if a crank position sensor goes bad then the engine wont even start. you have to have a signal from the crank and cam sensor for the engine to even run. i'm gonna post some more questions on the supra forum and see if i can get more info.

well caleb- this statement is both true and un-true.
while they are required to be operational for the motor to start- these sensors are not set paramiter sensors, they are variable- meaning that in thier rpm range, they change voltages, much like a proper working MAF.
a clean with just a rag, no solvents, would be worth a few mins

ok, i was just going off of my dad's car. he has a 95 eagle talon TSI. it had a bad knock sensor and it wouldnt even start. but i guess thats because it was completely bad, not just a dirty or bad connection. i was also told on the supra forum that the cam position sensor connectors are very finaky. i'm gonna check into those and the crank sensor wires and see if things need to be cleaned or have some bad wires.

Haha you don't wanna wheel anything with a carb, a sb is worse than a 22r you cant go up a curb with out it idling at 200 rpms.

I hope the runner runs soon, get them tires yet?

Well even a TBI doesn't have too many wires.

CPI is dumb.

Caleb.... where's my tires you ordered bro?

pumkin toy · « **Reply #548 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 05:29:01 PM »

ha ha! i hope i figure it out soon, i wanna see some pics of it wheelin too!

Tires were supposed to be shipped out today. i would have gotten them already but i called the same wharehouse who i bought the tires from and i decided to order my wheels from them too. they had to get the wheels from another store because i wanted a pretty uncommon size (17x9 2.5" backspace). they were going to get them all mounted and balanced today, then ship em out as a package deal. It would be sweet if i saw them by friday, but i dont think that will happen. it will probly be next monday before i get em.

thats not necessarily true. my dad had a 400 small block in his fj40. his truck was all linked with 37's and duals so he wheeled the crap out of it. He rebuilt the quadrajet carb and blocked off certain holes inside. idk how he knew what exactly to do to it, but you would swear that thing was fuel injected! it ran perfect at basically any angle

peacesells · « **Reply #549 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 05:37:27 PM »

Qjets are the best carb for 4wheelin, our 84 gmc suburban had a qjet on it and it never sputterd or died no matter what angle it was at

yeah my dad's worked really well, i was amazed. but ultimately efi is the only way to go for wheelin. or propane, thats always a good option

who makes propane kits for v8s?

and you are having them mount and balance your tires too???!!!!! BOMB!! that will save you time and hassle

i think gotpropane is starting to make kits for v8's. not for sure though. check their website.
and yeah dude! its gonna be sick, all i gotta do is bolt em on and go! (that is if its running by the time the tires get here lol)

Did you get it figured out yet? Don't give up! Did you check the fuel pressure? Maybe a bad fuel pump? The lean plugs kinda point to that,along with the cutting out under load. The best way to figure this out is to get a chiltons manual for the motor and your truck and check out how the previous owner wired it in. How did he merge the truck wiring with the engine wiring to make it all work. Your going to have to go over everything like you did the install.

no i havnt figured it out yet. i havnt even touched it for a couple days. i had to order a new cps cap and seal from toyota, it should be here tomorrow. once i get that put on i'm going to work on it some more. Its actually running VERY rich now. i run it for a couple minutes and there is a pile of soot on the floor from the exhaust pipe. I need to check my coolant temp sensor because i know it can cause a rich condition. I am also going to take the intake pipe completely off and check it very thouroughly for cracks. Un-metered air coming in through a crack in the intake pipe can cause serious problems. Dont worry man, i wont be giving up anytime soon! you have the 22re-t 4runner right?

89sastoyo · « **Reply #556 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 09:49:31 PM »

woah dude. k I dont know if you have checked or know but is it spooling up and creating the right amount of boost? if not it could even be a boost leak or something with the turbo. My buddy has an sr in his 240 and his turbo stopped spooling and it ran like hot garbage and super super rich like full on diesel status cause the turbo wasn't building any presure.

SNOW WALKER · « **Reply #557 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 10:14:16 PM »

No I haven't started it yet.I need the trans in for the starter to bolt it up to. I hope to have it in next weekend. The snow is 6 inches deep down here. It's about 2 feet deep in the hills It's killing me! I want to go Wheeling' bad!

ZombieHunter · « **Reply #558 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 07:38:38 AM »

Not sure if it will help your situation but you might try to rotate the MAF. I know on my supercharged car it ran much better.

yeah i am gonna check my intake pipe for cracks tomorrow. i gotta take it off and check it out. I feel like its probly a really simple fix that has been drivin me crazy. Right now its not creating any boost at all because as soon as i push on the throttle it instantly falls right on its face like someone stuck a glob of mud in the intake.

89sastoyo · « **Reply #560 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 11:55:48 PM »

hmm thats strange I doubt its the charge pipe than my buddies ran kinda like you could get it to rev up and everythign thing it would just sputter hard core.

i have checked everywhere for vaccum leaks and cant find anything. thats why i am gonna pull the intake pipe off tomorrow and look it over really good. if there is a crack anywhere it will cause alot of problems.

ha ha! no i havnt checked it yet. eventually i probly will but i really dont think that is the problem, considering it is running very rich.

Alright dudes i finally got the 4Dee's today

they look pretty sick! I'm gonna throw em on the Runner tomorrow and start figuring out how i'm gonna do the trimming. I got some new motivation to do some fab work on this turd now! It still doesnt run right, but i dont care at this point in time. It's time to get out the

and get some s**t done
