A day for the memory!!!
 
I took a mental health day at work and boy am I ever glad I did. First, my friend and I went to check out a gen 3 celica GT (RA64). Great car, no rust to speak of. The engine seemed to have a miss when we first heard it run. We took it for a test drive and everything seemed good. My friend bought it... 150$ Clean title, strong 22-RE, nice clutch. No real squawks to speak of. We drove it 30 miles or so getting it back. I think once he gets it titled, he will have a great little example of the breed.

The big news of the day... We worked on the supra a bit. I really thought that the fuel pump was bad. Using a diagnostic wire we jumpered the terminals. Fuel pump was okay. After 30mins or so of screwing around with it, it still would not start. So I started checking the plug wires. I pulled plug one and stuck in a decent plug and told him to start it. I did not see a spark, but I heard a clicking noise. After some searching, I discovered the source of the clicking... the coil wire was disconnected from the distributor. Hooked that baby back up and here is the result
YouTube - Supra runs for the first time

I wasnt able to watch the video, no adobe, but its good to hear you got your car running. Sometimes its the most simple things, lol.

When I put a little baby tach in my Ranger, I pulled the coil wire off before hand to get access to the tach test wire. I completely forgot I unplugged the coil and when it wouldnt start, I was thinking to my self, ohh shit what did I do now? heheh. It took me another five miniuts to figure it out.

Good luck with your car!

I was just happy cause all it needed was new plugs and wires. I still have to get the wires as the ones on it are from a 6M cressida. Once I get the title sorted out and the new exhaust on then I will worry about new plug wires. You shouldn't need adobe for the video. It is actually a picture link to the video. Just click on it and everything should work. Okay, sorry, I forgot that photobucket updated and now you need adobe to view the file. I will try and see if I can get it uploaded somewhere else for those without adobe.
