forgot vid

Wow about time i updated this as have had so much going just totally forgot about it, Long story short Alex came over and we reset ignition timing using dizzy cap with HT Lead and timing light, can fired up and ran perfect but when went out for test drive she started misfiring again and was massively down on power as would expect, we both at lost and thought had to be coils again.

So after few weeks searching internet came across company in Australia called Supraworld who sell a billet coil bracket for the GE and longer coil stalks, some reason no one in UK does they only sell the GTE brackets for ignition coils. 

After few weeks kit turned up and was very impressed with the quality of kit, came with all new stalk springs and fixings, def was very happy with kit.

That weekend decided to fit the longer stalks to the SRD coils and get bracket fitted, again car started up perfect but once again took her for test drive and was missing again so was really confused as to what was going on as had Mike remote in when car was idling and ECU was flagging no issues or faults at all, so was thinking only option left deliver car to SRD for Mike to sort, was really frustrated and annoyed as we had tried everything could of.

Left car running while too fully charge up battery and was just looking around engine trying all vac hoses again just incase missed something as you do was second guessing myself, while leaning over bay i caught one of the coil wires and note of car changed so thought that was really odd so wiggled few wires and car began hunting and missing again, so again spoke to Mike and he said re-check coil loom, even though myself and Alex had all ready done full check using multimeter, we disconnected all coils again and wire wiggling wires and using multimeter we were getting different readings, so removed coil connectors from loom and 4 out of the 6 weren't fully crimped properly and had strands of wires, so turns out all along the issue was the Whifbitz R35 coil loom that came when ordered R35 conversion kit.

I ordered all new connectors and Alex rewired all new connectors to loom while also fitting new pins to wires and bingo bongo car was perfect again and drove better than she had in ages, was over moon but at same time very annoyed duo to poor quality of coil loom from Whifbitz.

Also new fuse box cover had arrived from Toyota.
