05 Tacoma, crank no start -SOLVED-

if you buy a mag blower get it from urd because they have a ton of stuff to help it out. I had one on my 3.4 and it was really great for moving the 37s around. Made it feel normal again after I put the big wheels on it

 

Will do, out of curiosity what sort stuff to help it out, must haves so to speak?

 

Unfortunately yes and it's still not fun after the manifold is removed.

Different pulleys, give you different boost, ucon management system really helps. From what I remember the screw type blowers don't have a ton of aftermarket stuff other then pulleys but with a ucon you can get a custom tune for your setup and it adjusts fantastically on the fly. I'm having an issue with mine right now so I already emailed gadget to see what I need to do. Plus tech support from urd is known far and wide as some of the best

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

Probably a bad time to mention I have big hands. I remember installing the knock sensor and those coolant tubes. It was a pain in the neck. Glad to know I have to do it again

 

I mean there's the possibility of a wire being broken elsewhere or a bad sensor but by far the most common thing is mice chewing the wires in the valley.

 

I guess this is probably another reason it's running like garbage currently. It stalls out if I put it in drive and give it gas. So one step at a time

 

I'll just buy a replacement and install it. Anything worth doing is worth doing right

 

I'm going to keep you updated @Dm93 slowly work on it over the weekends when I have time. You guys are absolutely amazing and a god send to the community. I seriously wish you lived closer haha

 

Most people with knock sensor codes only report worse fuel mileage and slightly lower power so thats likely unrelated to your stalling.
So many factors to consider with it being modified and also not running for over 5 years I wouldn't really know where to begin other than get the old gas out and get some good gas in it.

 

Make sure you torque it correctly, proper torque is crucial on knock sensors.
And I'd use OEM if you can.

 

I meant the harness. I hope I don't have to remove the knock sensor itself

 

@Torspd is sitting a 475whp and 550wtq

 

I thought he had a blue one with a customer engine block that was over 500

 

Also thanks for your help man. It's still an ongoing project but at least it ran for the first time in years after three dealerships and a specialty shop gave up on it

 

Idk how many times this weekend I had literally no idea what I was doing or what wires did what but I can follow directions pretty decently haha

 

Knock sensor is 15 ft/lbs

 

I think his maybe be stroked.
The number above are wheel HP.
So it’s making at least 500+ at the crank.

 

It wasn’t easy.
But it wasn’t exactly hard was it.

It’s all in whether or not you want to learn how to figure it.
I think a lot people just don’t want to put in the effort.

@Dm93 is a wizard. He does this stuff every day.
I only do things when stuff breaks.
I’ve said it a lot. The only reason I work on my own stuff is because I’m to “cheap” to pay someone else.
I don’t like working on vehicles. I just do it to save myself some money.
