Runs like ass.

DudeBud · Apr 28, 2007

pull the valve cover and check #1 to see if the rockers are loose when its on tdc.

Paulie · Apr 28, 2007

its TDC. Dove85 on here did it, he can verify the timing is all okay.

I need to get this done im tripping over parts at night.

Ill buy them from you and save you the hassle

Double check your valve clearances.

Paulie · Apr 29, 2007

its runs, just wont mention what i did wrong.

Pull the valve cover, and turn the #1 piston to TDC. See if either it or #4 is truly at the overlap point (rotating either way will open one or the other valve) If they are already open (either) with the piston at TDC, the chain is still off a notch.
Is it carbed? Ground may have broken off the idle solenoid.

Aww come on, we all wanna know! Did you have the plug wires wrong?

Did you figure it out? Is it all better?

Winner! felt like a ****ing idiot. Erok my buddy found it after a few beers and since i was playing with the dizzy so much i threw that off alittle. She purrs now. but my cluster says i have no oil pressure. pulled the cap off when it was running and put a hand over the oil cap hole. waited a few and lifted off, has plenty of pressure. i have to check the wires with a meter and check the sensor. could just have takin a **** on me.. other than that its all good.

Ground the wire to the sensor and the gauge should shoot up.

that would be crankcase pressure... not oil pressure :awesomework: :haha: :haha:

:haha: i know the timing is dead on:awesomework: so im guessing you put 3on 2 and 2 on 3:beer: now lets get some fukkin wheelin in

CrustyJeep · Apr 29, 2007

What an abortion

Can't be bothered to get firing order right (on an I4 for gawd sake), thinks crank case pressure == oil pressure... Suweet :haha:

And all this talk about the disty 180* out... :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

I almost suggested to re-check that, but I figured it was something that you would have already re-checked numerous times. Glad to hear you figured that out anyway.

As someone else mentioned, if you ground the wire for the sender to the block, the gauge should go up. That will determine if its the sender or the gauge. If the gauge moves, its sender (or no oil PSI).

I like to get a second mechanical gauge on the engine ASAP before I start dinking around with that stuff, that way it rules out not actually having pressure as the problem really fast.

i tried what you just mentioned and it didnt move.

than the gauge is bad

84Toyota4x4 · Apr 30, 2007

Probably a bad gauge then, or a bad connection somewhere. If you ground the wire from the sender, the gauge should go up. Make sure you grounded the right wire though too. You could check the sender with a multimeter to make sure its working right too. Just put it on Ohms, then connect one terminal to the sender and ground the other. Start the truck and as the oil PSI changes, the reading on the meter should change.

Get a mechanical gauge and put on it to make sure you still have oil pressure, and if so, just start looking for a new gauge.

Is it possible that the oil pump drive spline in the front cover isn't engaging the oil pump? I don't even know if thats physically possible or not.

no it is not possible,... it only goes on one way, if you didn't have any oil preasure, your motor would have already takin a **** on ya:kissmyass:
i tore it apart and fix'd the cam timing and set ignition timing, and i know it's all right:awesomework: so like tj said ohm's test it, i am not sure what the resistance should be but your chiltons will tell you what range the ohm's should be in. if it's good check continuty from the gauge side of the wire and at the sensor to make sure you don't have any breaks in the wire, and if thats all good let me know, i got a gauge cluster if you need one, SR5

:beer: change the heading on this thread, your scarin me:haha: :fawkdancesmiley:
