UWDave's 1fz Replacement

[IdahoDoug]

I'd verify the timing with a timing light (which I assume you have not done) as you're unlikely to get it correct just putting things together. Then, you should know that the engine won't idle correctly (usually very low - 400rpm) until the engine computer has rebuilt its defaults - several minutes of running at a minimum.

Nice job. Tomorrow will bring fresh perspective.

What he said.

Once the ecm memory has been lost, it'll take a bit to restore all the proper settings, and in the meantime the engine runs kinda rough.

Drive it around a little bit and it should smooth out a lot.

Congratulations!

;p

x2 on what Doug said.

My truck recently sat for a week with the battery negative disconnected, and when I hooked it back up it did not want to stay running (kept dieing). After running it a while, it's fine now.

Truck is running pretty well now. So happy to have it moved to my recently completed, side of the house, RV parking.

I've got a timing light lined up and will check things once I get back from NY.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have the 80 running again. Thanks for all the help.

Where you at in NY?

I'll be out in Farmingdale. Long Island.

Maiden freeway voyage today. Truck drove really well.

Yesterday I did the timing and did a trans drain/fill while I was at it.

The only problem I have is the P-D-2-L don't light up on the instrument panel. N lights up fine.
