i have tried evrything...as soon as it starts, the injectors stop running......no pulse........i took off the rocker cover to notice the cam sensor square magnet things broken off after i accidently put a 1zz-ge sensor in by mistake.....now i need a 2zz-ge camshaft too... car been like this for months....i have replaced so far.. tps idle valve vsv valve coolant temp sensor maf and new airbox fuel pump fuel injectors/rail crank sensor vvt sensors oil pressure switch coil packs spark plugs have replacement ecu but needs toyota workshop to code this to my key!!! ALL THIS STARTED AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL:(

thats your TPS (throttle position sensor)...the cam sensor is just under yout plastic engine cover, to the right of cylinder 4, (2 pin grey plug, and its bolted to the block with 2 10mm nuts....

Probably expect a reply tomorrow dude. The 2ZZ owners don't stay up past 8pm. Hehe I was up till 2 am last night but it was too cold to go outside and check =P 2am?? i not been bed all weekend....its never too cold.....i was pulling my intake camshaft out at 4 am..(portable floodlights are very warm).

Probably expect a reply tomorrow dude. The 2ZZ owners don't stay up past 8pm. lets hope.........i bet someone asks the question......."will doing this break my car or void my warranty"???

basically my sportivo stalls immediatly after starting...to cut a long long story shot ................ can a sportivo (or 2ZZ-GE) owner please unplug your cam position sensor (grey plug on far right of engine block kind of below injector #4......... simply unplug and tell me if car starts??? i want top see if this could be my problem?? (i tried this on my girlfriends 1zz-fe and it starts (after 3 tries) and runs? I AM HOPING THE 2ZZ-GE WONT RUN IF THIS IS UNPLUGGED?????? many thanks for helping with this............i dont know anyone who owns a sportivo and cant seem to find a car yard with one here...

i have one for sale......in perth and i can fit it no probs.if you're over here or i can get it sent to you..its done 60,000k's.....also have a 5 speed manual gearbox for sale (conversion kit with manual ecu, pedals, clutch gear linkages etc etc etc... both ready for sale call me 0425 821975..

ok?....so why would a car thief want to swap a ecu? and i know exactly how to remove the barrel/bypass factory transponder system etc, been fixing cars for almost 15 years....just rebuilt 3 04 -06 corolla's...but the replacement ecu i got came with no key!! and if i coiuld have got the key and receiver ring then i would have just swapped as i know how easy it is.... so is simple to change key/immobiliser without a ecu swap/recode........but to replace ecu we have to get toyota to code it??!!....easy to steal a corolla just hard to replace a broken ecu..........MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL HEY?? any one in perth with a non facelift sportivo want to allow me to try ecu and key swap to see if my car problem is ecu related????? will pay for your trouble and i am mechanic/insured and will take as little as 10 mins???? took ages to find a ecu and toyota arent very helpful at all

sorry if its been discussed before but i cant find answer... really simple question... can i remove my 04 sportivo 2zz-ge ecu and replace with another exactly the same (to see if mine faulty)..without having to recode the ecu and transponder etc....???? i have been told that the new/replacement/spare ecu must be coded to the transpnder system?

go to "mrminit" (the shoe repair /key cutting guys in your local shopping centre)....to supply a key AND code it...$169.... i did not belive the guy when he told me..... so to confirm.... IF U TAKE A WORKING TOYOTA KEY TO HIM HE WILL GIVE U A EXACT SAME WORKING KEY FOR $169.(almost same as a new blank key from toyota) U DO NOT NEED THE CAR TO CODE IT LIKE TOYOTA WILL TELL YOU!!!! TRUST ME.. (they should be reported for lying to us to make heaps of money) does same prices for hsv's with the hsv/gto logo keys etc...he has some fancy computer right there next to his boring old shoe machine ha ha..how times change

as it says.,...if you in perth, work at toyota (for diagnostics device) or good auto electrician etc......PM me...car is 04 corolla sportivo its in beechboro, and really need it running as my mrs smashed her 05 levin and 6 weeks at panel shop with no transport................. hard cash waiting...... PM ME for my number.........oh F$@K it...0425 821975 (darren)

??????...i read those last few posts a few times and i am still confused?? JUST FIT A PRE FACELIFT HATCHBACK FRONT BUMPER ON THE WAGON/SEDAN (cos thereis no "facelift parts on those cars)...u can now fit a pre face lift lip to your pre facelift bumper thats fitted to your "facelift" sedan wagon..guards,bonnet, lights are same all 05/06 sedans/wagons use prefacelift fronts except new projector lights

does this count as a post??

oops!!! thats what reading a usa repair guide does ha ha

reading up on our engines to try to fugure out the vacuum lines etrc on a 03 sportivo (stock intake etc) i keep finding mention of a air pump? (apparantly fitted behind passenger side (aus) headlight?? any ideas? mine was crashed so it would have been in a thousand pieces any way but can any one shed any light on this?.....also any one had a broken crankshaft position sensor?...this would cause engine to stall immediatly after starting yeah?
