my 1995 supra engine wont fire

GMKC1234 · 08-24-2006, 06:42 PM

I was told that my igniter in my 90 7mgte was bad, put a used one in and still cranks but does not kick in. (kinda sounds like a car out of gas.) I have not driven in a year and I miss the road...any clues?

The mechanic I went to was pretty thorough and checked to conclude it was igniter. I tried to jump start after changing igniter, same result. Would the low battery eclopse a jump start?

Point blank it wont kick over.

Wait a bit longer, save some money, buy a new engine, with turbo and tranny...simple fix!

Other than that, you MAY have just gotten a bad igniter again...the used one.

Thanks my fellow brother in Supra. The sad thing is I only have 128K on the engine. I am in NJ and i will ultimately need some one to rebuild my bottom half of the engine (rod knock wife drove it w/o oil 3 years back) Ironicly it still runs strong and hard. I am getting the batter recharged and I will check with the use of another igniter. The seller of the one I bought has a 100% rep on ebay and said if I find out what the problem is, send back igniter and he will exchange for what is needed. I have had threads come back that led me to, timing belt, starter, throtle positioning sensore, and fuel pump.

I am trying to find out who might be best to handle this in the area. The way the engine runs, as it is I can still get another 100K out of it.

Thanks for sending me in the right direction and if all else fails, another engine it will be.
