ShaggyZ Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Mike, I don't see anywhere that you responded to stony's suggestion to check your timing. I believe timing was the exact same reason streetfighter's 2JZ kept overheating when he first got it going. It would start up and run fine so we had plenty of time to hunt down the issue but we never checked the timing; a week of frustration for him as he finished up other parts and he finally got Justin Ninny(?) to recheck the base tune and found the timing was all out of wack. The overheating stopped and he picked up over 100HP or so before they really got to work on the tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 right now it doesnt run well enough to check timing Mike, I don't see anywhere that you responded to stony's suggestion to check your timing.

neotech84 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 right now it doesnt run well enough to check timing What??? I understand what you mean, but have you made sure all is lined up no advance just stock marks??? I would think that is one of the first places to start, its free and it will rule out one more thing...... But if you have then good for you and I missunderstood what you ment. Hope that makes sence. +.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 oh ya everything was set when the motor was on the engine stand. top dead center ect... the motor ran great a few weeks ago but now is stumbles and dies after it starts.

stony Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is it still pump out black smoke? Have you tried to lean it out and it dosnt work?? if so you may have an injector problem. As for timing PUT A TIMING GUN ON IT and check it. check your cam sprockets is you have them they are know for becoming loose and fully retarding or advancing cant remember which. Again i would recommend taking back to another shop that can get a base tune done for you. it will be cheaper in the end especially if it has issues.

Meph Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 fuel pump/ lack of fuel could would be a reason for that to happen too. Check your lines, make sure there isnt a pinch, check your filter. You chould pull your return line off and put it over the filler on the cell and cycle the fuel pump, make sure its feed fuel nice. Injectors could be clogged, they have a little screen filter on them too if you take them off and clear it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 OK now post some video of it running right. is it still overheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 NO MORE OVERHEATING...... found the problem was my gauge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it wasnt set u right for the toyota temp sensor so it gave a false reading. car runs at idol very nicely we have run it a temp for long periods of time with no hoses failing or oil leaks!!! it revs nicley until 2500rpms it feels like hit hits a rev limiter. but since we can heat up the motor not we found a intake leak behnf the trottlebody that i need to fix!
