Matt H Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My Supra is missing on boost, so I took a look at coilpack connectors and found that one of the metal spade connectors (not sure if that's the right terminology) was not sitting right in the connector housing. I ordered some new plastic connector housings, but when I removed the metal spades from the existing housing, the housing doesn't seem to be the problem (from what I can deduce) 1. As you can see in the pics, one of them looks smaller than the other and I think that's why it doesn't sit right in the housing. Are they supposed to look like this? Should there be more of a metal sheaf around the smaller one? 2. I take it the wires in question are part of the engine bay wiring loom? Or is there a new section of it I can buy to replace the lot - that's ideally what I'd like to do so all the metal spade connectors are brand new. 3. Any ideas / advice on a remedy? I've successfully managed to make the misfire worse by messing around with them Ta Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 yeh looks like the metal spade is the problem then...its shorter so prob not connecting correctly....hense the miss... 2nd pic down, one on the left is what its supposed to be like...you can see its untouched, unlike the one on the right which looks like its been tampered with...

leelbuk Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A new one will need to be soldered/crimped on but where one can get one of these I don't know. I'd be checking Maplins & CPC catalogue for it but I have no idea what the connector type is called in order to help you find it Matt. Perhaps there are other connectors like it on your loom which you are not & will never use again? if so you could remove one of them and use it to replace the broken coil pack connector?

keron Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Dave is it the coilpack clip you have? matt needs the metal part as in the pic which is not part of the clip? but the only way i would solve it is by changing it tbh...i'll see if toyota actually sell them...alternatively as a member said above, you may have another plug with the same part on that you dont use from the single side...(vsv valve etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah it is the wire and pin bits. I have some spare connectors if your ones disintegrate though. I haven't had a chance to make mine look pretty though, just cut the old pins off, twisted the wires together, crimped and electrical tape. I will get a nice plug at some point though as it looks a little rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Toyota sell repair connections as above for nearly all the connectors on the car. I haven't time to dig through my files right now, but I'll try and get the repair lead part numbers soon. They do long and short leads with the terminals factory crimped on. Splice them to the old wire well away from the original connector to avoid wire that's been messed with over the years. Use Duraseal adhesive lined heat crimps to make the repair moisture proof. Id someone can quote the part number of the connector shell (plastic bit) it will speed things up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the plastic bits ready to go as I thought they might be the issue, but the problem seems to be these pins. Big Thanks to The-Plethora and Hodge for their help with this. I'm very humbled This may not be as big a ball ache as I first imagined! Edited January 24, 2011 by Matt H (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 82998-12440 is the 160 mm long repair section and 82998-12590 is the 500 mm long repair section. The housing numbers are 9080-11246 as you will know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
