@@TopSecretProTuning This may be a long shot, I have another wee project, it's a 2.5 subaru legacy engine and want to do an engine transplant with it, do the same ecu principles apply, have you any advice on this one?
You indeed a great engineer. Please help me! Recently, a client called me to fix his 2000 Toyota Avalon car that cranked but wasn't starting. From the onset, the car experienced several mechanical, as well as, electrical issues. Some of those problems were:- (1) Engine Oil consumption; (2) Engine misfire; (3) Engine rattling; (4) Intermittent hard starting after shutdown; (5) Hard to engage in drive, except engine is hot; etc. Hence, he took the car to a garage inorder to rectify the excessive Engine oil consumption and other car problems highlighted above. Consequently, the car problems exacerbated after engine rebuild by the engineer! The car owner wasn't satisfied with his repairs because it seems the engineer was deceitful. Although the car started after the rebuild, the problems still persisted. Valves weren't grinded after engine overhaul, engine still misfired at idle and when accelerating, etc. The engineer whose garage the car is presently being parked, requested for another engine overhau/ rebuildl. After engine rebuild the car started, the oil was mixed with water; the engine was still misfiring, rattling, etc. It was obvious, that he didn't use durable parts to do his work. Hence, the car owner moved the car to another garage for better repairs. The new garage suggested to the car owner that another engine rebuild is pertinent for optimal engine operation. During my conversation with this engineer, whose garage the car is presently being parked, he told me that: "when the car was first brought in, he noticed a black smoke ( maybe he was mistaken for blue smoke, at exhaust tail at idle). When accelerating, there's a loss of power, engine bucking, popping,etc. After the rebuild, the car didn't start because the mechanic didn't unlock the car with the remote but proceeded directly to cranking the engine. In addition, the security relay wasn't actuated for starting to take place. Electrician did some wire cutting around that axis which he said was corrected to factory, opened with a remote before the car started. Fortunately, after everything, the car started again. But there was still an intermittent misfire. What the car owner said was that, 'even when the second mechanic did engine rebuild, the car still misfired. Until he personally bypassed earth from the COP wire to the solenoids very close to the fuel injector often tightened with 10mm knot and depicted with blue and green colors on the picture. Car owner verified that the reasons for the misfire from both mechanics which still prevailed, was due to the solenoid valve that wasn't opening. That's why when accelerating it experienced a loss of power, similar to that experienced by a faulty fuel pump. After gear oil replacement and test driven by the second mechanic , smoke started emanating from the engine bay. Precisely, from the fan relay that the car owner connected by himself. Within few minutes, the car shutdown by itself as if fuel is finished. As he tried to restart it, the car refused to. Infact, when the ignition switch was turned to Acc/ ignition position, battery and fuel light was not displaying in the dashboard/ instrument cluster. However, during cranking battery light glew faintly and start. But when throttled, it would shutdown. Electrician verified and replaced the alternator diode with a new one. When Ignition switch was turned to Acc/ ignition position, the battery and other lights came out brightly but when cranked to start engine wouldn't start again. Sadly, it still wouldn't start. I tried to scan for DTC codes, but my scanner wasn't communicating. I checked all fuses, power and ground at obd port, those checked ok. but my scanner isn't compatible to read CAN network. there are only 4 wires intact for the obd2 port. Furthermore, I added fuel through the intake to the engine, no change at all. I checked for spark and injector pulse. These things weren't present. But there was power to injector with just the key at ignition or ACC and COP had 1 ground and 1 power as usual. Electrician from that garage, who also worked on the car said that he sniffed burning smell from the ECU, however personally I didn't when I went to start the car. I don't know how certain that was. Hence, I pulled out the ECU to a laptop board engineer to test the components inside. He said: "everything looks ok and test fine, however the IC he doesn't have the right tools to proceed with the test. With the ECU removed battery connected, Engine light would come ON. with ECU connected check light still comes ON. Before I left, I checked the MAF sensor 5 wires and noticed that 3 wires were earth instead of 2 and 1 power; no ignition current/ power was available for the remaining 2 wires. Please, what should I do to start the car?
Awesome video, I followed all the same wiring as you, but I don’t have injector pulse, I do have spark as the engine will fire with starting fluid. any chance you could help thanks
I wish I had one of those to test what signals are out putting into the brain I bet it's something simple that could be bypassed like ground 5 volt that kinda stuff if so there is a 5 volt out from the brain and ground and maybe a relay on ignition maybe next video take a meter or probe that measures signal and make a check still ain't figure out how to get dash speed signal tho have a good day pall
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on where to find those cam gears? Iv'e been looking for a decent aftermarket set of VVT-i cam gear's for awhile!
Hey TopSecretGarage... My IMMO at the key device, there are two boxes. One has 5 wires, and I have those hooked up. What about the two wires (both blue) coming out of the smaller box? It looks like this is the box that detects the key being inside the tumbler and that the key has been turned. What pins do those wires go to??? My 2J turns over but won't start!
@@SwiftlyGuyver_ No. I wound up purchasing another ECU from a manual IS300, that came with the matching key. STILL didn't get it to fire up. I will admit, I may have been doing something wrong. I wound up purchasing a Link ECU. This company offers NATS delete. You have to send them your ecu for the service. www.hexagarage.com/schassis-vq/ecu-nats-removal Also, please remember... I have never used this service so I can't comment on their reliability. Good luck!
I have a JZZ30 1jz non vvti engine with auto trans. The engine shuts off when when taken out of gear switching to neutral or park. Do you have any idea what I need to do fix this?
Thanks for the videos brother. I just got a GE vvti with automatic ecu from the yard. Got no keys though. What should I do? 1. Will the automatic ecu work to manual trans if I want to convert it. 2. Should I buy a new ecu without the immobilizer. Hard to find manual ge ecu, will gt/e ecu work with ge engine? 3. If I change ecu, should I also change harness? So hard to mod or upgrade here in cali. So jdms will not pass smog. Thanks again and your help will be greatly appreciated.
I was able to get an ecu with keys from 01is300 hoping I can easily follow your video but the harness in my 98gs300engine have more wires and different colors. There is the white with black and the black with red but the rest is different.

