Tried tapping but it made no diffrence so waited a min to try start with no taps and it started

Will give the connections a clean see if that works

It started up strong as if there was nothing wrong with it

Went into car this morning to leave for work and it wouldnt start there was no cranking coming from engine so i re locked and armed car then unlocked again done this about 6 times until it finally started . Got to work and turned off car set alarm etc and unlocked to see if it was just a one off but same thing happened any ideas ? Thanks

Thanks dude Least i wont have a scooby on the stand for the SMCS next year He's not back so might just borrow his untill i pick it up from the garage on friday

Had to put in another new distributor cause the one i first got had cracks on the metal shaft that goes into the engine, so replaced that it still wouldn't run! Luckily drift_bear bought a spare ecu just incase, so put that in and boom she turned over perfect!

Woohoo problem finally solved now time to enjoy it!

Hey guys sorry for the long post, but thought i would share how much this club has helped me already As some of you know thanks to Alex (drift_bear) i recently done a deal of swapping my imprezza for my first supra, it is a 1993 NA auto that had a running problem (can see from this thread) which sounded like a distributor problem. After speaking to Nevins and dr_jekyyl, me and Alex sourced and replaced the distributor that was in there with one Alex had got from here, fitted it and the car still wouldn't run! So after replacing the igniter and coil pack with ones borrowed from JDuksey we set about to try and find what else would be causing the problems. We done a diagnostic fault code check and it kept coming back with code 12, so we checked all the wires and hoses and found nothing wrong, so it was time to put the car into an autoelectrician and see what they came back with. The garage managed to get the car running for a whole 45mins and once they applied the accelerator the car died and wouldn't turn over again! They ran a diagnostic check again and it was still coming with code 12 and said it could be the ecu playing up. They checked the distributor and found small cracks on the actual shaft of the distributor that goes into the engine, so once again i was on the hunt for parts! Since Alex set up the swap of cars, he took it upon himself to source and pay for all parts that needed replaced and also the road tax i needed by now. On friday Alex managed to source the following parts distributor, ecu and fuel pump from Keron and our very own mod Sunny! Big thanks to them both for managing to get the parts sent out to me asap and they arrived on saturday morning! I went and dropped the parts off this morning to the garage, they replaced the distributor and it still wouldn't start, so the put in the new ecu and BOOM its alive! So my supra is FINALLY ready :nana: :D So i want to say a big thanks to Keron, Sunny, Jesse, Nevins and Craig for all the help from lending me parts,talking me through stuff and also helping me source parts! Also can't forget a thanks to Alex for going out his way to help get the car going by buying the parts i needed and working on the car with me up untill he had to go offshore. He also offered me the use of his supra while he is away to get my supra fix Makes me see how much this club will help out another member in need, even if i am a newbie hopefully get to meet some more members next year and come along to events with the Scottish lot. Jamie (one happy supra owner)

Got it thanks again guys hopefully it will help keep the bill down

Had a look in faq section but cant see it could you post the link to it please

Yes that what i need thanks for the super fast reply

Hi guys just off the phone to the electricians who are trying to figure out the starting probs they say its pointing to the ecu but they have no diagram for the ecu and without it it will take hours to test all the pins without knowing which pin is what hopeing someone on here has a diagram as they are charging £72+ vat per hour so need to keep the cost as low as possible

Thought I should update this since I finally got my supra today I done a deal last night with a local guy for my scooby and arranged to get alex (drift_bear) to drop off my old car and pick up my supra . Its an NA auto in silver with around 120Km's on the clock, stock apart from exhaust and 18" BBS alloys. The future plans will be NA-T further down the line or maybe TT it (haven't decided lol), I'm going to try and enjoy it as much as I can before the winter sets in!
