Ok I have started another thread on my car troubles, thanks for your patience and shoutout to everyone inhding 3p for the wisdom, anyway this is a 1989 7mgte, coil leads and spark plugs are new, fuel pump is new, battery is Good, radiator holds coolant previous owner replaced head gasket, just flushed coolant and engine and lsd oil Is fresh. Firstly it wouldn't turn over at all, an auto electrical said he disabled the anti theft device and got it cranking but not spark, i jumped a lead from battery to ignition fuse at kick panel, this got power to ecu and got the car running, I drove it home from a friend's property. Ive now got the fuel tank welded up. I still can only get power to ecu by jumping the ignition fuse, but I now cannot get it to crank at all, tried 3 charged batteries, I have also tried jumping
The blue black starter cable but nothing, I jacked up the car this afternoon but may need to take the intake manifold off to properly get to the starter motor. The alternator gets really hot when the battery is just connected so I have disconnected while trying to turn it over, the battery is on charge at the moment, it may be the starter solenoid or could be the starter earth car, either I may need to take off this manifold, have you taken off a starter motor before and can give me some pointers? Thanks
