Tried another MAP sensor this morning, made no difference. The problem slightly improves with the map sensor vacuum line disconnected.
Had a bit of a look at the wiring loom, seems the conversion was a bit of a hatchet job (this is my mates car, not mine). There is no diagnostic connector where it should be and I can't find any connector matching what I'm lookign for, I take it that it is grey like other toyota diagnostic connectors?
Wiggling the loom itself near the computer seemed on a few occaisions to make the idle jump around but now that effect seems to have disappeared, so I suspect I've either reconected previously dubious connections to the main ECU plugs, or permanently severed them, no difference in the running of the car still though.
I'm starting to get to the end of my rope now, I'm still plodding through it though, I think I'll start tracing the location of where the diagnostic plug should be by following the loom or failing that, just make the connection at the ECU instead.
Which brings me to my next problem... check engine light? what check engine light, the oil light doesn't work (although the guage does) and there is no seperate check engine light I can see anywhere on the australian spec dash. Can someone give me a location description of where it is.
Failing that, I guess I can make a check engine light from the ECU as well. If anyone has any suggestions or questions, any help would be greatly appreaciated, I was hoping to have this car running again by today so my friend could use it over the weekend for house hunting.
I'm more than willing to supply details/digital photos of any items that people have questions about. In short, I'm *VERY* open to any input.
