legendswraith Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its a possibility but it feels more engine based to me as the original fault was and still is to a smaller extent there on free revving. The soundclip i posted is actually revving the car in neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendswraith Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_200412_TOYOTA_ARISTO_JZS161-BEPVZ_8410.3.html?hl=89411C as in that speed sensor i assume? Would that affect it in neutral as well? come to think of it i have seen the speedo needle to funky things recently could this be another symptom of it being suspect?

dangerous brain Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 There is indeed two speed sensors. Have you got any ECU fault codes at all? Alot of 2JZ problems are caused by dodgy speedo conversions and the fact that your speedo needle is doing the trip fantastic I'd take the speedo conversion out of the equation.

legendswraith Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well its not the trip fantastic but i have seen it jump an 2 occasions, is it worth taking out the SLD as well do you think as that intercepts a signal off the speed sensor. Wouldn't have a clue as to where the speedo conversion gubbins is housed tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would agree with Bryan , the next step after this would be to change your crank sensor, a faulty sensor would produce alot of strange symptoms . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have a clue as to where the speedo conversion gubbins is housed tbh Can be anywhere between the speedo itself to the speed sensor. Usual suspect places are directly behind the speedo cluster or under the gear stick trim. After that it could be near the ecu in the passenger footwell.

legendswraith Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well taking the SLD out had no effect whatsoever so i'll have a hunt for the converter. The 161 ecu is in the engine bay, or are you talking about another ecu box? I suspect the converter is behind the cluster as i detest taking them out so its bound to be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 ECU in the engine bay now isn't that a better place for it. Yeah I would bet on the converter being behind the speedo cluster as well. Have you run an engine diagnostic yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ARISTO TT Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 any update on this ,did you manage to get it sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I sorted it for Austen, it's OK now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendswraith Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes it all got sorted Chris pointed out my buffoonery . What it turned out to be (correct me if i am wrong Chris) the walbro i had put in did not fit properly which pushed the retaining cap off the bottom. Due to this when the pump was working the fuel pressure was pushing it off the connectors, this caused the pump to only produce 14psi at the rail which was a tad under. Basically my problem was because i had fitted the pump i discounted it immediately as functioning correctly never thought to check the pressure. As a wise man said if i had treated it like an a series mini and looked for fuel and a spark at the right time and in the right quantity i wouldnt have faffed about so much. Live and learn though and many thanks to Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i was just going to say message robert hes the aristo man! seem like he already has posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Glad it's all sorted, at a modest cost. In all fairness you did a very competent job at diagnosis, and things conspired to make you believe it was something more complex. Lovely cars, yors being a particularly nice example. I am still trying to get "`er indoors" to consider one. If they made an estate version the job would be sorted. A Nissan Stagea just isn't quite the same build quality, but that seems where we are heading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Amazingly underated vehicle the aristo. Cheap as chips now as well. Quite literally supra acceleration with BMW 5 series luxury for mondeo money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendswraith Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well after 7 weeks of waiting i finally got the car back from the bodyshop, and to say the least i am not best pleased. The reglassed bonnet does not close properly so i am going to have to pin it to make it look ok, the roof they replaced they sprayed but anything other than that around the roof like little nicks and dents they didn't bother with, bolts from the headlights were missing and i had to ask for more to be put in and a rear tint is ruined. Basically they have done the bare minimum possible to do the repair and the guy had the cheek to chuck a strop when i told him the bonnet was gash and tell me to leave it and he'd get a standard one fitted. Well after 7 weeks i just took the car mainly because i am sick of waiting for it but also because i don't want my car in their care. Think i will be complaining to the insurance over the quality of their bodyshops. However so its not all one sided the spraying that was done (what little of it there is) was good and it matched well and the guy who glassed the bonnet wasn't really happy with it but i think he was following the party line. So if you want my advice i would avoid Smith and Hughes in Nuneaton for work on anything thats imported or different, i really would not recommend them for anything. I'll probably take it to Vidak in Nuneaton to sort it out properly i just hope they do a better job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
