Default 1jz up and running, sort of..

but when you start it up it dies. It'll do this about 3-5 times then run fine, sometimes it starts right up. What could this be?? It runs and drives fine, boosts and is quick. I love it!! Can anyone help me solve this minor issue.

Thanks

Could be a number of things. My car had a seriously rough idle before changing the spark plugs. Also check the connection on the MAP sensor.

Well now I could be wrong. After I got done washing my car, I pulled out leave and the car won't rev past 2000, and can't go above 15-20 mph. Everything is connected, checked map sensor. Could this be a fuel issue? Fouled plugs? I have no idea Can someone help.

No don't have anything to check, although I should. But after searching on SF, it seems to be fouled plugs, I hope so.

Your ICM could be bad. very common 1JZ problem. Easily soveable with a longer screw in the TB

Great going, now you can come down and bring it to Centerville and see what it will do. My buddy is supposed to be coming up from Orleans with his and see what these cars will run. I should have mine done mid next month and then we can all go wup some butt!

Enjoy the bbbooossstttt!
