Suprakeith Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Right few updates, with the running issues had Alex come round couple weeks ago and we went through all the coils, loom and plugs again to double check it all and still had no luck getting car to fire and run right, so decided to try the dizzy and adjusted timing slightly and car wanted to start so adjusted bit more and car fired up so now sure issue is the dizzy, removed old dizzy to see if had any play or damage and found big crack in magnet and the bearings had failed and shaft was moving all over place so am pretty confident that is what caused the running issue. So rang Toyota and they wanted £872+VAT for new dizzy, looked online and can get same part from Japan Toyota for £218 so ordered new unit plus have ordered set of new HT leads so can reset engine timing and get car running sweet again. Good news both items turned up last week so plan when Alex free again to fit dizzy and set timing and fingers crossed she's all back to normal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprakeith Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 So started off giving everything good clean and hoover, then went over the really bad bits with wire brush to make sure all clean, once happy painted the metal in a zinc primmer and once dried put silver top coat on, haven't done passenger footwell yet as that's where ECU sits and going to paint that by hand and finish bracket making for the Link ECU to sit pretty. Plus while everything stripped plan to run sound system wires and also re-route Nos lines into engine bay ready to start using Nos system again. also going to sound deaden all under carpet before start the re-fit. Gave Toyota ring today and have ordered new rubber bungs for floor as only £6 each and as can tell from other pics one is well worn and explains why carpet was bit damp in that area Today i also gave the carpet good deep clean I know bit silly to start big job like this while still not sorted car running issue but am pretty confident its dizzy and making most of week of work. Here are pics of progress so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
