How To: Refurbish coil pack connectors

[Guest phatGZ]

Hi Guys sorry to bring this back but wondering if this connector (part no 90980-11246) is the same for vvti supras?

Only need 3 of them as for some reason toyota decided on a wasted spark system

Thanks

I'm confused, why is it soldering time if new connectors are needed? I looked and mine and it seems the wires just slip into the back of the housing?

I'm sure when you get new female pins you get a short length of wire pre attached so you cut the old one off then solder the new one on.

So the pins come with the new click packs then?

[jevansio]

There's 2 things you can replace, 1 the outer plastic housing, that obviously doesn't require any soldering and is what Ian describes above.

 

But after a while the metal clips inside the housing get beyond their best, so if you order new ones of those you get the female ends with a short length of wire on them, to attach them you need to cut off the old female end (once you've removed it from the plastic housing) and solder the new one on.

 

The process Ian describes above is the plastic housing replace only, you retain you existing metal female pins

 

EDIT Sorry Matt, I just reread Ians original post, I have no idea why "it's soldering time", maybe Ian can explain

Cheers, Jevansio. At least that's cleared up my question, if not what Ian actually means!

I wrote that nearly 5 years ago, I too have no idea what I meant

Is it a big job to remove the harness so I co do it in the comfort of the house

Hi,

Does someone can tell me what are the position of both wires (different colors) in each coil pack, my garage doesn't remember and I don't have another supra near to me

[peter richards]

after a struggle today , and putting one on the wrong way , the orange and black wire is on the clip side

[peter richards]

got another clip from paul , put it all together and it still sounds like a bag of bolts , so open to sugestions

Coill pack gone

Spark plug gone

 

Maybe get out the Multimeter and start testing connections

[peter richards]

ill swap the coil pack over , and see if its that , everything else is new plugs and clips , if that dont work then ive done all i can do

[safcdixon]

Great guide, i would have been los trying too get the clips (that hadnt fallen too bits) Apart, the car seems so much more savage on boost, a job well worth doing

[listy]

Bump as a few people are looking to do this at the moment.

 

Just did mine with the aid of this thread. Great 'How to' Ian, cheers

[mellonman]

anyone know the part number for the pins ?

[Guest ludosupra]

Hello. I plan to do the same thing on my '95 UK Specs. I just have to change the spark plugs for routine maintenance but I think it's better to change the connectors at the same time.

 

I bought this from ebay : http://imageshack.us/a/img822/1224/nk9w.jpg

 

My question is : Where can I find the wire ? Genuine Toyota cost like 10 USD :/

[listy]

Just use the existing wires.

[Guest ludosupra]

Ah ok! Thanks. I'll try to do it before 2014

A couple of my coil clips snapped when I changed the plugs and I've just replaced them with new clips. A video always is easier to follow than pics and

. Easy peezy.

[clay]

wear can you get the clips these days. ?

I just looked on ebay

And they only show the solder on ones. And have to order from CANADA.

[Big Mark]

When I did my car my old ones were so brittle I just used some pliers to shatter the old connectors and then popped the wires with the original metal pins into the new connectors.

 

Got mine from ebay, buy if none there I know Whifbitz sells them. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/toyota-878.html

These are the ones I bought because they resembled the ones used in the video I linked to and they have the leads in case I needed any, which I didn't as I retained the original loom leads and only used the clip itself.
