7mgte no spark
 
so i bought a supra a while ago with the engine out and it had a bhg so i replaced that and the head. So i finally got the motor and tranny in and the wiring that i know of and can see done up. when to go start it i had no power at the coil. traced that back to an unplug ignition wire. went to go crank again and still have no spark. so i went to the toyota service manual and went for the no spark condition and started doing testing and found the ignitor to test bad. Replaced the ignitor and i still have no spark.

I am at a lost of what it could be. Any ideas? I know there are guys out there that know alot more about the supras then i do and could prob give me hints on where to start.

By the way its a 1990 supra with a 7mgte. the cylinder head is off a jdm 7mgte and its not running the egr system and it has arp head studs along with the third verison of toyotas gasket

thanks in advance

No error codes? Manual or automatic transmission? Is there power at the ECU? Does the check engine light up when the key is in the "ON" position but the car is still off? Are the ground wires which connect to the head on the passenger side and the intake manifold on the driver's side all clean and securely fastened?

havent checked for codes yet. ground on the passenger side is good and didnt know there is suppose to be one on the intake... where on the intake does it bolt to and where on the car?

The other ground I mentioned consists of two eyelets (4 wires, IIRC) and they connect to the bottom of the lower intake plenum (driver's side of the head).

Check for codes, it'll help see if there are any power supply issues at the ECU.

alright thanks man ill check tomorrow

Check to make sure the coil packs are grounded well. when i took mine apart the ground wire was half way decentagrated and the wire was bare. im sure it was causing some of the problems i was experiencing while the car was running but i wont know for sure until i get my new manifold and get her all back together

you took the words out of my mouth there, it's easy to overlook this earth especially if (as with mine) it's broken off the coil carrier. IIRC the coils have their own dedicated earths anyway but Toyota fitted the single wire one for a reason I guess...

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?
