Hi Guys,

Last nite i was adjusting the timing on my celica and i slipped and broke some sensor.

It is located on the water inlet piece on the side of the engine, just infront of the bolt that holds the dizzy.

It is a little green sensor with two wires going in to it. I am not sure what it is or does, but the car now has trouble starting and the check engine light stays on.

Once the car is running though, it runs and idles fine.

Any ideas?

What you have broken is the Water Temp Sensor. You can get a replacement one from Bursons for about $3-$5.

Check your diagnostic codes first. To do so locate the diagnostic port and bridge terminals TE-1 and E1 with a peice of wire as shown.

Turn the key to IGN but dont start it and your CHECK ENGINE LIGHT should be flashing. To get the codes you need to count the flashes.

It will flash in a series eg for a diagnostic code of 42 it will flash like this:

---- = pause

*** = flash

(Turn key to IGN) ---*---*---*---*-------------------------*---*--- then will start again and continue untill you reset the ECU.

Once you find what the problem code is, which Im sure will be 22, lettuce know otherwise.

Code 22 means Short or Open circuit in Water Temp Sensor which basically means you'll need a new sensor.

After you have rectified the problem you have to cancel out the code of your diagnostics. To 'cancel' the code out of the ECU's memory simply remove the EFI fuse from the fuse box (located in engine bay) for 20 seconds and all should be better.

Goodluck

I did the ECU code thing.

I got the following. *___*_*___*_*___*_*

Looked it up in the workshop manual and couldn't find it, or find what the part is.

Strange thing is, besides the car not starting properly when cold and the light being on, it runs perfectly, all the instruments work, etc.

It still starts perfectly when hot, just is a ***** when its cold.

below is a pic of the broken sensor

Hrmmz yeah thats definantley the Water Temp sensor.... head down to Bursons and get a replacement sender. They are a pr*ck of a thing to get off so take your time with it and use alot of WD-40 or the like.

About the code your getting could you space it out coz its sorta hard to interpret.

If its consistant like this ---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*--- etc then thats fine and theres nothing recorded in the ECU.

If its like this ---*---*------*---*------------------*---*------*---*---- which is what I think you put up then yeah thats a code 22.

I would think by replacing the sender then everything should be okay...

Lettuce know how you go.

BURSONS aaarrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They sell the same one for about $5

Just ask them for the Wate Temp sensor for the 5S-FE/3S-GE ,or which ever engine you have, then they should have them in stock.

But if you want to spend more then you have to go ahead... :(

Give Repco, Conventry/Thompsons a try. Repco would be cheaper.

I picked two sensors up from the wreckers, as repco/autobarn/supercheap didn't have any in stock.

One off a 4S-FE (corona) and one off a 5S-FE (camry)

Put the one from the corona in, reset the ECU and it all works perfectly now.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
