How to Get 1uzfe to start first time

[pampoen]

So just wondering if you 1uz guys have had this problem. Regardless of whether my vehicle is hot or cold, i takes at least 4 or 5 turns to start. It's not bad, but i would like it to start first time like all the other Toyota's ive had. Do i need to connect the idle control valve up to the Spitronics? Anyway, help would be much appreciated.

hi
yes connect the idle control up it would make a difference and also try and play with your start prime pulse on your settings ive found that sometimes if there is to much feul when crancking it takes longer to start

Just a stupid question, i have the idle control, just not the idle control plug. Could i make one up? And can someone tell me where to plug into in the ECU, im using the Spitronics Venus ECU with EMU computer for autobox. I do have the spitronics wiring diagrams but unsure which one to use. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey Kaspaas

Yup it has been about 3 or 4 years since i sold my old hilux with the 7mge. I just bought a 1987 SFA double cab with a lexus v8 2 months ago, so ust getting her shipshape. I want to put some piccies up actually. Must just work out how to sync my iphone to windows to upload. Anyways it good to be back on the forum again.

Nice truck!!

Is that a ex-forum member's Lux?

I did a total rebuilt of my 7M two years back, and I'm more pleased than ever.
In hind sight I could have done a 1UZ conversion for way less moola, (to rebuild a 7M back to standard is m#@r expensive!)

Searched for 6 months to find a crank that has not been cut for example.
(PS: @ R1100 per piston from Toyota is crazy! )

Enjoy the V8, glad to have a old face back!!
