Soooo I'm working to fix an old 93 1fz landcruiser. After some replacments and getting it running I gave it the good old Italian tune up (reves to like 5k) and now it won't start....... whoops
Some info:
- new alternator which fixed all dash lights being on.. might help someone
- new pcv valve (put in to fix vaccume in head + smoking which didn't fix either, rusty exhaust seems to be holding some water.
- rad flush, new thermostat
- gunk in head + oil cap... sat for like 5 years and started like 10 times a year.
- oil flush
- new water pump
- new spark leads
- doing this on a farm so don't have heaps of tools or workspace haha
- oil is still super clean looking after changing it and running for 30 mins at idle.
It was running abit rough at idle and misfiring So I cleaned out idle control (not sure if I messed something up when doing so). Also removed the throttle position sensor which I put back on in the same place but dont know if that messed up too. After that it was running rough again, reved it and it died.
Sooooo.... spark seems good, so thinking it's fuel related. When I turn the key I can't feel the fuel relay switch on all I hear is the sub tank make a click then turn on, idk why its pumping tho switch seems to be off.
Jumped the pins and the cel just flashes no code.
I've worked on cars for awhile but this is the first time I've done a project like this so have a lot to learn!!
If anyone has some advise on what could be good to check to start troubleshooting that would be amazing, spend hours today on various threads but couldn't get it starting
