Swampy442 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Do NA's have crank angle sensors? Im guessing not if they have a dizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 I did this one when I first had the problem- from what I remember the idle went up a bit, but the black smoke was still there, also I could feel a bit of a vacuum on the end of the hose. Local Toyota garage sorting me out with new leads, cap and rotor for tomorrow. See if these help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 More questions!! I've had a chance to look at the wiring diagrams for the RH Telltale panel after doing a check on the lamps and the local soldering. As there seems to be no power to all the lamps I am thinking there must be a common fault? I've attached a mark-up on the diagram to clarify my thoughts. It looks like the Yellow wire going to pin 3 supplys a common feed to the panel? If this is so, can I check this by switching on the ignition, putting the +ve probe of a multimeter on pin 3 of the plug and the -ve probe to chassis and if all is good I should get a voltage reading? Or isn't it that simple? I'm just wondering that if this panel has not worked during my ownership, perhaps when the alarm/imobiliser or rear fog switch was fitted, the installer cut the power accidently? Sorry, I can't check the car at the moment as I am not home. Thoughts please?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Fitted the new rotor arm, cap and leads, plus cleaned the ICV- things just as bad as ever!! Got to try a sort out the engine check light issues- anyone any ideas?? Also, 2 of the small 'grain sized bulbs', one used in the hazard warning switch (grey plastic back) and the other for the SRS warning lamp (green plastic back) have blown. Can anyone quote a part number or tell me a source for these? My local toyota garage can't find them listed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Had a chance to look at the RH Telltale light panel. resoldered all of the connections on the PC board and YES all the Lamps come on with the ignition key! Fired her up again and of course she's still well rough, and the engine check light was on constantly, but I then did the paper clip in the socket test, but with the ignition on and the engine not running, I still only get a constant lamp and no pulsing- is there something I am doing wrong? I imagine if the check light is on when the engine is running, the ECU has detected a fault? HELP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 The Supra was towed to the garage last friday, about 5 miles from where the car was. I guy said to keep the engine running to keep power steering and brakes. Managed to do this by keeping the revs at about 1200rpm. When we got to the garage and blipped the throttle so much black smoke came out of the axhaust I couldnt see through it!! The garage has looked at the fuel and thinks it is OK- not contaminated- SO PLEASE, ANY IDEAS!!!![OOPS][/OOPS] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 It needs a fault code reader on it for a start, and that should read all the sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If you continue to run it like that it will do serious long term damage, it needs fixing without starting it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 The car was recovered to the Toyota main dealer today to get them to read the fault codes- they couldnt get the thing to read either! Their initial thoughts are a buggered ECU as you guys suggest. Anyone got a good ECU for a 1993 (late) NA auto? Help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 speak to keron he must have a na ecu kicking around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStormNBI Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Got new plugs and stuff today- one stupid question before I start- where's the fuel filter fitted, is it up by the engine, or at the rear of the car??? under the left side of the car, beside the transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStormNBI Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 try check the ecu.. some components tend to fail overtime.. capacitors diodes etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've sent the ECU and Igniter off to the ECU Doctor for investigation and hopefully repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Right. I recieved a call from the ECU Doctor on friday to say my ECU had failed due to components de-grading over the years- the ignitor I sent to them at the same time is OK. They will complete the rebuild, warranty the ECU for 12 months and then return them direct to the garage for installation. Will keep you posted to make sure nothing else is screwed?!

FireStormNBI Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 i had my ECU redpaired by an appliance electrician who repaired our TV years ago. he replaced three capacitors and 2 diodes.. this may sound funny but he did the job well. cost me just 17 US dollars. ECU before repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudder Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Received a phone call from Marsh Toyota Honiton this morning to say they had the ECU and Ignitor back from the ECU Doctor and refitted them. The Supra fired up with the first turn of the key and once warmed through performed a perfect shake down run. The oil was then changed along with the filter and I picked it up this afternoon- everything is sweet again! I'd just like to say that both Marsh Toyota Honiton and The ECU Doctor were excellent + all work, ECU etc are guaranteed for 12 months.
