Yeah! Actually, I am looking for the forward center console and shift boots in blue. That would be awesome if you have them still.

 

I don't in blue, just in red. but im pretty sure my friend does have blue ones. How should we get ahold of one another? I don't feel like posting my number up on yotatech though.

 

I hear ya there...

PM'd

 

I got to spend some time wiring today. I connected the blue and yellow wires at the position switch, so it thinks it's in neutral.

I also wired the reverse lights and 4WD light. I connected the check engine light, but it still does not come on. Not even a bulb check... I'll look into that later.

 

every time i look at you're build i am amazed great job love the sound

 

So I checked out his box of knobs and there all grey, black, and even a weird old red. And the same with the consol. If I come across any of those when we clean ill let you know

 

No worries, thanks for checking.



So, wheel spin in the rain is getting annoying. Plus I want more traction off-road.
What are you guys using for diffs? I was thinking about ordering a Detroit Truetrac for my stock diff. Or should I source a V6 diff and put something in that?

 

Still have those red boots? haha

I am trying to find the front part of the center console as well. 410 wrecking didn't have any.

Funny story about the cat. Mine was cut out when I was at the super mall. It's coming along good for sure though!

 

I'm at a loss...

I have been fighting this check engine light thing for a while now. I have been over the schematic over and over. The only wires not connected to Data Link Connector are for the fuel pump and the sub-o2.

We have used both a Snap-on Solus and a Modis to attempt to scan it with no success.

I have the L-Y wire at connector IK2, pin 9 connected to the Violet wire on the 4Runner harness at IH1, pin 4. There is continuity to the ECU, but when plugged in it does not ground, not even for a bulb check. I also grounded the Violet wire and made sure the cel bulb does work.

Is my ECU bad? Or am I missing a ground on the ECU that the schematic doesn't show?

RMA... Halp!!!!!1!

 

how did you wire the MIL. and your engine wasnt obd2 right. if so the modis and solus wont talk to it. they say it will but i have a solus my self and i have tried and it wont talk to a obd1 car.

 

I wired the mil by connecting the blue/yel of the Lexus ECU to the violet wire in the 4Runners harness. The locations are in my last post.

Good to know that it might be just a scan tool issue, but I still don't understand why the light won't work. I can't even get flash codes out of it.

 

sorry i just looked at my diagrams and fiigured out how you wired it. my mil is pin 3 in IH1 in both my 3vz and 22re diagrams. but my strff is for a 95. the bulb is good right. i have had a fue go out when i have takeing clusters out.

 

Yeah, I checked it and it's good. It will illuminate if I ground the violet wire. It's the ECU not doing it's job...

Oh, and yeah it's OBD1.

 

theres another wire that grounds it in the harness i found it when trying to make sure the thing still worked in my cluster. well nevermind its the power wire. it should work looking at the diagram. so the b-r is not hooked up to b+ on the check connector

 

looks like you have the right wires connected .. it is violet but at pin #3 not 4

try checking that your connection is good from IH1 #3 to C14 #9.
Then
at the lexus T6 (TDCL) connector put a meter from W(T6#8 L-Y) to E1 (T6#3 brown)
or at the ecu E9#6 for W and E10#69 for E1
you should have 12 volts at idle and 0-2 volts with the ignition switch on..

if it doesnt check out check grounds if not try another ecu ..

good luck bro.

 

Thanks for the reply! I'll get them checked tomorrow morning.

On a side note, I drove it from Kirkland to Lake Chelan tonight, going over Stevens Pass on Hwy 2. I used 7.5 gallons and drove 157 miles averaging about 50 mph. By my math, that's 20.9 MPG. Not bad at all...

 

Nice! I pass by you and TJ at the shop occasionally... Runner looks good!

 

Yeah I still have the red ones. But I live in colorado. So I might have to get paypal or something

 

That must be the problem then. I don't have a TDCL connector and none of those wires are connected. I was using the underhood connector on the engine, which is part of the engine harness and connected properly.


Crap, where am I gonna get that. I didn't get the interior wiring with my engine...

You got an extra one? Lol

 

Here's another bummer...



I drove to the top of Chelan Butte, actually sitting here right now.

RMA, you were right again... This radiator is too small, or I need a hood scoop to vent more air from the engine bay. Any time I try to climb a grade at low speeds the engine gets hot. I had to stop and let it cool 5 times to climb 1500 ft. :mad:
