RedM Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 JDM TT Auto. Stopped in a car-park to let other half out. Car stalled. No warning light. Restarted is but it stalled again. This time it wouldn't start. Just the starter turning over but not firing. Eventually got it going again but it died after a few feet. Rolled in parking space but nudged a wall. No power, no brakes! AA man came out. He thinks it's a fuelling issue. Said he couldn't hear the pump at all and the fact that it occasionally starts up means it not battery/starter/alternator. He sprayed someting into the air intake which caused the car to start but it wouldn't stay started. Got a low-loader home. Oh, the indignity. Have had RLTC a week now. Could it be faulty? Any ideas? Is it best to get it to Toyota as they may be able to diagnose this problem quicker than a smaller garage. Car is back home now so need to arrange another low-loader.

Robert Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Pull the EFI 30amp (green) fuse in the engine bay fuse box for a minute. I pull both EFI fuses but some people only pull one, doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Fuel pump? I don't think so. Never listened for it so can't tell you. All I get is a kind fo roar and then she settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve single Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Take the 2x 30amp fueses out of the fuse box EFI 1 and the other 1. Green fuses mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Right, I'm off to find my fuse box. Erm, where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Can I leave the engine off when I pull the fuses. It's not like I can get at started anyway? Can the ECU tell I've pulled the fuses if the car is not on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarjo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Just got back from a 20 minute spin in mine. The worst 20 min drive ever in any car! Car kept stalling, would re-start every time thankfully, although never on the first turn. The last two miles felt like the car wasnt changing beyond second gear (auto). First time i pulled over, switched the ignition off and back on again and it seemed ok. The second time I was pulling in to my courtyard so just parked and come into the house. Cold, wet and depressed. Will try this pull fuse out larky and see what happens!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Right, I'm off to find my fuse box. Erm, where is it? On the right hand side dude next to the throttle body, one of the black plastic lids, will tell you which fuse it is under the lid but as Rob said, look for the larger green ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Eeek, sorry I missed your call / text earlier, I've been upstairs most of the day doing DIY crap. Sounds most bizarre, not the sort of thing the Supra normally does... RLTC could well be playing up I guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve single Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 There is another way take the positive and negative off the battery put the two together for a minute that will get rid if any residual currant then put them back on tight!!

neilg Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 mate, mine did exactly the same with my rltc. Was a dodgy unit. I got stuck on the roundabout by Mcdonalds. Have you tried turning the RLTC off? Where is it stuck? Let me know if you want a hand getting it etc, im not far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
