    DIY: R-12 to R-134a Conversion (How To)

    Which flush fluid is used to flush? How much ND-8 oil is in the system? I'm going to drain the entire system so it will be empty.

    DIY: R-12 to R-134a Conversion (How To)

    Why do you think the replacement condenser is more efficiant than the original? From the pictures it looks smaller.

    Slip ring or Clock spring?

    Does anyone know if I can use a 1992 clock-spring for an airbag Supra instead of the stock slip ring on a 89+ non-airbag Supra? Will it fit? I'd like to have those two extra "channels" for some paddle shifters.

    Error code 41 - TPS

    This is not a stupid thread (at least from the begining). I was asking a question to help understand and trouble shoot the matter. As you can see other people are puzzled by the remark in the TSRM. So it was just to understand it. But regarding the "wrong and contradictory" remark I was...

    A340 over drive direct clutch speed NCO pulses per revolution

    I'm finally wiring in my PCS transmission controller, but I have a few doubts about certain sensors. One of them is the Over drive direct clutch speed sensor which is on the A340 from the MKIV supra. Does anyone know how many pulses it detects per revolution of the over drive direct...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    Well this is taking some time, primarily because you are not clear in your answers. Since English is not my primary language I can't rule out that I'm not getting your answers because of that. But just to recapitulate: The quote: As I understand it, it says that when the sensor is...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    I guess politeness is not something we cherish here on SM. Nobody bothers to read the actual question and a person who should know better (at least that is what he claims) answers questions that were never asked, and on top of that gives wrong and contradictory answers in an arrogant...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    Yes, I know that. The question I'm asking in this thread which Jetjock fails to understand is if the underlined part of the quote in the TSRM is right or wrong. I have a new TPS here and everything is working fine. The question was never whether my TPS was bad or not, or how to test if...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    I'm not an electronics wizzard but I have wired in a few things. But I discussed the quote from the TSRM with an electronics engineer (who btw has build his own ECU for a 7mGTE from scratch) and he told me it would be possible for an ECU to distinguish an unplugged sensor from a broken sensor...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    Yes of course. I know the TPS is broken. I'm just puzzled by the statement in the TSRM that an unplugged sensor will not set the code. In theory it will be possible for an ECU to detect the difference between an unplugged sensor and a broken sensor. So in order to thoroughly trouble shoot the...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    Listen, I know my TPS is bad and need replacing. The reason I am asking all these questions is that the TSRM states that: "When the connector for the throttle position sensor(s) is disconnected, diagnostic trouble code 41 or 47 is not displayed" That means to me that when unplugging the...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    So when I unplug the TPS the code should go away? And it doesn't. So that would indicate that I have a wiring problem since the code is present with three different ECUs? Can you tell me how the ECU can determine if the TPS is unplugged instead of the VTA circuit is open or closed? Since...

    Error code 41 - TPS

    why is that funny? In theory the ecu could detect that a tps is present through the vcc e2 connection. And a code could be set if tps is present and vta is open. That is how I read the above quote. But I don't think it is true.

    Error code 41 - TPS

    I have error code 41 and the car runs in limp mode. I have a 2JZ-GTE engine in my mkIII. When reading the TSRM it states that an unplugged connector will not set the code. Only faulty circuit, TPS or ecu regarding the VTA circuit will. When I unplug the TPS the code remains. When reading...

    Strut Tower Bars...

    It is my car. Recently converted it to hydrofan and replaced the mkIV automatic transmission with a 1999 Soarer automatic transmission. A couple of pictures. The bay needs cleaning after working on and of over the winter.

    Did Toyota change the mouldings?

    The original question was if Toyota changed the 92 mouldings when ordering a replacement. The 92 mould I got from Toyota today is very different from the 92 moulding originally on my car. And not for the better in my oppinion. I guess I'll have to turn to ebay. Stupid Toyota!

    Did Toyota change the mouldings?

    I don't like them. I think they look cheaper and the new shape is more complicated and I think it gives the trim a "busy" look. Even if they supplied me with all new mouldings to match free of charge I wouldn't want them. It is going back to Toyota.
