Yep, was referring to the midpipe.

Thanks for the reply

I take it you mean the midpipe? The one that connects to the backbox?

One box is a silencer and the other is a CAT, so don't throw it away as it will be worth a few quid in scrap.

But also bear that in mind when looking for a new one as they may not be cheap, on the other hand the seller may not realise there's a CAT in there and give it to you for a bargain price

Hi folks,

I need a centre exhaust( the one with the 2 boxes) on my car, as the other one is broken beyond repair. Does anybody know where one can buy from cheap or have one lying around?

Thanks

Hi folks,

Need some insight. My car developed a knocking sound coming from the front passenger wheel. I can only hear it when going over a bump or dip in the road.

No noise when you driving on a smooth road. Any ideas what might be the cause?

Thanks

Hey, good to hear your car arrived. It must have enjoyed the the first drive after so long!

Enjoy!

Any latest pics yet?

Folks, are there any Altezza owners in Liverpool, whos car i can have a look at just to compare things. My car has a major idling problem, which

messin with my head!

Folks,

I've reading allot about the MAF sensor, which is causing the car to idle rough. This is what my car is doing at the moment. I believe it can be cleaned, but can

anybody tell me where it is or have pics of how it looks like and the cleaning process, please?

Thanks

i had a similar problem, it was the mass air flow sensor in the intake just before the throttle body.

it is a standard Toyota part, meaning it is not specifically for the Altezza, should be able to replace it without too much trouble.

one guy on here had almost same problem, he said he cleaned his sensor, and then it worked fine, but that may have been an IS200?

just curious, what did you do with your old motor?

I will try the cleaning of it first and see if that help. Do you have pics of how the air flow sensor looks like?

I still have have the old motor, still getting some bits of it.

Hi folks,

Just a quick update. The issue has been sorted, there was an earth wire(mentioned by one of you guys) which was not tight enough So did that and it after a few turns it started. However there seems to be another issue; the car revs around 2000rpm constantly and not sure what is causing this. Also when putting my foot on the accerlerator it goes halfway down before it has any effect on the car, which means a huge play on it. Any ideas of how to rectify this? The guy did a diagnostics check on it and the fault was the throttle body sensor etc.

Thanks again for the help with this.

Yes obd is, on board diagnostics

That is what I will have to do next, as that is what will tell me where the problem is.

Thanks for the input all. Will let you know how things go

does it not have an obd port - wouldnt that give you any clues ?

Is this where you do the diagnostic test?

You said the cam belt broke. You are aware that these are interference engines?! I assume you took the head off to inspect for any damage inside before installing a new cam belt?

It is complete new rebuild engine I've put in.

What year is the car? Even if the alarm immobiliser is bypassed it still could be sync'd with other things. I'm quite supprised this post has not had many replies, someone must have swapped an engine in a similar or the same car?

It is a 1998 Altezza. It is just weird, now when I switch the ignition on the fan come on and a clicking sound from the fusebox(where the diagnostics is done from) but it still does not start. I am also stunt by the response!

Forgot to add; the alarm and remote central locking system seems to work fine.

Hi checked earth wires and all seems fine, still not starting There is a funny clicking sound coming from the throttle body when I switch the ignition on. Any ideas why it does that?

check the 2 engines earths, the ecu will more than likely not have the factory alarm/immobiliser installed

Thanks for the reply. Where are the earths located? I know there is one on the gearbox where does the other go

Does the ecu need swapping too? Or a remap of old one?

You might have a point there. But I thought it would have just reset itself to the new engine?

Hi folks,

I just replaced the engine on my Altezza (3sge), due to the cambelt snapped on the old engine. But now I have a problem that

the car wont start. I checked all the connection, new plugs, cambelt etc.It turns over fine, but just wonts start. I noted that

when you turn the ignition on the engine management light start flashing. Any ideas of what it might be or how to get to the root

of the problem?

Hi Folks,

Does anybody know the Flywheel torgue settings on the Altezza 3sge please? Would be great if there is a list of all the torgue

settings.....

Thanx

Hi Folks,

I am looking for a 3sge (2.0l) engine for my Altezza ugently, is there anybody who know where i can get one?

Thanks
