First just want to say how great this site is!!!
I'm sure there is someone out there that can answer my question. I have a 86 4runner that is my daily driver has been for about 6 years now. The guy I got it from said his son had a new transmission put in. I have I always drive it with the ect in power mode. If I put it in normal it revs higher before shifting gears. shouldn't it be the other way around. I think it should rev higher in power mode to help if you are pulling a load. Is it possible the switch is wired backwards. Or is it working the way it should. I also get better gas mileage in power mode.

 

Anyone out there know about the ect modes? If you have an auto let me know how yours works
thanks

 

free bump

 

Should shift later at higher RPM. Sounds like something is wrong. Could be wired wrong but I think it is more complicated than that. It might be as simple as your shift cable needing an adjustment. As to gas mileage you should notice a slight drop in mileage when it is activated.

 

welcome to yotatech sounds fine to me

 

All you might ever care to know about the ECT is here:

thanks everyone. That link has everything I wanted to know and more.

 

Glad I could help

 

yeah sounds backwards to me

and rob's avatar is still a nice red X

 

Looks fine to me! It's just a pigment of your imagination...

 

i think youre just saying that cuz its some sort of personal picture that you like to see when youre on YT but you dont want anyone else to see! you remedy-dodger!

 

That's me! A rebel and a rule breaker But only in a 'safe' way... hahahhah

 

i also just came to the conclusion that the red X IS your avatar and youre also trying to mess with our heads by being "offline" all the time but really being here!

 

Hmm... you have put a lot of thought into this...
