project 1mz celica, 94 gt starting a new life Options

[95CelicaST]

ECU number is 89661-06331


EGR all hooked up? Or blocked off?

Post up some clear pictures of your vac set up.

Trans codes you won't ever get to clear, unless you wanted to put some elaborate sensor in it's place. MR220V and I briefly discussed piggybacking off of the cam position sensor to give a pulse to the ECU for the transmission, but I went another path (Obviously).

I know on the 97+ Camry 1MZ's you can ground a pin on the ECU to put it into M/T mode. I don't know if the 97+ ES300 ECU is different. Shouldn't be, but I've seen weirder things...

^^^ the Solaras are supposed to do the same thing. ground a pin putting it in manual mode.

The camry/es300 is all the same
Ill post pics tonight when i get home

Or you could just chuck a junk tranny in the backseat and wire it up, that would solve your issues too

on second thought a tranny in the backseat doesnt sound pleasant LMAO

Yeah, that might get him in trouble with the wifey and law. But there has to be someway to get the ECU into manual mode, since some later 90's Camry/Solara have the V6 and manual from the factory. Unless they just used a different ECU, but I'd doubt that.

If there isnt then surely someone makes a chip you can plug in in place of the trans to simulate it.
Maybe we could design one and sell it.

What I've always seen done is using resistors in place of the transmission to fool the ECU. The trick is using the right resistors. But why bother when you can simply ground one pin on the ECU?

[kurt95gt]

Theres a plug i have to ground out a wire in to fix the auto trans


An the early 90s do use a different ecu because its a different motor lol

Kinda wishing i would have went with a 3vz there alot more simpler swap lol

[kurt95gt]

Well i grounded out the plug an that didnt change anything
i picked up the new maf sensor today an waiting for mr220v to sent me the repin info so everyone keep your fingers crossed this works cuz were running out of ideas

Oh an 95celicast ill post those pics tonight of the vac system
Bern super busy today

[95CelicaST]

Okie Dokie.

[Smaay]

dang i hope i dont have all these problems

[kurt95gt]

Do yourself the favor an learn from my mistakes lol

Hopefully it will be running. Right after mr220v sends me the repin info

[Smaay]

just keep all that info handy, im sure ill need it. i meant to look at what ECU i have. i know its a MT non immobilizer

[kurt95gt]

You might not run into some of the same problems that i have since your starting with a m/t computer
But all the info i have so far is here an up to date.

[Smaay]

did you change over to O2 sensors instead of AF sensors?

[kurt95gt]

No it still has all the stock sensors

[Smaay]

well that might be your problem. if you are using a MT ECU and have AF sensors in there. the AT came with AF sensors, the MT came with O2 sensors

[kurt95gt]

Im using a a/t ecu.
Honestly i didnt know there was a diffrence between the sensors

[kurt95gt]

So after 2hours of searching google trying to figure out the wiring difference in the mafs. Ive learned 1 thing
I suck at searching stuff on google. I didnt even find anything talkin about the wiring let alone how to swap from 1 to the other lol

Guess ill just wait for mr220v to send me the info
