Problem solved, excess vacuum inside the intake manifold.

4agze gurus: Anyone have any idea what may be causing this sound? It’s coming from the intake manifold on a ae101 4agze map model engine. Sounds like a pipe trying to suck up fluid.. please note engine always has an air filter on it just removed to record the video. Only makes the noise on idle after cold start knocks off. Seems to disappear when’s revs are on an comes back when revs drop. video: https://youtu.be/_u0iICeAu_c

No 3sge although it was a serious consideration, its quite a tall motor and i would have had a few clearance issues ect.. How ever i did do this in December when i got back from Mexico.

Problem solved! Black and white wire was the answer, has 12v only when in the start position. Admin delete if required

Hey team, I'm just finishing up the wiring on a 4agze. Ive got one of the easy wire looms. It basically goes like this.. 4agze loom 5 wires, 3 of them I need to hook up to my factory ignition switch which has four wires so should be pretty straight forward 1. Blk/red wire on factory ignition switch has constant power with ignition on and off and doesn't lose power when starter cranks - I've hooked this up to yellow constant wire on 4agze loom with 5a inline fuse. 2. Blk/white wire on factory ignition switch Has 12v when ignition starter cranks. 3. Blk/yellow on factory ignition switch Has 12v when ignition is on in acc's position and drops to about 9v when starter cranks. 4. Blu/red on factory ignition switch Has 12v with ignition on and drops to 0v when starter cranks. and finally we arrive to my question, there is a small black wire on the 4agze loom which is the starter signal for the ecu I assume this is for the cold start injector.. Basically I'm just after confirmation which wire I should hook into on my factory ignition switch for it to get the right signal when the starter is cracking over? The two wires on the 4agze loom I havnt mentioned are for the alternator and fuel pumps so don't need any info on these. cheers! - matt

Cheers Cletus, I'd just be getting the engine mounts and rubbers not the gearbox crossmember

Has anyone applied for an exemption through NZTA when no plates or previous history of registration in NZ are available for the vehicle? Got my change of ownership letter of interest for the police but still can find out what my celicas old plates were.. Got told that if i cant find and history on my car then i can apply for an exemption at $184 p/h to process with no guarantees that it will be approved or how many hours it might take.. Cheers in advance
