i replaced the alternator because the battery was pushing well over 14 volts (leaking out the battery vents etc) anyways it still has a hard time starting, in order for me to start it i have to turn the key to the on position and disconnect the EFI main relay wait 1 second then plug it back in then you can hear the fuel pump being primed, after you do that you're good to go. after driving it for a while last night i noticed that the EFI main relay was really really hot. i know that heat can do funny things to electronics, but my question is do they normally get hot? and ive noticed that these cars get hot as well even driving on the interstate (coolant temp is fine). ive been looking at doing the BFI mod so that the engine can breathe a bit better and maybe cool it down a bit. One more thing, does anybody know how to do the 12v ecu bypass mod? i know that its on Clublexus but i cant see the pictures for some odd reason. Ill keep you guys updated if i fix anything!
