1GGTE - won't rev under load

[81hilux09]

we did that last night. but i must have the timing right as it starts and idles. when we turned it over another stroke and adjusted teh dizzy it wouldn't start and backfired.
i''l check the pump tonight when i get home

No chance that one of the pulleys got put back on incorrectly, or without a pin/key?

A former co-worker of mine built a 3SGTE and put the pulleys on the cams in the wrong positions.
Idled smooth as a baby and topped out at about 3500 rpm.

yeh dont be misguided by idle... your timing can be out which effects running but idle can still be not bad

Is the Turbo spooling up ? are all the turbo lines connected & tight ..

When you rev it with the timining light connected, but Without the diagnostic connector bridged does the timing actually advance ? ( with it bridged the timing will not change much, but without it bridged the timing should advance quite a bit as you rev it .. )

I'll check that once I get the exhaust finished. It's sitting at my brother inlaws place atm. I found it will rev all the way out on very throttle when u get into higher in the rev range it seems to make boost and cut a skid

Yeah both cam pulleys were installed with e and I facing out and the locating pin in the middle hole

I know this might sound silly but I had the same sort of problem when I put the 1J in my soarer and it ended up being 1 vacuum line off and a loose hose clamp on the IC. I'm guessing you would have checked all that sort of stuff?

sorry to be rude but thats not how you check the timing on the cam pulleys, there are timing marks (dots) on the cam gears.. thats how you tell the timing lines up, btw have you tried replacing the air flow meter yet?..

yeah i do realise that and thats how they were lined up with the dots to the lines on the back of the backing plate, i was just stating that because of the comment in another post about it.

have tried 2 air flow meters and both were working before hand aswell.
