ThePog Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I just checked, the timing is stupidly far advanced. Good work team. I will check that shit now. I am super dumb about ecu stuff, what effect will bridging the pins have? Where the fuck is the port as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Port will be near strut tower by air intake pipe probably. Will say DIAGNOSTIC or similar The way those old EFI systems work is that the distributor will just send a spark at a set timing point unless it receives a timing override signal from the ECU. Bridging those terminals stops the signal from getting to the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 You'll have to get your cams in the right place relative to the crankshaft. There's practically no way someone has adjusted the distributor so far when compensating for belt wear as to put the timing out by like 15 degrees. Bridging and unbridging those connections gives instant result for locking/unlocking the timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notch at tdc on the crank pulley, the hole and notch line up at the top. Should I bridge and release that timing thingy, and will it bring the timing back? How would it have gotten so far out?

ThePog Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have an E1 but the closest to T1 is Te1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yeah, some are TE and some are T. Timing should be set to like 10 deg btdc with the TE1 and E1 bridged. There may be a sticker on your bonnet that gives the exact number for your vehicle config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Also, probably best to not listen to a single thing I say as I am neither a Toyota Mechanic nor do I currently own one of these fantastic engines. EDIT: can confirm that manual I linked to says 10 deg with TE1 and E1 bridged 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Well I did that and the timing was set to very far advanced, maybe 25-30 deg. It was rotated as far one way as it could go. I have reset it to 10 deg and will go for a drive.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ok so more fuckery on this. We replaced the spark plugs and the coolant sensor. It started and ran sweet so she drove it to its spot and parked overnight. She went to start it the next day and it turns over but no go. The turn over sortof sounds like a timing thing as it slows pretty quick and sounds a bit laboured. I pulled the battery out and charged it up than left it and it was showing over 13v after a day so probably good. I will check for spark next but does anyone have an opinion? @ajg193?
