have spark but still wont start

How did you fix the distributor?

I can't hear any of my pumps, loosen the banjo bolt on the start injector and see if fuel leaks out.

I'd start by checking fuses (esp EFI under the footwell) and re-connecting all plugs
Sounds like a fuse or bad connection somewhere

 

Whats the history of this car ? Have you ever seen it running ?

Heres some elctrical info














The cold start injector is on your intake manifold, a banjo bolt is a hollow bolt
that is used to connect your fuel line to the injector, in the following picture
they call it a Union Bolt. You just want to loosen it a little bit to see if gas
leaks out.

 

If you have a 3sfe engine the intake manifold should say EFI
and the valve covers should say TOYOTA 2000 16 VALVE


If you have a 3sge engine the intake manifold should say T-VIS
and the valve covers should say TOYOTA 2000 TWIN CAM 16

 

You do not know if their is fuel in the intake manifold or not all you know so far is that
- to get fuel to the injector you have to bridge B+ & FP and that doesn't mean fuel
is going through the injector into the intake manifold it just means fuel is getting as
far as the injector. Even if your cold start injector is working I don't think it will get
the car started by itself, its just designed to deliver extra fuel at startup in addition
to the 4 injectors that deliver fuel dirrectly into the cylinders
(in case your wondering that +'ve 12v -->B+ , fuel pump -->FP)

Since you have to bridge B+ & FP to get the fuel pump to work their is definetely an
electrical issue and most likely the injectors arn't getting power so most likely you have
a blown fuse.

So inside the car I'd be checking fuses # 10,12 & 14


and in the engine bay I'd be checking fuse # 3 and it could also be relays A & B


So probably if you can get the fuel pump to work normally (ie without bridging it)
then most likely that will also solve any other problems

 

How are you getting the starter fluid into the engine ?
Through the air flow meter or through the throttle body ?

Heres how to test your circuit opening relay

 

Yeah thats what I thought.....thats why I asked that question....
I get these psychic visions of what you are doing hnoes

You have to have the air flow meter attached to the throttle body via that black rubber tube
and you also have to have the air flow meter pluged in. The car definetely wont start without that.

 

It does measure air flow but I don't know how much control over the injectors it has
the ECU will definetely control the injectors and info from the AFM and throttle body
will play a big part in the ECU's signals to the injectors.

The cold start injector will bypass all that I'm guessing as it takes its signal from the
starter circuit. The cold start injector is also a continous spray for as long as your
cranking the engine.

Some other info that may be useful. Your 4 cylinder injectors are attached to a fuel
rail, and your cold start injector also receives fuel from the rail so if your cold start
injector is getting fuel then your 4 cylinder injectors are also getting fuel.

So hook up everything properly and hopefully I won't have to teach you how to use
an ohm meter

 

I think if you get everything hooked up right in the engine bay then the car will start all you did was
change a timing belt, theirs no reall wires over there that you could have removed that would prevent
the car from starting so if you get the AFM hooked up hopefully she'll fire up

 

Your probably 180 degrees out on the timing. It takes 2 revolutions of the crankshaft
to turn the timing gear 1 revolution.

Here you can faintly see the white grove on the crankshaft pully pretty
much lined up with the zero.


But when we check the timing gear its pointing in the wrong dirrection


So if I go and rotate the crankshaft 1 full revolution I'm back to pointing at zero again


And looking back up on top I'm now pointing in the right dirrection
so set your timing wheel like this, loosen the belt off and rotate the crankshaft 1 full turn
