I recently posted a tread requesting help to get my 1jz running but i just cant get it running and i give up. Its a S13 with 1jz swap, the only thing i have done on it its added after market cam gears and a timing belt. Its been sitting in my garage for 2 months now and each day i get out to go to work and just see it sitting there is driving me insane... my daily driver is on its last legs and if i don't get it running soon after all that time and money ill have to end up selling it the way it is and i really hope it does not come down to this...

The harness was done at tech2motorsports, and i also was an idiot of buying there $1500 swap kit and paid like $500 for harness and like $500 for other bullshit... if anyone is planning on doing this and has those guys in mind DON'T EVEN BOTHER... YOU WILL REGRET IT TRUST ME.

Anyways like i said its all done... but i just can't get it to spark... it keeps cranking over but no spark... who knows it could be something stupid but like i said i give up messing with it and its just painful watching it each day sitting in my garage collecting dust. I'm willing to pay someone to come and see if they can get it running. I live in Sarasota, right now i don't have much money but hopefully ill be getting a 2nd job this week and ill have some money next paycheck. Please who ever has any idea and its willing to help me out let me know how much u would like me to give u and ill let you know when i have the money. Thanks

i dont know much about 1jz but i remember you saying something like you jumped a wire on the crank position sensor....in my 87 i touched some wrong wires putting the car back together and it fried my ecu...just a thought

trade you for a 91 s13 coupe with a ka24de 5 speed and a supra

 

I tried a different ECU, Ignitor and Map as well my buddy has the same swap in his S14 and still does not get a spark so i know is not those 3 things. Thanks for the offer but if i decided to sell it ill only take cash, i really don't want to think about that right now because its a hard decision to make.

 

I'll have like $300 this Friday

 

make sure its grounded real good...a mustang gt we were working on was having issues because of lack of ground did you try and new cam position sensor? check relays fuses etc? is there continuity in the coil,igniter, etc any voltage readings whatsoever?

 

all fuses are good i checked them twice, the coil is getting 12v i believe ill double check that this week. it just sucks looking at it knowing i got it all to just drive it but i just cant get it to start!!! driving me nuts

 

You really should get a 12v bulb and hook it up to the code light, and check the codes.

 

hes right thats how i figures out my ecu was fried my cel didnt even come on i had to turn the ignition 5 million times to get something to flash on the diagnoses port

 

usually it's the ecu, but since you noted that you double checked this, are you getting proper fuel? also, another guy in tampa had a similar issue due to a bad CPS.

 

likely culprit is cps.... feel free to text me, and i'l see if i can offer some insite. 352-816-2407
