    3 Engine Lights ? Alternator

    this may mean your diode is out in the alt. The current flows backwards to a ground point for all three of these lights. the current flows backwards and lights them up. This what was wrong with mine when it had this problem.

    front hub question

    the bearing, race and spindle has to come apart to get the abs serated sensor ring off the spindle to see if there is anything trapped in the hub. the bearing and everything else is sealed off from this area. if the sensor came apart i guess by your post it may be trapped in behind the sensor...

    what are the advantages to a ffim

    wouldnt think it is necessary till you upgrade the turbo a good bit and other mods. i would think the higher boost you run the more advantage to the FFIM. I dont know what boost level it would be.

    Replacing front wheel stud

    you have to remove the entire spindle and unscrew the retaining nut and pull the bearing apart because it is the only way to remove the hub assembly. the dam abs ring wont allow access to the stud. You will need to buy a new bearing for the spindle because you will get debris in the bearing...

    Trough the firewall

    i drilled down by the curved part of the firewall below the brake booster. It will come out by the steering column but high enough up not to be seen inside. It allows easy access from the engine bay and somewhat from inside. I have two holes in this area for wires. Other way is to cut a...

    wiring harness(_engine harness)

    glad to see you are finally getting a wiring harness to go with that $6000 rebuild. It is a good investment to go along with the rest of the money you have spent. Everyone should get a new harness if you plan on keeping the car for a while. It will avoid so many problems.

    Toyota IAC and stepper design :)

    I am trying to use the aem and the idle control is a bitch. After the engine warms up to 194* i can set the idle % for the valve to be used to idle at x rpm so that the ecu has to close the valve % by -2 or -3. The idle learned value is -2 or -3% for now. so i have set the valve more on the...

    Proper pressure for R134a freon

    thanks for the info. My crappy gauge on the freon bottle says about 27 or 28 psi low side and is blowing cold. I went to gulf shores, AL with teh low freon and sweated my way back. Topped off the freon and now a/c is cold.

    Engine harness problems...

    good to know. It sounds like the early 89 harness is basically an 88 with the 89+ ecu. confusing that a car made for 5 years has 5 different wiring harnesses. Screwing around with the pinouts of a 89+ engine harness to add the 88 body plugs so it would fit the body harness would be a PITA.

    Engine harness problems...

    Lagged: You need to read this post a little bit closer. Getting a good harness for 88 down will be a problem. If you switch the engine harness from 88 to 89 or 90 you will need a 89+ ecu but the other plugs will not plug n play into the body harness plugs that the engine harness uses. The...
