I went to a local show and spent most of it like this:
On the way to the show my bluetooth started cutting in and out. Then, the electric power steering went. I made it to the show, turned it off... and it wouldn’t start again. No power to any of the dash.
Now, under the dash it’s a rats nest. I have shamed my family how bad it is. It’s a combo of 50 year old wiring and adding new circuits willy nilly as I built the car. It was a total ass pain to trouble shoot. It turned out to be a combo of a fuse that blew but not where visible and a bad relay. The relay would click with the key, but as soon as a load was put on it it would jitter. I stole a headlight relay from under the hood to get me going again.
So, I think this winters big project will be to completely re-wire this bitch. Probably make a couple other upgrades while I’m in there (anyone have a standalone ECU laying around?)

Nice to see this car again, despite the circumstances. I love this build.

All of them :)
I’ve used MegaSquirt before when it was 2.3 so that’s on the list.
AEM, Haltech, all those guys. The thing is none of them (so I hear) do a good job of controlling the Toyota automatic. So, if I do go standalone I should probably manual swap as well.
Or I could keep it auto with the stock ECU and run an SAFC or something.
I dunno. I’m a cheap bastard so it’s hard to chose.

I too am exceedingly cheap and went with a prebuilt ms3.57, Mostly because in my mind it was sequential coil on plug or nothing. $800 closer to 1k after buying harnesses, money well spent. Setup was tedious but that was more to do with the 1uz not having much documentation.
Might it be possible to just run whatever standalone you want, and leave the standard ecu connected to run the trans?
