1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It's really good, a little slow at first but once you get into it, it's just as good as Breaking Bad in it's own way. Not quite as flashy as BB got to be at times but the character's story lines are even better IMO.

 

My vote is for Twin Peaks. Crazy, drug doing writers had to that show.

 

@eon_blue if you are still worried about smogging your truck w a hacked tail pipe, dont be. All toyotas 2000 n up get smog tested via computer not the tail pipe

My ECU is toasted from a short to positive in the crank position harness (one of the only RF shielded circuits in the Taco loom). Anyhow there is a series of resistors and diodes used to clean the dirty ass waveform that produces so one of the processing ADCs can deal with it. I either friend the diodes and resistors or the ADC, I dunno. I don't really wanna go through the ECU with a logic probe and fix it myself because I need to rely on it to take me to the middle of nowhere and back so if anything is else is fucky that would come back and bite me.

 

The cruiser despite being OBD I is very good at letting me know what's bothering it. Like right now I can tell it wants the IAC recentered or cleaned because it is gradually stepping the idle up and down by a 100 to center itself and the AC idle up goes to 1200 before settling at 900, which it can usually target 900 and hit it dead on. It's overdue for a recenter anyway, hopefully that does it cause I don't wanna clean it right now.

 

awesome

 

Have you watched the show Ozark's?

 

not yet but it's on my list, I hear it's good

Rectify was another really good one that I binge watched recently

 

Watched it a couple days ago, it's really not my style and I don't like the directors choice to forget red is a color

 

I mean, it’s $20 I can just not eat for a week.

 

How did the short happen?

 

I have not. I heard about it.

 

Alt accessory bracket got loose and pinched it, it runes behind there ususally

 

Ouch. How did you determine it was the ECU that went bad?

 

After I found the issue with the wiring and that didn't solve the problem immediately I opened the ecu and follow the trace from the pins associated with the position sensor. Can feel it get fucking super hot by hand, and temp probed says over 130 degrees, that ain't normal

 

That’s unfortunate. So you’re looking for a new one?

 

Found a new/old one. It's on its way, we'll see. It is a first month ECU haha, so there aren't a lot like it still out there

 

@BartMaster1234

If I cannot get a working old ECU, I'll buy the wiring and ECU from an 01-04 model and graft it into my truck, then I can have coil on plug and sequential injection too

 

So your 1996 is distributor, right? When did they go to coil on plug?

 

95-97.5 is distributor, 97.5-00 is dual coil pack wasted spark, 01-04 is individual coil on plug
