I know all to well how that goes.....
guess I should clarify a little about myself. I have been working as a technician for ford going on 8years now. I started chaning oil, went to fomoco training program and now have my ford senior master and ase master certs. I have done alot of gas performance and now working on strickly diesels currently. so yeah I have a little automotive knowledege. I just havent had any toyota experence or way old EFI experence. I am a little young I guess, I mostly deal with EEC V and newer vehicles at work. I know I can fix it just need a little direction and known concerns first. That FSM is helping alot too, I am reading it now.
None of the info offered was in anyway to insult your level of expertise or experience. I too can appreciate your involvement in the industry as I have been wrenching now for quite a few years in many private shops and a dealership as well ranging in light duty to heavy duty vehicles and equipment without a career change of any kind or the desire to change for that matter. As long as you know this stuff isn't all too hard and rather basic you should be fine given your accomplishments so far. Sounds like you'll get it figured out with the right directions. I've always said, "A good mechanic is like a good driver. Just cause he's never been there doesn't mean he doesn't know how to drive or get around. He just needs directions to save time".
Good luck with your T/S...
