I didnt remove the aircon my self.. a mecanic done it.. the pump is still there its just disconected.. pretty sure its been running cold since i brought it.

When the car is cold, the injectors have a longer duty cycle. And the mechanic didn't finish the job if the fans are always running.

Id say its a 98% chance it needs a new thermo....

EVERY (quite afew) 20v's I have pulled the thermo from have been dated with the year built (never been replaced) an most are jammed open

yea 1/2 way on gauge is normal running temp. once ive replaced the thermostat then will see if that fixes it

If toyota is open on saturday ill pop down and buy a new thermo and replace the old one.. if it still runs cold then must have something to do with aircon i guess.. Will post up the outcome on the weekend if anyones interested..
Let us know if it fixes ur prob EVL20V..

even if the aircon fan is runing non stop the thermo would stop the water cycling when it drops below 82.

by **Luke28** » Tue May 29, 2007 10:16 pm

both aircon fan and aircon radiator have been taken off.. its the radiator fan thats always going...

Yea, you need to jump the pins where one of the pressure switches on the ac system were to stop that.

the plug below the ignitor/coil runs onto a switch in the a/c alloy line

ohh... im with ya now :lol:

which pins do i need to jump?

try either opposite two, maximum 2 tries to get right ones

.
Removing AC will not make car cooler (as in bad thermostat symptom) full stop. The only thing what it affects is that bloody fan. AC idle up solenoid normally is not activated so it should not affect idle. If in doubt you can disconnected it is located behind air intake pipe (the one which is between AFM and inlet manifold), just pull the plug of the solenoid and see if it makes the difference (it should not).

Well i poped a new thermostat in today and temp goes up just below half

Just gota sort the fan so it doesnt run all the time and all sorted.. but that can wait cause it wont stop bloody raining

installed new thermostat, instantly noticed cold idle had dropped and was more reasonable :wink:

THEN adjusted timing and had to retard it about 8degrees

and shes mint now :lol:
