I haven't had any time to work on my car at all, but thought I'd bump this with a meager update.
I could not clearly hear the fuel pump coming on before when jumpered, so Aaron shipped one out yesterday. I'm going to rewire that and bypass the relay and resister for 12v constant.
I bought shielded wire and a new male/female 4-pin sealed plugs and completely rewired the CPS to the ECU. I made sure at least 15 times all the wires were going to the correct spot in my field harness. Soldered in the wires to the CPS and the needle still doesn't jump when cranking. I did test the CPS after this was done too, it is still within TSRM, high but within spec.
I wanted to ground the ignitor but one of the screws is stripped so I can't get the casing off to do so, I'll just try my best with grounding that better to the body.
I'm going to ground the coil pack to the body where it comes off of the negative terminal of the battery to make sure it is grounded well enough.
Bought a new fusible link from Toyota (100amp ALT) wtf previous owner had 10awg wire with female spades connecting it. My guess is they tried to rip it out instead of unbolt it from under the fuse box. <-- It has been like this since I have had it and I did have it running before, so I didn't think it would matter that much.
So what are my options now? I'm pretty sure all my grounds are good. Negative terminal to block. Back of head to body. Trans to body. Umm...I'm at work right now, can't think of the others but I know there are more. What all should be connected at the intake manifold? Is there a ground wire from the wiring harness?
I'm on the verge of replacing the ECU, but don't think that is the problem.
