Gordon F Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 As they only stick a probe up the exhaust(!) for a mot, the lambda figure must be from the test machine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 Yep, that's correct, probe up the exhaust pipe. I'll try what Martin suggested and bypass the VSV for the fuel pressure regulator. Just excuse me for being stupid though when I ask what a VSV is!! Let you know tomorrow how I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Well that's an easy one. The VSV (Vaccum Switching Valve) is the only thing inbetween that vaccum pipe attached to the fuel pressure regulator and the inlet manifold. i.e. FPR->VSV->Inlet Manifold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Right, got to the bottom of it.....I think! Had it analysed by Clive Atthowe in Norwich and the O2 Sensor isn't changing it's output (about 0.3V) no matter what you do with the throttle or put down its throat. Trouble is that our friendly local Toyota dealer says the uk and J-spec O2 sensors are different. Anyone know for sure? Mine has 3 wires coming out of it which go all the way to a plastic connector at the front of the engine. The other thing the Toyota Dealership said was that it would take about ten days to get one from Belgium!!(£121 + VAT) Any ideas, Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Yep Jap Spec and UK Spec oxygen sensors are different part numbers. UK Spec 89465-19605 Jap Spec 89466-20020 Parts from Belgium don't usually take 10 days more like 3-5days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Good old Dingles, new owners of our previously fairly friendly Toyota dealership. Looks like we're no longer welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I have had parts come from Belgium, and they came within the week. The parts coming form South Africa take a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
