87 SAS build up- new rig

[87hillbillyoter]

little more progress today, cleaned up the engine a little bit, and threw a little bit of paint on there. also got the old wiring harness in, and started to put the new one in. i was pretty sick of wiring by then so i gave up for today.

here are some pics

[superyota]

this is bringing back memories.  lol.  progress is looking great!  keep the pictures coming.

[87hillbillyoter]

haha will do, everybody loves pictures

some progress today. i kinda hit a few speedbumps, but got most of em figured out. except for one.

this wiring bit, (the thicker one), doesnt seem to be routed right to me. it has a little rubber seal thing on it, leading me to believe it goes through the fender. but the other one right next to it has the same rubber boot on it. and the wires dont seem to be long enough. did i route this right

this one- thats the pass. side by the way



has this on it



and all the engine wires



and some pics of the progress









pic of the truck for good measure





and i was being really stupid trying to line the engine up, and guess what i did



broke the L bracket from the bellhousing to the block

thicker one looks like harness that goes into ecu, Have to cut a hole in the firewall, right below the wiper motor thing.

[Sparkplug]

get a holesaw bit from lowes or homede[pot, like 12 bucks iirc, will cut nice clean hole

you dont have to cut it big enough to use the rubber grommet either, it just helps seal it

IFS and a carb? At least you've made a turn for the better. When I swapped a buddy's 80 over to efi I tried to make it look as factory as possible. Your project is coming right along though.

[87hillbillyoter]

yea man, thats my goal too. at the moment im trying to get it running, then ill clean it up a little bit.

[JANDO11]

well you should be good to go after them parts i got ya... get r done by the firs weekend in nov. im road triping down to pismo with like 5 other yotas

[87hillbillyoter]

yea man hopefully it will be done by next weekend. although thats what i said like 3 weeks ago haha. just havin some trouble with the wiring. but i quit for the weekend, my head hurts

except for some reason only 1 reverse light is working

Burnt bulb? LOL 

[87hillbillyoter]

Burnt bulb? LOL 

maybe, but i feel like they both used to work. i never put it in reverse then got out to check before though :hillbill: and the one its out on is a newer taillight.


ok, maybe somebody can help me with this. there are 3 lines coming out of the gas tank. one is obviously the main fuel line. but the other two is where i need help. one is a return line and one is a vent. i just need to know which one is which.

new birthday present

[TURBO]

wow your farther along than i thought, and it's a 2nd gen carb to 2nd gen EFI swap, i must have missed that somewhere, i thought it was a 1st gen carb to 2nd gen EFI swap (which i have done 2wice)

[87hillbillyoter]

no sir, 88 engine and harness.

[87hillbillyoter]

SHE LIVES!!! well sorta. i got it to crank shes got a pulse. but unfortunately, i left one of my coolant hoses on my old engine, which i sold. so hopefully ill have her running tomorrow. ill make sure to get a video

[bigarms23]

congrats

[md_530]

atta boy

[Zs Confederate Toy]

Nice!! That didnt seem to take that long. You are gonna have quite the rig now

[Sparkplug]

Hell yeah, gonna be nice

[87hillbillyoter]

well she started up, but she doesnt keep running. i got a video but i couldnt find the cord to upload it

[BoG-ToY]

afm issues? normally a start but wont run means the fuel pump is turning off becuase the AFM isnt telling it to stay on, when you turn the key on it fills the system, but empties if the AFM doesnt keep the fuel pump running

 Take a look at this link, should tell you what you need to know.

Edit: Did you even put the intake on yet? I don't see it in the last pictures.

[87hillbillyoter]

well that would make sense, i had it plugged in but the intake wasnt connected to the engine

[91 ex-cab]

There you go. Once the intake is hooked up that should be problem solved.

[87hillbillyoter]

[91 ex-cab]

I've done the same thing before. The best part was trying to give it gas to keep it going

[87hillbillyoter]

well, came home, slapped the intake on, and it ran. didnt run all that great, but it ran. it had a huge stutter. but anyways, i tightened up the exhaust, and then it wouldnt start again. any ideas

[md_530]

Did it want to fire at all or just crank and nothing
