I can't figure out what I did wrong on my reassembly. 1991 N/A with a JDM 7mge, W58 Symptoms: Coolant gauge pegged to hot once battery is connected Cold start injector runs constantly once start is attempted Cranks strong, but does not catch, won't start. What I did to get to this...

I really appreciate your style of help. You don't just tell people how to fix it you also try to help them think about the problem and figure things out for themselves. It doesn't help to just tell people the solution if they can't develop the skills to solve the problems on their own in the...

Problem solved and an important lesson about checking fusible links re-learned! Thanks once again to the invaluable advice of jetjock, a supra owner's 911 indeed!

I was re-checking the fuses and such to make sure that I didn't miss anything else, and when I opened the 30A fusible link right next to the 40A it virtually disintegrated in my hand, so now I'm off to replace that. Thanks again JJ for all your help!

Everything appears to work again with the exception of the tail lights and the seatbelt indicator. The CEL doesn't come on at any point however.

Ok, I checked the 40 amp link under the hood and it did turn out to be broken. I replaced it and am now to the point where the car turns over but doesn't start. As you asked earlier, the brake lights are not functioning, and the seatbelt light doesn't illuminate either. The windows are...

I figured that I probably had multiple issues, I was hoping that someone could help direct my reading/research into the problem since I'm stuck riding my motorcycle in 30 degree weather right now while the car won't start. I want very much to learn how to diagnose and repair these electrical...

Properly aligned tumbler, and made sure connections were good. No loose wires etc...Part of the confusing nature of the problem is that the car does detect the key in the ignition, it just doesn't seem to recognize when the key is in any position other than off. I'm trying to figure it out...

A few days ago I was in my car when I saw a spark down by the ignition switch. The car continued to run, but I didn't want to risk anything so I turned it off immediately and looked to see what could have caused it. Well, I discovered that one of the wires coming off my ignition switch (black...

I'm Tony, I live in Norman and am working on restoring an 86.5 N/A with 5 speed transmission.

This sounds like pretty much exactly the issue my car is having at the moment. If you could keep this updated I would appreciate it, and if I get mine running I'll let you know

OK, some updates. I now have power to the ECU and all electrical systems are go. Thanks everybody for your advice. CEL comes on with the key, but SuperMonitor says Engine OK. Problem....Still no spark from the distributor! I have spark coming from the high tension cord to the...

I'm going to recheck everything tomorrow morning and get an exact report on how he tested the distributer. Thanks again to everybody for your help and giving me this crash-course in 7mge electrical. Hopefully I'll be able to get it running soon..... BTW I feel retarded now for not realizing...

Not sure off the top of my head what the CEL is, (I'm at work right now) what I meant by no power at M-REL was that at that wire coming out of the ECU with the key in the ON position there was no measurable current. I'm going to check the continuity of the relay itself either tonight or tomorrow...

All of the electrical systems have power, windows, locks, lumbar support, tems, the only thing that doesn't work or register is the fuel gauge. The EFI fuse and relay tested good. There is no spark and no electricity at the four wire connector going into the distributor. Most of the wires at...

After a long series of diagnostics on my 86.5 I have discovered that the probable cause for why I'm not getting any spark is that somewhere in my wiring harness there is a problem with getting juice to the distributer. I have no power to the M-REL, or between terminal +B and body ground. I got...

I'm kwutzo, I've loved the MK III supras since I was a kid and finally got the chance to buy one. A white 1986.5 that was sitting for over two years. The body and interior were in good condition but it didn't run so I went ahead and ordered a JDM engine for it and installed it with the help of...
