7mgte no spark

supra.7mgte · 02-17-2010, 07:15 PM

where exactly is this ground ground on the coil suppose to be... im pretty sure i dont have on and when i bolt the coil carrier down i never have the rubbers that hold it into place so i just used some washers for now.. is that a big deal?

supra.7mgte · 02-18-2010, 05:27 PM

checked all the grounds.. they are now good but i still have no spark.. im going to check for codes right now

supra.7mgte · 02-18-2010, 06:12 PM

just checked codes.. none at this time anyways.. im at a loss here i have no freaking clue wut it could be.. any other ideas... i timed the cps and even replace it due to the fact that the old wires were very brittle

any one with other ideas on what it could be?

i also just noticed that when the battery is hooked up the check engine light stays light up with the ignition in the off position and key out of ignition. as soon as u turn the key to the run/on position the check engine light will go out. any clues as too why?

that buzzing from the pass side is the fuel pump relay cause my is doing it too

The fuel pump relay is the most likely suspect for the buzzing. The CEL when the ignition is off is puzzling as the ECU has no power source at that point, but I suppose if the fuel pump relay is getting power from somewhere that would be the same source that's powering the ECU. Do either of you have the FP contact in the diagnostic box jumpered to anything?

Hello,
I have a 88 supra that I've rebuilt the engine in that's showing the same problems. I've confirmed the coils have the necessary 12 volts. earlier posts indicate a ground wire is indicated between the coil pack & the engine ? one of the tests have you checking that NO ground exists ? I'm really climbing the wall, the cars been ready to start for weeks...... I performed the test to confirm the fuel pump works, it does... I also have the engine light on when the key is off ? this is really a "pip", putting it nicely. as the other people have nicely stated "HELP"

One of you (or all of you) pull the fuel pump relay, jumper FP and +B in the diagnostic box, reconnect the car battery and see if the CEL still comes on with the key at "off". Try starting too if you like, although I doubt that's what's preventing your vehicles from starting.. I think the main EFI relay is more likely.
