What's wrong with my 2JZ? Mon, 21 February 2005 14:20 Go to previous message
I'm having an intermittent problem with my 2JZ-GTE which has come out of nowhere. I'll be driving along and for no reason the engine will splutter and misfire, and it gets progressively worse until it's nearly undriveable within about a minute. The engine idles roughly like it's dropped a cylinder, and whenever I open the throttle even a small amount the engine dies completely, as if I've switched off the ignition. When I let go of the throttle and it goes back to idling. It behaves exactly like my old 6M-GE when the AFM plug fell off, but the 2JZ doesn't have an AFM!

This has happened a few times now in the last week, and in each case the engine started up and ran fine after I let it rest for about an hour. I haven't touched anything on the engine or electrical system recently so it can't be anything I've done. My initial thought was a problem with the MAP sensor, but disconnecting that causes the engine to die completely, it won't even idle.

One other strange thing I noticed when I was limping the car home today - the tacho was flickering rapidly between 1800 and 2000rpm, even though I was cruising at a steady 60km/h. This suggests erratic readings from the ECU, but what could cause this?

Any suggestions appreciated, this one's got me stumped!
