Bump for old thread. I have the following installed in my SC400 in my signature. I cant get the cruise control working. The light on the gauge works, but it doesnt seem to want to hold the throttle open. Any ideas? Using the AEM V2 from DM

my problem is white smoke...
car does not overheat but stays steady right above the halfway mark. i have not done the temp gauge fix yet so i do NOT think this is accurate. it is smoking all the time but not a crazy amount. coolant is clean. recently did a full 3" exhaust no cats no resonators. im pretty sure tht doesnt matter but now i obviously notice it more.
also does the sputtering thing at WOT. never saw a fix for this on this thread

smoking could be alot of different things, running rich, burning oil, maybe turbo are gone..
sputtering at wot , coils, plugs for example wrong gapped plugs , replace the cracked boot on your coils, maybe the spring under the boot is not making a good contact.
are you single or you still on stock twins?
Last thing is the ECU , The 1jzgte faulty ECU will do all those things that you mentioned above.
Try a different ECU if you have access to one.
pm me your number.

How is your coolant level? if your not burning coolant i think you are are not if you are is not overheating.

i noticed it only smokes after i have driven the car hard. i think u may be right about the turbos.
i have new plugs and they were gapped by a mechanic who is fluent in these swaps so im sure he gapped them right.(i hope) ill check the other things mentioned
im on stock twins.
ecu...ive tried 3 different ones so i dont think its that either.
thank you a million times for ur help. i have noticed u are always one to jump in a thread and help someone. ur the shiznit

im a sAD sad bear.
My 93 sc swapped with 1jzgte non vvti is having Airbag light, Yes yes reset, i shall do that.
My rpm is at 1500-1800 on Idle, Cant get it lower than that.
mines original 5speed w58 is bolted up with the 1jz Auto Tranny ECU.
Ran into another problem is, i have about 120 Miles on half a Full tank. (assuming 10 gallons, 12 miles per gallon). Car felt rich.. at cruising speeds of 60-70 mph, My car shot fire from the exhaust.
My "check Lights" light is on. my "oil level" light is also on and SRS Airbag. Cant confirm if my ECU is dead, or pinned wrong, or whatever it is. If someone could give me a call, as my car has been over a year with this swap. Really really miss my car on the streets of cali.
I am uncertain how to get my Cruise control to work..
Email me at kiochiu@gmail.com PLEASE Thanks!!
planning to swing by Drift Motion in the morning, if dm is out, then FSR i go... Maybe i should just get into an AEM EMS to power up everything huhh

Air bag is ON because you pulled the cluster and while the cluster was unplugged you turned the key on ON position or tried to start the car.
1JZGTE are crap so the ECU will idle high sometimes and sometime it will under under 400 rpm lol, try adjusting the idle screw to see if that will make a difference.
If the check engine light is ON at all time , it is seing a condition jump E1 and T1 to pull the code.
Your gear ratio is too high that's why your MPG is crap. You need a different rear differential. Oil level sensor wire plugs to the body plug , it comes from the oil level to body plug from body plug to the cluster. it's probably not in the right pin depending on what harness and wat year you car is .
SRS should be the same as the airbag.cluster was removed and the key was turned on ON position or the car was started w/o a cluster that light will come ON.
Cruise control , i never had Lol sorry i can't help you on that!
No you don't need an aem ems yet!

Bumping this thread MY CAR IS 92 SC300
I am literally in my garage dropping the 1jz in right now
I can not locate the connector for the plug on the power steering rack on the driver side right before the motor mount.
My harness is uncut and folks say its behind the alternator on the 1jz soarer harness
If it isn't there does anyone one have the pin locations /wire color so I can de pin from my ge harness and re pin it into my soarer harness thanks guys

kez, do you know if the starter is good? manually trigger it off the battery with the key on if you think all your wiring is right. Swapped a dudes cressida awhile back and sold him the harness off my old car so I knew it was good, swap came with a bad starter.
Why'd you waste your money on a soarer harness? Who wired your car?
