ECM is being quite troublesome

[ag6286]

1993 Camry V6 3vz-fe; 1,323 miles :


So i had a knock sensor problem, codes 5-5 and 5-2. As ive read in previous posts i decided to 'trick' the ecm into thinking both were good, even though both were BRAND NEW . So i checked them with Ohm-meter, one read 0/inf. (which is the good one from wut i gathered) and the other around 2.5-3 ohms (the bad one)

^^(if that isnt correct about the resistance let me know)

So i cut both wires at ecm butt-connector, and spliced the good one. using a y-clamp u can get from any radioshack i connect the good wire from the sensor to one end of the y. and the other two ends i used for both wires to the ECM leaving the bad sensor wire hanging. I reset the ecu numerous times...yet STILL get both codes .

given im going to 2x check i connected the right sensor.....would ther be any other reason y this wouldnt work?!?


One other question, how often should the feul filter be changed, cant say ive ever changed it, my guess is its time for a new one

i have no good answers for your questions but i want to clarify something.... a 93 3vz-fe with 1,323 miles????

i am in awe if that is not a typo

*clarify*^^^^rebuilt/PP'd/KE'd/etc etc

210,000 ish body

but really if i wouldve had it done by toyota they would have set my OD back to '0' so i figure y cant i? atleast in my head

b4 my rebuilt and all the other fun goodies done to it...i got about 20mpg.....this most recent tank i pushed 380 miles to the tank, wutever that figures to mpg wise, and thats mostly city driving ....of course it IS in major limp mode, and running very lean......yes lean, im sure that helps a lil
