Hey all

Had a search through other posts but couldn't find any that explained my problem.

95% of the time the car drives perfectly. This morning she wouldn't rev at all, wasn't flat footing it, just normal everyday driving style and she kept cutting out till i shifted into 3rd and than the problem went away. Happened everytime i stopped at lights ie 1st and 2nd coughing and spluttering than 3rd and above normal. Checked that the AFM is plugged in, boost guage reads 12 PSI with no boost spiking running a normal bleed valve.

When i drove home from work earlier today (sore back, don't ask) she drove like nomral. Only happened when i was almost home and gave her a bit, wouldn't rev past 4K and kept on cutting out. Looked at the boost guage and was sitting at 12 PSI.

Got a mate round to show him and car drove normally. Revved past 4K and pulled strongly through all gears.

Also it would seem that my bleed valve isn't working. I have the thing shut so that it should be at the stock boost pressure but she's still reading 12 PSI. Could that be it ???

Finally i recently installed a Hybrid bolt on intercooler kit. 600 X 300 X 76. Now my bonnet won't shut properly as we had to remove the centre bit to install the intercooler. We knocked up a peice of metal to hold the latch in place but it won't pop the hood unless someone is pulling it up and it moves up and down in the wind as i am driving

Any ideas as to these problems?

Thanks

I remember my 3SGTE was so shit, in stock form, it just got worse and worse, till finally, I wondered if it would even make it the short drive to the workshop where I was having an aftermarket ECU installed.

I never thought about it much again because the car was alive and double the power of ever before after the tune. I was half expecting to be told the engine was dead.

I am amazed how many people have problems related to running rich, as I did and don't just get an aftermarket ecu of some sort. SAFC if you have a low budget.

One thing leads to another when you run rich, you'll use more fuel, you'll block up your cat, etc.

Just get an safc and a tune, if not one better and get a full aftermarket ecu, make sure you have NO boost leaks. get rid of you bleed valve if you have it shut.

Now it won't rev past 4.5 at full throttle. Starts spluttering and coughing. 3/4 and she revs to about 4700 but keeps cutting out. At half throttle however it revs out to 7 no problem. Any ideas as to what could be the problem. Installed some iridium plugs today but this problem is annoying me.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
