Just checking in and hoping things are going better for you. I didnt know about the differences on 84 ECU.

 

I have. Even reading that the 84 celica 22re is a bastard child fuel injection

No knock sensor!

 

yea but that makes it a lot easier to swap the head if you don't want to replace the whole engine. i think if i were to do it over again i'd put a 3rz in mine. has almost as much power as my 7m but is much easier to fit! gotta have some bank for an engine swap though...found that out the hard way

 

it was supposed to be an easy swap.... its turning into a nightmare

 

Keep at it man, good luck. Wish i had some wisdom for you. I can only suggest that you continue to look for wire issues, most of my BIG problems always turned out to be small overlooked issues.

 

People that can so swaps have my respect. I just always had a tough time with them. Seen some that do make it look easy. It going to be awhile before I try a swap of some sort. My last one was a nightmare.

 

Its running!!!!

Wire to the coil/igniter was connected to the wrong side of the coil..

drove it up and down the street.. no motor problems!

my headlights don't work.. but atleast its running

 

Where do the wires go?

There is a Black/yellow stripe wire, and a white wire coming out of the the engine fuse box..
Where are these wires supposed to be routed to?

Thanks Roger for the pic

 

One the white wire, are you talking about the Fusible link? On the black/yellow I will look and see when it gets daylight.

The wires I have posted, I am assuming these are the ones you are talking about.

Fusible link


If it is the link you are talking about, I remember that I was talking about it possibly being a hack job of wiring. After talking to Chef and looking at other trucks, I found out it wasnt.

Here is the link to some of the info that I was talking about. On Post #354 Chef gave some good info also.https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...l#post51747852

 

Glad hear to har you got to drive it! Congrats.

 

That is really great, congrats.

 

wow. glad you got it up and running. much better improvement or too soon to tell?

 

I went and looked a little bit a go and the other white wire by my pinky coming out of the fuse block, runs into the wiring bundle along the fender that goes toward the head lights.

The black with yellow stripe wire is my battery ground to block wire. Those are picture of my 88s wiring.

If there is other wire you are talking about, I am not sure. Mine is 4 years newer and I have found some changes between an 86-87 wiring harness on my 86s build.

 

Thanks terry

Can any one else confirm that the black and yellow stripe wire go to ground in an 84?

Just driving around the block it feels great, I want to take it to work. It I still have a crap ton of wires in the cab

 

Well, would you do it again?

 

Wow. that wiring problem sounds like a nightmare. That is my biggest weakness. Good luck.

 

I'll let you know afte I get a full tank off of it.

It does feel like there is alot more power

 

initial drive to work..

Feels great, I used to get a little bog while coming off the line if pointed up hill...

I no longer have this...

that might be enough to make it worth it

 

I swapped in the celica wiper, headlight stalks

and now I have intermittent wipers! awesome..

I also mounted the AFM with one bracket..and removed a fuel filter that was on return fuel line.






'
This is the underside where the battery bolt goes into the body, I put a washer there to keep the hook from pulling through


I'll get some more pics of the rest of the swap later

 

glad the swap gain some power. it will help when your off roading. dont have a carb to worry about not having fuel when on steep climbs
