn't work, CRUISE blinks like 5 times and then I have to restart the car to get the CRUISE light back.
Any suggestions about what to look at(speed sensor(tcase) versus actuator(passenger fender) versus brake pedal lever thing(behind the break pedal, cant remember the name) would be helpful. I also cannot figure out how to get the CC light to flash to pull those CC specific codes.
Thanks all,
