Guest Evo TME Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 hi, i just bought me a twin turbo MKIV supra and took the car to have an oil change and the idiot mechanic put way too much oil in the engine (about twice the max level on the dipstick). the car was running fine from the garage to my home and then it just didnt start again. the engine turns fine but no spark at all. I have already drained the excess oil to the dipstick's max level and still nothing, i will check the sparks today to make sure they are not covered in oil, any other suggestions???

Swampy442 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Are you sure its no spark? Could be no fuel? Things to check, fuel pump working, EFI fuses, coil pack clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things to check, fuel pump working, EFI fuses, coil pack clips. i checked the fuel pump and it was working fine, all fuses have been checked too and all are fine, only need to check the sparks today...hopefully they are the issue...any other thing to check??

Chucky_waR Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If there is to much oil in the engine will it push past the rings and smudge the spark plugs or will it just pop a seal or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 any joy yet? plugs can be changed easily unless its an NA then its a pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky_waR Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm sure if he imported a US Spec TT it won't be an NA lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evo TME Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 i have removed the old plugs and surprisingly there was no oil on them...i took out all the oil from the engine will leave it overnight with the drain plug open to get all the oil out...hopefully tomorrow il get a chance to put some fresh oil and plugs and the thing will start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I can promise you the oil isn't the issue. Igniter units do just suddenly go, could be that, is it auto or manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evo TME Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I can promise you the oil isn't the issue. Igniter units do just suddenly go, could be that, is it auto or manual? 6 speed manual while were talking about the possibility of the igniter being the problem i will do a spark test tomorrow before i put the new oil and sparks on..... any idea if a JDM igniter would work on my US spec supra???

Guest Evo TME Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 bump bump will a jdm igniter work on my U.S spec supra?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If it looks the same, chances are it'll be the same. Do you have any photo's of your igniter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yup, as will a 1jz igniter from a Soarer etc if you happen to have a friend with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evo TME Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 i just talked to the SupraStore.com guys and they confirmed that the jdm and US spec ignitors are the same....i tried my brother's jdm igniter and still the car didn't start...any other recommendations as this issue is starting to piss me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky_waR Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Immobiliser maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Have you tryed to bump start? Mite clear out any crap... Doubt its the Immobiliser, if it were the car wouldn't try and turn over. Really does sound like a fuel issue I'd try to bump start it 1st... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the build spec, walbro is the usual choice for BPU power. Glad you got it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
