Solved! Cant believe i was so stupid not to check if fuel is injected thank you guys!

Looks like i was wrong... Maybe the spark is ok. Just realised that i cant smell petrol when i take the plug after trying to start the engine. But i can hear the pump working. Dont know where to start again

Well i think theres a weak spark, because you can barely see it even at night. What other sugestions would be? Iridium plugs? An they be gone all at the same time? Before it stalled there were no single misfire

I did check the harnesses and ecu, but as far as i understand, they were ok. I cant just all the parts just for testing I hope someone has the same problem before and knows whats the problem.

I would like to come to the meet by my own car, not by bus The new igniter didnt fix the problem... If anyone can help me to solve the problem, I have started the thread here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?282321-Weak-spark-to-the-plugs-engine-does-not-start

Thanks David, I know that, but can you tell me how to fix it?

Forgot to mention - i found the trouble code 14 flashing, but after reseting the ecu, it has gone, but nothing changed...

I took one plug out and put to the coil on the rocket cover, ensuring it has a ground connection, and then just tried to start the engine watching the plug

Hi! I need some help here... Theres a very weak spark on the plugs and the car doesnt start. It happened suddenly, i drove the car to my friends place, and after 15mins it didnt start again. I checked the terminals for the igniter, and found 12v 5v and ground as well, which is normal i believe. I put the new igniter, but still the same... All the wires seem ok, HKS S40i plugs fitted few hundred miles ago. I never had a single missfire or any other problems with ignition or fueling. Any ideas?

superb article! Thanks!

I have one as well, but i dont think the sensors are the same... The best is too google for oem lamda code, i believe its Bosch. Aem's is Bosch as well but they might have a different resistance so the output can be different and that can makes things even worse.

Well, great news before my first meet with you... My supra just died today by my friends house as I come to pick him to the airport. Looks like igniter is gone. So I left the car by his house at the small parking space, and I came back tonight to see if shes ok, and i found a big scratch on the rear bumper... Neither laugh nor cry

Well i have seen few cracked blocks in my life from overheating, but thats a very rare case of course. Rebuilding engines is my hobby, i have done arround 20 of them, so i got a clue, and this engine looks fine after all the tests i've done, sadly it wasnt me who did the repair before i got it. And the overheating problem doesnt seem so common, because usualy cars overheat on idle or low speeds if theres an air jam, or thermostat problem, but this one doesnt. I'll do the tests and i'll let you know what was the problem. Firstly i need to change the igniter which died today thank you all for the advices anyway

Im pritty sure theres no air in the system... Nobody knows when this problem started, but as the engine block was cracked, i believe it was because of overheating before.

Thats lots of information, thanks! I couldnt find this problem on forum, because its not very usual overheating. As far as i know, my car just had engine bottom cracked and replaced, so cylinder head is skimmed, cambelt, water pump and all the gaskets are new, but not sure if genuine. The cooling system is full with no air and non genuine new radiator cap looks like working fine, so i consider there may only be three things causing overheating - coolant, thermostat or radiator. Even with temperature reading on the dashboard just above the normal i can hear the coolant boiling at the top of the radiator... As far as i know the propper coolant shouldnt boil to at least 130 degrees by celcius, so maybe thats the problem

Thanks guys! You made up my mind so maybe its not even worth to change my old oem as it looks fine from outside... Why is it overheating then...?

what im thinking is, tuned engine needs more cooling, so im not sure how many horses OEM radiator can cool down to Stevec: how many Bhp have you got in yours?

Hi! My tt is overheating in higher speeds, so I'm thinking to start solving problem by changing 19y.o. oem radiator. Have anyone tried those cheap non branded aluminium 'performance' radiators (140-180 on ebay)? They look exactly the same as some good branded ones, and as far as I know they are the same in some cases, they just put a branded logo and double the price. Please, share your experience Thanx!

I will do my best to be there on 4th Is it Bluewater by Dartford you are meeting at?

Hi guys! Im very fresh here, so dont blame me for stupid questions please I'd love to come and meet you all, but got really tired reading this forum from the beginning... The rules still havent changed? You still meet on first friday of the mnth?
