Code 51 is 5 flashes followed by single flash for my 89 LE. If you’re flashes are two pairs of two followed by a single flash, could be a code 41 for TPS. This morning I got an email from the dealer...

Maybe! Give the connector a wiggle while running the engine with the service connector jumped. Should momentarily throw a code 51. Unfortunately this fix didn’t totally resolve my idle issues. My...
Hey TVT,
I've been chasing some idle issues in my '89 LE, and to my surprise the male connector on my new Beck Arnley TPS was just wiggly enough that any minor bumps or shakes threw off the IDL...
I've seen at least one other person with this issue, but per Timsrv's suggestion, I grounded my temperature switch (the one with the single wire). The issue is that, unlike Tim states, my idle won't...
Hey TVT,
I have been trying to figure this out for awhile now, but when I start my '89 LE, the tac doesn't surpass 1K. I'm also having slightly extended cranks with warm startups, like after...
Went ahead and tore out this relay today. I reconnected the red wires and bingo bango no more poor man’s security system. Hoping this helps with my intermittent click-no-starts, but a thorough...
Hey JPERL!
Did a new AFM solve the issue? I’ve been having the same issue in conjunction with somewhat random idle speeds at start up with a warm engine.
yooo! that's a great tip. In an exhausted panic I did the FIPG upside-down on the engine then reattached the pan...horrible time, lots of cursing, and not too confident in the longevity of that seal....
I attempted this yesterday and could not fully remove the oil pan because of the oil pump. Just a heads up to others! Not sure if it’s an ‘89 thing, the height my engine is at, or what, but what a...
Hey y’all,
Been working on tracking down my intermittent starting issues. Today on the docket is taking out this relay the PO installed. It makes the window lock work as a starter lock, so when...
Hey TVT!
I've been having intermittent starting issues, presumably from heat soak, but I'm convinced there is another factor at play here. I've had the van for 2 years now, and the intermittent...
Welp, I went back at it, and after perusing an AC thread, I decided to undo the grounding of my coolant temp switch, and voila! My idle-up diaphragm only kicks in when I’ve got my AC on :). Seems...
So I got my OEM idle-up diaphragm from the dealership, threw it in and, unlike the old one, when I adjust the nylon screw it effects the idle speed. Now, following Tim’s advice on setting idle speed...
Anyway to know if the idle-up diaphragm is bad? My AC idle-up VSV seems to be working; it lets air through when provided power–but nothing happens when I adjust the nylon screw on the diaphragm. I...
So I found an OEM FPR and threw that in, but still having seemingly heat related no starts. I’ve grounded the temperature switch, which also hasn’t helped. Feel like I’m at a dead end, anyone have...
Definitely the FPR, followed Tim’s walkthrough. Didn’t have to pull anything off to get to it, just a couple hours of pretzeling and cursing. Still having some intermittent starting issues, the ol’...
Welp I found the WTS at a local Advanced Auto, popped her in and CEL is gone and so is the stall out! Still gotta give her the ol' test drive, but hopefully it was just the WTS. Thanks TVT for the...
Hey TVT,
I think this is my first post... I've got a 1989 2WD LE Van that was experiencing, what I thought to be, hot soak. After perusing the forums, I decided to swap the FPR on a hunch. After...
Hey all!
I am the relatively new owner of a 1989 Toyota Van LE. I’ve been having intermittent starting issues with the “click.” After a couple tries, it normally starts, but I was left high and...
