Say hello to my little friend!

[zem_41]

New ecu arrived today, I asked for it to be packaged well as they don't like to be knocked about, it came with one wrap of bubble wrap and someFRAGILE tape!
Brilliant!
It seems to be exactly the same as bazcam's so ill get yours both in the post Monday lads.

Could the ATF cooler I installed have anything to do with the trans faults?
Also if the trans had no faults then the o/d light should flash anyway to tell me, but it does not.
I checked the ATF level too this morn when it was cold and the level was up at the top of the hot marker :-/

Bazcam, should have the new ecu early next week so ill have yours back in the post ASAP thanks again buddy.

No worries mate, hope the new one sorts it out,
tis becoming a bit of a ball ache.

Ha true, need to get used to it being injection first, nearly lost the back end today, that was in 2nd!

The Turbo light is the V8 saying "please fit a turbo, boss"

[zem_41]

It seems my turbo light has come on I noticed today can't work that out.
I had a dull clunking noise coming from the back that would sound only when going over pot holes and speed bumps.
Noticed today while someone bounced the truck up and down that the n/s rear shock has somehow worked itself loose. So there is now about 25mm play in the threaded bit at the top of the piston even though the top two nuts are still tight?
More fun jobs :-)

[zem_41]

Yeah the tps adjustment doesn't seem to make a difference to the gear changes, it doesn't even really make a difference to the idle either?
If I turn it all the way anti-clockwise it stalls the car, if I turn it all the way clockwise the tick over doesn't really rise at all.

[zem_41]

Thanks guys I'm hoping it's something small, just seems strange it was fine in the lexus and now have these issues :-(
I'll give the tps a play later

[BUSHWHACKER]

Also I have found another ecu on eBay that is claimed to be good the codes are
89661-50253
175200-0820
Will this one work? It's from a 1995
Thanks

Yep, that will work.

It's the five numbers after the 89661- that you need to check, if they start with a 5???? then it'll be OK. If they start with a 3???? then nine times out of ten they'll be immobilised.

I'll get back to you later about the trans problems.

It seems that I do have 2nd gear but the shift from 1st to 2nd is rubbish, it's like it takes too long to shift and the truck slows up a bit and the revs drop too much for 2nd to effectively take over from where 1st left off. It just seems there is no kick down now, could this be due to a lack of kick down switch under throttle peddle? Or maybe the tps? I read a post on club lexus that had a similar prob where the gears change up too quick and he said it was a safety feature of t/case to stop engine damage?

If it seems to be slipping a lot before setting off, rotating the TPS can affect that (when I've played with it on mine at least). Mark where it is currently and just loosen the screws, it shouldn't need much to have an effect. I gauged it on idle speed with the engine warm.

My original transmission ended up like yours where it would slip, set off in first then drop straight to what felt like O/D and crawl. Unfortunately I never got to the bottom of it as there were too many possible causes (trans had been fitted badly and under / over filled a few times I think). Strangely it seemed to work fine for a few minutes until it got up to temperature.

I hope you manage to get it sorted soon; it's so frustrating having all that engine when the power can't find its way to the wheels properly!

Man, I hope you get this sorted, soon

[zem_41]

Gave that a try, not sure if I'm doing it right or something else is wrong. I Turned on ign, switched off o/d so button out light on, connected te1 to earth, I get the same codes on your led but o/d light stays on no flashes. tried it other way so turning on o/d with button in and light out still nothing. Tried it with te1 connected before ign and o/d in and out with no result :-(

[zem_41]

Cool, light at the end if the tunnel maybe
I'll get on to that tmrw vince thanks buddy

[BUSHWHACKER]

OK, then you need to check for any transmission codes.

Earth that check light wire.
Switch off overdrive (button out)
Switch on ignition.
Count flashes.

I have a feeling you'll get either a code 64 or 67.
