plus 2nd gen engine will not run without the AFM in the loop

good job bryan!! im glad everything worked out! who woulda knew you would get the car running so quick!! imma tell my boys to look at the vids asap...show them what a BEAST looks like...(the vids arent pulling up on this comp, but when we have our meet tonight i'll tell them about it!)

it ended up being the throttle cable was too tight, and was mounted a little crooked so it was too tight + leaned to the left, after installing DG's bracket and loosening the cable it idles at 1100-1200 now sounds MUCH better and most of the problems seemed to be because of it (shaking when turning the car off)

once it warms up it starts to go down to 800-900 and then i think its not getting the o2 readout so it pulls back up.

still have a power steering leak, that will be fixed tomorrow hopefully.

what temperature is the 3sgte thermostat? how much diff from the 7afe one? because my temp gauge in the car barely reads higher when its warmed up, we tested the sensor and it does work, my friends just assume its because the 3sgte has a higher temp thermostat.

lookin good

the temp gauge should sit around the middle when warmed up .


if you going to replace it, make sure u get a brand new toyota one with a new gasket.

what needs to be replaced the gauge or the thermostat?

i dont really know what your seeing... but based on what you said i guess the thermostat.

how long should it take to reach the center?

Depends when I first did my swap it took for ever for it to reach the center. Now it takes about 5 mins or so.

^^^ yap same...about 5 min or less with mine on a nice warm day. anywhere from 5-10 min when its cold out.

bboy

i highly recomend the trd lower thermostat for better cooling!!!
i think it is a 160 degree
