Alright, I got somewhere? Tested the plugs out, found that the plugs were arking to the side, great, found an issue (It appears that the new plugs i brought may have been faulty this entire time). Store was closed so couldn't get some new plugs. Took the plugs out of a corrolla, (They were a little ...

Im back onto this today, I pulled the oil plug and let a little oil out after noticing the volume of oil on the dipstick was quite a fair way up there. After doing this, i noticed the oil was extremely thin and smelt like fuel - going to drain some more out and put some fresh oil in there just to th...

I can't remove the mid-cover, it's locked in there behind the pully, I dont have an issue taking it apart and re-setting the timing belt, I wanted to get in behind there to look for an oil leak at some point anyway. The VVT pully re-seats back to the default position when cranking, so it is already ...

I can't work out what I done, it changed entirely after having a play around with the TPS and timing, it actually ran fine for that moment and I haven't been able to reproduce what I done. Upon looking at the timing afterwards, i noticed I am out by a tooth, so at the moment I am battling the crank ...

I cant re-set the TPS at the moment, but, I did unplug the TPS and the car fired instantly, ran approx 1.5k rpm for near 10 seconds before cutting out. That is the best it has run during this entire time. Could this indicate the issue? Scratch that, I tried to recreate the situation but it didn't gi...

That's the odd thing, nothing was touched. It went from running fine one day, sitting a couple days then on t running at all.


I will check the TPS out tomorrow.

Yeah, thats not an option, as soon as i apply any throttle at all it cuts out.

Alright, I re-adjusted the Ign timing, while doing this, i unplugged the pulse to the injectors so the engine wasn't flooding with fuel, after this I tested the COR and the pump runs when i put the flap. After adjusting the timing I plugged the pulse back in and it fired up for maybe 5-15 seconds be...

Ignition timing was tested on Tuesday and seemed to be spot on perfect. I tested the crank pully too after a read up on the legacy forums, from what I can tell it is fine, but I will get under there and give it another go. I will try to test that COR out today. I appreciate your help on troubleshoot...

Geez, sounds pretty similar, but it will fire once in a while until it becomes flooded.

I will try the fuel pump relay tomorrow.

Alright, well that is a no-go. Same bloody issue.

My bad, i was checking the wrong sensor. Yeah, seems to be fine.

Any idea how many ohms to earth the temp sensor wire should have?

It seems to be directly connected to earth, it seems off to me..

Sorry for the late reply mate, i didn't get a chance to look at it yesterday due to a bit of a hectic day. KMs on engine, 265,000km, compression on each cylinder is around 155psi Fuel Rail sits at 2.7bar There is no split in the intake duct and is in pretty good condition. As for the flap, testing w...

---------------- Edited ---------------- Alright, im a dork. I was measuring the wrong side. I measures one of the wires at a constant 12.2v, while the second wire seems to discharge as soon as i would attempt to measure it. It attempted to fire again after letting it sit a while, without throttle, ...

Hey Jondee86, 1. Currently it does not make a difference, it will not fire... except i did just notice something odd.. Every time i would stop trying trying to turn it over and put the key back into rested position, the car would fire for a split second. Now, when we did has it firing (Borrowed a ma...

Hey all, so i am new to the forums but i have been using them to troubleshoot issues with my car for the past few years but I can not seem to find any help on the archive or here with the issue I am facing. Basically, here is the problem I am facing: The car has spark, air and fuel but it does not f...
