Guest hairykrishna Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 There are plenty of owners around the West Mids area that would help, where abouts are you based ? I'm in Kings Heath (Birmingham). This afternoon I'm going to unplug everything I can find, give the the contacts a good clean, and re-connect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 when you tested the plug out the car you did have the plug toughing metal right,depending on how long its been sitting could be fuel, does it have a maf sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Does anyone know if a uk spec igniter is the same as j spec ? If it is you could try mine, i could pop round tomorrow as your only 5 mins up the rd from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Can't see there being any difference in igniters Dunc, if anyone has a 1JZ one that would also work, littlenum would have a couple I assume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Can't see there being any difference in igniters Dunc, if anyone has a 1JZ one that would also work, littlenum would have a couple I assume They certainly look the same with the same plugs going into them.

Guest hairykrishna Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just discovered some water in the boot/spare wheel well and the rear light connectors were all soaking - leaky boot panel letting the rain in. I've given them all a good blast with contact cleaner and will leave it all overnight to dry out. I suppose this could be a short that caused issues? Seems unlikely though. Assuming that doesn't cure it, it'd be great to try your igniter on mine or my igniter on yours Dnk. I think ruling one thing out at a time is the only way to track down the problem.

Guest hairykrishna Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've finally had a nice day and some time to work on it today. Unfortunately discovered the wetness wasn't confined to the boot and that the front passenger foot well is damp too. Luckily the ECU seems dry but assorted wiring in the there is wet. I've wet vac-ed out everything I can and I'm going to grab a load of silica crystals from work tomorrow to chuck in and hopefully dry out the rest. This afternoon I've also replaced all of the coil pack connectors as they were old and knackered - one essentially disintegrated in my hands. Probably not related, but the more I can get in good condition, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Dodgy coilpack connectors are probably very related to any starting problems, they are a known weak point and are quite fragile. For such a cheap part to replace its well worth doing them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hairykrishna Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Fingures crossed its not coming from the heater matrix. It lives on my drive and it seems it's not as waterproof (yet) as I thought, due to various kit panels, so I'm 99% sure it's just due to our lovely weather. It's now under a mahoosive tarpaulin.

Guest hairykrishna Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thought I'd update this thread just in case people searching have the same problem and find it. After drying it out i changed the coil pack connectors and replaced the igniter and it fired straight up. I suppose I'd killed the igniter jump starting it, just as predicted!
