Hey guys, two weeks ago when I was driving home from school my jza70 1jz 5-speed mk3 died, I cranked it over again and it started for 5 seconds, then died. I cranked it over again, ran for 3 seconds, then died. Then I cranked again and it kept cranking.
I opened up my ecu and found a melted capacitor, I sent it away to driftmotion for his ecu repair service, the fixed ecu came back today and I plugged it in, the car started and ran for a two minutes, then died. I cranked it again, ran for one minute, then died.
Im thinking that the ecu was not the problem and the car just ran for two minutes because I let it sit for a full week while waiting for my ecu...
So basically the longer period of time I let the car sit for, the longer it will run / idle for. If I wait a full day before cranking the car over again the car will run for a minute, but if I tried every hour cranking it over it only runs for several seconds.
I took off the gas cap and it de-pressuized as normal... also I can hear the fuel pump running, so thats good.
What do you think it is? Where can I start diagnosing... THANKS!
