2002 tacoma race build

HUGE hanks goes out to jason (jberry) for the fuel pump. Got the truck running today to find out the fuel pump isn't pushing shit. Soon!!!!

 

What was the issue with no spark ?

 

Pin 9 on the ignition module wasn't receiving any power. Chased the wire back to the cab and it ends up in a connector that is no longer used. Applied switched voltage to it when the key is in the on position, fucker turned right over with some carb cleaner into the intake. Injectors were tested and are pulsing. Only thing left is the fuel pump isn't picking up as it should.

 

Oh cool , also make sure it's not you fuel pressure regulator , That could also cause low fuel pressure

 

It is telling me in the manual that if it's bad the whole plenum has to be removed. Their joking right?! I just want it to run!

 

Yeah it's under the intake manifold

 

Well today should be the day. Fuel pump came in the mail ( thanks again jberry) and replumbed the cell disconnected overflow and fuel came pouring back into the overflow line. Looks like the fuel regulator is 100% shot. Picking one up today after class.

 

Not necessarily, at idle you will be getting quite a bit of return fuel , easy trick is to try pinching the return line and see if that helps

 

Well fuel pressure regulator allowed her to fire right up and even drove her outta the shop. In need of a serious alignment and cannot figure out why my diagnostic lights like the cel light up, but no rpm or speedo. Also once it warmed up it started stumbling and threw and iac circuit code. Bah!

 

Hmm. I've checked all connectors numerous times but it doesn't hurt to do it once more. I'll go through the truck today and verify I'm all plugged in. May have a lead on an IAC for 70 bucks so we will see.

 

Tada!!! She runs and idles now. Woot!!! Seats then it's test run time

 

Ended up being the throttle position and iac valve were both shot. Lesson learned. Drive it up and down harbison canyon. She rides nice.

 

well the truck is up for sale.

taxes fucked me this year and i cannot afford to have as many toys as i want to (go figure). she runs, she drives, just needs seats and the registration taken out of non- op.

if interested in purchasing please drop me a pm.

 

after all this work

just keep it

 

i wish i had that option.. but i keep this truck and loose my livelyhood, or sell it and build another later. its just a material thing after all