Very informative.. nice Hey bro .. I have gs300 motor with harness , key and ecu . Can you make wiring for me just to start the engine I will pay you . I can send the immobilizer key and ecu . Can I have your email address .by the way I’m one of your subscriber. Thanks
Just got my 2JZ GE engine transplant fired up tonight, thanks to your video, cheers buddy...
Awesome💪

Open up the ECU and see if it has any leaking capacitors or burnt areas on the board.
Ulises bro, these videos were the best.
Thank you man for this wonderful information
Great vid as always. You're the man keep doing your thing
Very helpful video. tnx for video.
Great info. Keep up the great work!
Estoy haciendo un proyecto igual a ese, ya conecte como lo haces tú pero no tengo chispa en los coils pero si tienen señal en el plug

I have a 04 Lexus is300 auto with immobilizer issue. Do you have pin out diagram on where and what plug to wire it too?
Hey brother can you do a 3sgte start up
Hey I have to sponsor you soon! This is very informative.
Thanks you for the video
Good info I was able to get my car started but for some reason I’m having no power to my tps apps or tcm even tho I have 12v to BM+ please help
Just a ffup from my previous inqry. With a new ecu should I change harness too?
Thanks and more power and blessings come to you.
🔥🔥Been waiting for a video lol...
Could I possible get a close up in the three wires you match up on the immobilizer side my wire colors are different than yours
I'm swapping a 2jzge into my Mercedes 300ce, would like to know if you can help me with the wiring. Im located in Florida as well.
Can you show as abut te gauges RPM WATER TEMP LOW OIL
and abut the batt +b main raley ignition switch
i have 2001 gs300 2jz ge engine with immobilizer lost key can i bypass it
or is there a ecm without immobilizer for it
disculpe que cables uso de los que van para el dash como elimino los que no ocupo. gracias
Un vídeo en español latino porfa
No key / what now?
Need help with 95 jz80 ge where to wire up the o2sensor to the lower exhaust pipe
I wish I had one of those to test what signals are out putting into the brain I bet it's something simple that could be bypassed like ground 5 volt that kinda stuff if so there is a 5 volt out from the brain and ground and maybe a relay on ignition maybe next video take a meter or probe that measures signal and make a check still ain't figure out how to get dash speed signal tho have a good day pall
I need help with this exact same swap can you please help me with the wiring for this ecu and engine
Hermano puedes pasarlo en español y pasarme una diagrama de los cables
great jab can I ask you about RPM cable where is it or how can i find it?
It come from the igniter, it says TAC.
Compre un 2jze ge, para mi auto que se me jodio el anterior. es necesario hacer el immobilizer cuand cambias de motor?
Tendrás esa experiencia en español
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on where to find those cam gears? Iv'e been looking for a decent aftermarket set of VVT-i cam gear's for awhile!
I have a VVTI GTE ecu and harness. How can I tell if it requires an immobilizer? It will have that black box on the harness by the ecu?
It will have a 6th plug on the ecu
Good to know. Thumbs ☝

yes.
How would you turn it off with the key though? I have a 1jzgte rn it wont shut off with key
