Hi,
This is my first post here so please bear with me.
I have a bit unusual mod here in Thailan. It is a Hiace, where I put in a 1J engine a couple of years ago. My reasons was the bad performance of the Diesel engine, and the high repair costs (I blew a Cylinder head). And the fact that complete 1J engines are VERY cheap here (I bought mine for about 600 US$, with A/T, Power steering, A/C. Basically a "plug and play" engine).
I was quite satisfied with the conversion, but there are still minor things that bothers me. They are:
1. Bad fuel economy (doing about 7KM/l on highways).
2. Gear change "holes". (engine output drops when it changes gears).
3. Partly engine "cut-out" with rising engine temperatures.
I do not expect to get the fuel economy of a sedan, but I still think I "deserve" more.
The "holes" are annoying. I many cases, I loose speed when the engine changes to a higher gear. Then I have to kick-down and let it pick up speed so the rpms are sufficient for the higher gear.
Recently it started to have problems after a 100+ KM drive. The engine almost stalls. It will drive, but too much accellerator will cause the engine to cut out. That is a problem that came up not long ago, and was never there before. I have changed fuel filters, all the ECU relays, but the problem is still there.
I have just inspected the harness, and there is at least 1 wire cut, and 1 not connected. Looking for pin-outs/wire color codes has been unsuccessful (a 22-16-26 ECU), so I am really in need of help now.
Are any of you able to help me with some manual and point me in the right direction? I have decided to do the job myself because very few garages will even consider working on this Hiace (it is a bitch, almost no working space. I wonder how they managed to get the engine in there in the first place).
Chris
