supra wont run . Why? - Page 2

well flashing continuously means no codes are stored, has your battery been flat or disconnected in the meantime?

what happens when you try to start it, does it crank, does it start and die? what does it do

Supraman · 02-20-2005, 04:12 PM

Yes I did disconnect the battery To work on it . All it does is crank over I pulled a plug to see if there was any spark but there was none .It doesnt even start and die. I wish it did.

Also I checked the coils with an ohm meter and it showed .06 . The guy at the store said it sounded like the ignition module. What do you think?

suprra_girl · 02-20-2005, 10:34 PM

well this may sound obvious but just in case lol

are your coils plugged in?
check your AM fuses in the engine bay fusebox are they blown?
try swapping your ignitor and see what happens

Supraman · 02-20-2005, 11:50 PM

The coils are plugged in. I checked the fuses. And this may sound stupid but what is an ignitor. :blink:

Is the ignitor the same thing as the ignition module. And if it is do you know were I can get one cheap. Used or otherwise.

have you checked the distributer rotor and cap?

dammit i keep forgetting that supraforums can't register any new members at the moment

i would replace your ignition module (ignitor) and see how you get on...
your local junkyard should have one, just ring around and see if you get one

87supraguy... good guess but this model supra doesn't use a rotor and cap as such... it uses a cam position sensor which at the end of the day does the same thing just more electronically fancy lol
but you did remind me of one thing to check with that....

Supraman... have a look at the plug on your cps... look at the wires... if they look dodgy or anything i would rewire the plug... the cps has been known to cause strange problems in the past

good luck
