    No Spark after letting the car sit. 2JZ-gte

    bad crank sensor/wiring, bad ignitor/wiring. thats about all i can think of that controls spark assuming the ECU has power/ground- if CEL turns on with key on, ECU is powered. crank signal from sensor goes to ecu for engine position, ecu sends signals to igniter- which uses higher current...

    Didn't know this part of the forums existed...

    It started as a basic 2JZ swap. Then went to 'well, why not slap a GT40 on it?' to 'well now i need bigger injectors, why not go with 1000's?' to 'well, a walbro wont cut it, so why not build a complete fuel system from scratch using giant lines, and an A1000 pump with a custom sumped tank?'...
