yes im using rev1 N/A chassis loom, rev1 turbo engine loom and rev1 turbo ecu.
im quite sure i did check those wires on the ecu but i will check it one more time. what do you mean with CEL?

Yeah Paul will have to help you ... with repining .

[Gimbaz]

ok
yes the Cel comes up on ignition.

Another question.
i been looking for an ecu to buy. even if that isnt my problem it could be nice with an spare one in the garage.
i wonder if the 89661-17322 and 89661-17321 are the same?
as i read the 21 got replaced by the 22. during dates of production.
cheers Daniel

Did some googling and The internet seems to think both are rev1 jap ecu's

[Peter Gidden]

i have no spark.

You have checked for power to coil and ignitor with ignition on?

On some conversions you have to cut and shut black/red wires to power coil and ignitor in engine compartment fuse box.

[PW@Woodsport]

Suggested that one Peter, he has power at both coil and ignitor.

If everything wiring related checks out and the coilpack/ignitor is well grounded you must have a component issue.

Diagnosing this is difficult via the internet, but as a start, hook an LED light up to both wires going to the coil, + to + and - to - or it won't flash.

Crank the engine over and the LED should pulse brightly.

It will rule out Dizzy/ECU and ignitor and wiring between them all as the culprits in one test.

How you getting on mate .. remember i just advised getting a rev 1 turbo chassis loom .. tricky repinning isn't it

[2mad]

Just thought i'd say not trying to pick a fight with Paul (one of hes biggest fans, love his work) ... is just what i was told and it worked for me

[PW@Woodsport]

It's ok, he rang me a few days ago and i sorted it out over the phone, engine now running.

Poor connection on the distributor to blame.

[2mad]

Thats sweet .. I stand corrected .

[PW@Woodsport]

To be honest a rev1 turbo engine loom should just plug in and work on a Rev1 NA (except 3s-fe) , so there had to be something else going on.

All sorted now that's the main thing.

[2mad]

All sorted now that's the main thing.

Defiantly thats what us and the forums here for .. well done Paul

[Gimbaz]

sorry for my late reply, been so busy at work.
Hadf a Nice talk with Paul over the phone and its now sorted.
a broken connector on the distributor.
have not done any repin at all.
the last thing nowe is the COR rewire, the car runs for for only 3-4 seconds and then Stops. a simple fix that i will try to fix on friday.
About Paul!
what a nice and helpful guy. Many many thanks to Paul.
we need more of guys like him dont we?. He is the Gury of Mr2
Cheers Daniel

[Gimbaz]

so i got her running now .
i turnet out i did not have to do anything with the COR wires either.
my problem is in the afm.
it runs for just some seconds when i start it.
i can hear the flap in the afm Close when it stops.
if i hold the flap a bit open it runs and i can rev it up etc.
i can hear some noises in the afm while runnig so its not dead.
any suggestion?
cheers Daniel

[PW@Woodsport]

Do you have any air leaks between the AFM and throttle body? Any leak of metered air will stall the engine at idle.

I.e, the intake system must be sealed or recirculating between AFM and throttle.

[Gimbaz]

i have tighten every clamp once again and sprayed startgas around hoses etc to se if the Engine change rpm but it does not.
it looks like someone have opened the afm as its been siliconed back again and the afm is not from this Engine.

[2mad]

Think you got your answer .. get your self a second hand working afm .

[Gimbaz]

hi again. its been a while since i posted. been working with other things on the car.
it still does not run proper.
i bought a new afm but it did not help.
if i start it it will run fore some seconds and then stopps.
if i put something to open the afm it runs at idle and i can test it for any leaks but i cant find any. if i puch the afm open and high rev it it runs .
but it does not hold the airflap in the afm open by it self.
any suggestions?
thanks Daniel
