Solving the BIGGEST Problem with my V8 Toyota

In Moab my 1989 Toyota Pickup with the 1UZ V8 Swap was having a MAJOR issue, that forced me to leave trails early. And the issue ended up being really dumb and simple.

Those coil pack wires are fragile for sure. Mine the clips break easily. Looks like you figured out the culprit. Fun video! Keep up the good work!

Would have never found it if you didn't pull the coils thats why you order of operation is so important in diagnosing. Good job

@SuperbugRacingRSA 2 жыл бұрын

Glad you found the issue. Seems like the fuse did its job. The coils and injectors are powered up from the efi relay which gets switched by the ecu. So they do not have permanent power with the ignition on. They will only show power for a couple of seconds when you switch on the ignition and then again when the ecu sees crank signal.

I forgot to film my findings for this part. I noticed all this haha. I just dont have the schematics for the harness, so it's all kind of guess work / chasing wires.

those gremlins are definitely annoying and Time consuming. on my swap I decided to get a whole new harness built. my truck is far from stock though so it was a small expense compared to how much I've sunk into it already.

@DirtGarage Жыл бұрын

Its much stronger, you can come off a boulder and have whole weight of truck on it and not damage it. And not even a little balanced for low speed and offroad use only. I would not go above 50kph with it.

There is no genuine parts for early 1UZ. They have distributors, I converted to coil on plug when I did stand alone.

I really want to do this swap. Unfortunately the moronic Dictatorship of California won't allow its subjects to make our old vehicles more efficient and powerful...even when it spews the same or even cleaner emissions. Going GM connect and cruise is just stupid expensive and sacrilege for purists like myself. Nice work BTW! KEEP IT UP 💯
