[senshockey19]

recently ive saved up some money and have been working on my supra everyday as a total rebuild i just put the engine back in after to a overhaul on it.. now b4 i had taken the engine out the starter didnt turn over after i put the engine back in rebuilt the starter(needed new armature n brushes) i just tried starting and it didnt even turn over now im not happy after all that work and its probly a stupid sensor or something there was one sensor that has no female connection i can find and was never connected its about 6 inches from the starter under the intake and has 4connectors inside the sensor and a vertical slot in between them its also connected to two wires into the sensor maybe this isnt even it need help thx

ps the sensor is not connected to any vaccum hoses and is not to the starter and it is clear/whiteish

Did you check the one wire that goes to the starter. iirc it is brown. Also make sure that you dont have any loose connections in the positive wire. Hope this helps.

ya i checked the starter connections and everything is good any other possibilities to why the starter isnt going?

Do you hear the relay click?

 

[senshockey19]

im gonna check everything a third time but plz post if u have any ideas

 

[senshockey19]

u no wat i think thats it is that the sensor im talking about because i havent seen a relay on it do u no where i can find any?

 

[senshockey19]

the relay is prob it

 

[senshockey19]

the relay cleaner is close but no cigar for a matchup my empty connector runs right under the intake and comes out of the wire covering right beside the transmission sensor and its a four wire connector do u no wat it goes to??

Excellent question Jonathan. I don't see an answer...probably still too early in the morning.

If the starter solenoid does click and the battery has a good charge I would suspect the contacts within the solenoid on the starter. But it sounds like you had the starter checked out and rebuilt by someone who knows what they are doing.

Now if you don't hear a click, I would first suspect that maybe the Alarm has been tripped. It interrupts the starter relay so you can't steal the car. Re-lock and unlock both doors to see if you can reset the Alarm. I've had it happen several times on my 89. It seems the contacts in the doors are kind of troublesome. You can also roll it and pop the clutch (I see you have a 5-speed) and it will start that way if it is the alarm.

Important clue: I see from your first post that it would not start BEFORE the engine was pulled, so all that work should be unrelated to the starting problem.

What is your evidence that every thing is good?

 

[senshockey19]

i think it could be that with the alarm because my locks are screwed up on doors i can lock em but with difficulty and the lock on the steering colomn also locks sometimes in odd situations and i no the engine is mechanicly sound because i did a complete rebuil new piston rings gaskets exc it looks awesome im gonna get some pics up here i evern got a custom paintjob on it:icon_bigg

Your key could be worn out...although that wouldn't cause your no-start problem...lol.

So do you hear the starter relay click when you turn the key to try and start the car? You should hear a "click" sound coming from the passenger side footwell.

 

[senshockey19]

no i didnt hear a click but i figured it out my cluthc pedal wasnt set right and woulddnt go far enough lol

 

[johnathan1]

So you figured out the problem?

 

[senshockey19]

yeah, thanks for the advise guys
