didn't see message posted so i'll ask again i have a 1987 toyota
pickup, 2wd a/t, 22re with electronic push button o/d on column shift.
use to kick in when warm now not at all. tranny seems fine. changed
fluid, tested connectors amongst a few other checks, and tests. But
the one thing i could not find which is at the top of my
troubleshooting list is the ect computer. anybody know the exact
location of ect computer? i gave up looking for it thnx.

isn't that the efi ucu? because the compponent locations chart that i
have shows different locations for both. according to the chart it
shows the ect behind i/p. i took out the i/p and dash twice and still
could not find it. what size and /or color is it?

Hey!
That is the efi ecu and the ECT on my daughters 91 4runner according
to the Toyota repair manual. On my 86 pickup it's in the same spot but
it's a manual trans. It's a silverish metal box maybe 1.5 x 6 x 8
inches as I remember.

Hey i do appreciate your info it made me think maybe it is part of the
efi ecu but then remembered that all the schematics show the ect as
being in a seperate location. I think what i'll do is just take it to
somebody who gets paid for figuring out all that crap and just let the
company i work for pay for it. thanx again for your help.
