(yes the brown wire reads 12 + volts when the ignition is on ) primary and secondary readings are both within tolerance .... the injectors are correct (yellow top) ... have tried three different MAF units and two different computers (yes there is power at the computer ) compression is 85 pounds per cylinder (pretty much all of them are really close to the same .. within one pound .. better than any honda i have ever worked on ) ...checked grounds ... all good .. the only thing that i see that doesnt seem quite right is a little blue two prong wiring connector under the intake manifold that has a red with a black stripe and a black with a red stripe running into it ... please help .. this is my first supra .. i need to be enlightened .. thanx.
Hi! Looking at the date of your post I hope you finally got your motor to start? -can you let us know what the problem was? -- and how you fixed it? - seems to be a very common problem -thanks!
