!I am located in Norway is currently having some problems with my 1991 model MR2, type W2-2,0
Recently it has been raining heavily and some days ago the car suddenly stopped without any warning.
The dashboard lights came on as the engine stopped.The car was towed to my home garage and a squirt of start-gas indicated no spark.
Distributer cap and rotor proved to be in good condition, but no inlet voltage to the coil was found. The measurement was taken at the inlet plug (+ and - lead) leading to the coil unit.I searched further into the fuse box located on the L/H side of the engine compartment and measured across the fuse
fuse ECU-IG 7,5 A located between ignition main relay and ignition coil result was 10.81 VDC with ingnition on .....? The voltage going in to
ignition main relay is 12.8 VDC ( 2 big cabelshoes ) and the relay "clicks" when ignition is turned on. I am wondering if there might be a broken cable between
ignition main relay and the plug going into the coil amybe in addition to ignition main relay beeing bad due to only 10,81 VDC measured over fuse ECU-IG 7,5 AI have to mention that above measurements were done while the large plug on the
"igniter" was removed due to cramped space including distributor cap/HT lead to coil, but I doubt that this should inflict on the result.My local Toyote garage doesn't know the car and will search for faults on a hourly basis, their rate you might probably not beleive
...........Has anybody encountered similar problems or point me in the right direction
?Kind regards
