Phil man, so sorry to hear. Its just terrible. I am not int he are still out in Calgary but I'll be moving back soon and I'll help out wherever I can. I bought my first Supra from you many years ago now. Once I have some cash to spare I'll send it along. I don't know what to say other...

Ok discoed the battery, plugged int he AFM no Codes. Car tried to start once then nothing, basically its much worse with AFM plugged in.

So I unplugged the AFM and the car will start. It runs for 10-15 seconds and dies. But I can restart over and over now... wtf. I got code 24 after AFM was pulled. So I guess I am closer. I have yet to have a chance to get a vacuum gauge.

I havent had a chance to work on the car tonight but was wondering how do you jumper the AFM and what does this accomplish? Since the car will start and run (roughly) while the flapper is being held open 1/2 to 3/4 of the way, this seems to be the most likely suspect at the moment. Thanks

I don't know, I'll lookup how to test, I am not sure I have a vacuum tester.

just a side note, its frustrating trying to search for afm or air flow meter when you can't use a 3 letter word...

Actually I swtiched the intake pipe over from the orginal motor for the throttle linkage (the JDM was an Auto Tranny) Kingsoup just pushed open the AFM flapper while I tried to start it and the car ran for 20-30 seconds or so. So I have pulled the AFM out and tested resistance but it all...

Ok well we are really sure its fuel now. We took off the intake and poured in some gas while I tried to start and it ran for a few seconds. When we short pins Fp and +B we can hear the fuel pump, but the fuel pump relay makes a buzzing noise, we popped the the cover and the relay is not...

The two seperate ground wires, thin gauge that go to the intake are on it, but I'll check to make sure they are making good contact. Large gauge black wire driect from the battery negative/ground is what I have going to the starter. I also added two new grounds heavy gauge wire on either...

No codes :(

Well I guess that settles it then, my timing must be off, I just set the crank to TDC Compression and pulled the timing cover off, it was off by maybe a full tooth between the two gears. I rest and tried again still no luck, back to the distributor I guess. Thanks again for the replies.

Hey thanks for the replies, Ok It is getting fuel, when we pull a plug we can smell it. We tested for spark we are getting it as well. AFM is plugged in. We rotated to TDC on Compression stroke (looked for cam lobe in oil filler cap on valve cover) and set the distributor. We checked...

Hey all, I have just finished putting my new JDM 7MGE into my car, but it wont start. It cranks over, you can smell fuel when you pull a plug out, and we have checked for spark. We put a timing light on it while it is cranking over and it looks good. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...

BTW How is school going? You gonna have your car done this summer?

Hey Steve, Calgary is great! The guy in the local club here hav been very helpful with locating parts etc. I think our plan is to tap it out to a larger size and try a slightly larger bolt. If not we mahe to Heli Coil it.
