Where is my Fuel Pump ECU? Running TOO Lean
1992 LS400 - According to my service manual, the fuel pump ECU is located on the passenger side, inside the trunk area, at about a 45 degree angle, one foot down from fueling nozzle. But it is not there! Does anyone know where it is?
My problem is this: My car has maybe 25% the power as usual. Starts/idles just fine, but upon excelleration, it seems to lean out, bogs down, and barely goes. Finally gets to speed, but way slower than usual. No check engine light comes on. AND, after a few blocks, my exhaust system is VERY hot. Engine temp is just fine, but the exhaust is screaming hot.
I've changed the fuel filter, swapped out the fuel pump, injectors and ECM, (I have a wreck to salvage parts from , but so far this problem totally eludes me. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I've thought about clogged CATS, but you would the expect a error message to read out if that was the case. Also, I know my exhaust is very hot because of how it smells, how it sounds with excessive pinging and such, and you can even see major heat waves coming off of it.

I have to agree with merylexmus. Sounds like a clogged cat. As soon as you take off the back pressure will cause those type of symptoms you described. Question. Does your CEL come on when you turn the ignition switch to the on position? Could be that your CEL is burned out. Just a thought. In either case I would expect the CEL to come on, clogged cat or lean condition or whatever other problem.

And yes I am reading the threads associated with what I'm asking about. This is my attempt to fix & restore this vehicle my self. There is only one place in this town that has mechanic's smart enough to work on foreign vehicles. The Toyota dealership can't touch it or Won't ?.
