Default Ignition Problems

Hi,

I have an 88 Supra Turbo and recently it has had ignition problems. It turns all day but will not fuel because the pump isn't recieving power. The B+ terminal is dead, if I jump 12 volts to it the car starts and runs beautifully.

I replaced all fuses in the kick panel and fuse box under the hood including the alternator fuseable link. I have power to the IGN fuse in the driver kick, power to the EFI fuse and EFI Main Relay, I have removed the glove box to gain access to the ECU but I am not very good with wiring schematics and I don't know what circuits or wires to test on the ECU. I did check as many grounds as I could find and they all are clean and secure. I replaced the ignition switch but from what I read it was gaining power on the correct wires off of the switch anyway.

It has been very wet here lately and I fear there may be a short. Is there a dummy's guide to troubleshooting this circuit?

Can someone assist me with what I should do next?

Thanks in advance

How far back in the circuit do you have power? Is there power at +B1 and BATT? Are you testing +B in the diagnostic box or at the ECU? You have power everywhere else in the car?

Kinda wet? Here, in Colorado.... well, I guess for Colorado one could make the argument but it hasn't been wet enough to cause major electrical failures unless your car is missing a lot of body panels and the windshield.

Hey Cre, thanks for responding. Sorry for the confusion, I am currently living in Western NC, record rainfall this year so far.

I was testing the B+ wire at the diagnostic port. Im not with the vehicle now but I suppose I need to know where the power to the diagnostic port is supplied. Or should I be directing my search towards ECU power first?

Everything else in the vehicle gets power to my knowledge, it ran/idled fine and I have no warning lights. I haven't been back into the vehicle since this post (more rain).

Warning lights don't come on for all issues. You still need to check for diagnostic codes. See the MKIII FAQ section for a thread on how to do so.

Here's a link for an online version of the TEWD (Toyota Electrical and Wiring Diagrams) manual.
