done any welding on the car?

good grounding? As in engine connected to chassis and battery with a thick cable. If you relocate the battery you will have to connect engine/gearbox with thicker cable to chassis as stock setup relies on the thick battery negative terminal cable and not so thick engine to chassis.

what went wrong with the alternator?

May be able to tell what the car fault is by what was wrong with it.

And did the alt and ecu die at the same time?? or one went before the other??

dose your alternator require a ex regu;ator...some ze ones do......
i killed a ecu pulling the positive lead off creating a nasty voltage spike...so many ways to $&#$% shit

shizzle = gppd
s.hit = bad

can someon fix the world filter so the words make sence

i suspect they did die at the same time, theres only the factory engine to chassie grounings, tiny cables too. one on each side of engine bay.

alternator.

here the picture of the $&#$% bit, theres 4 of these (diodes) and one is completely $&#$%, the dude said thed have to replace alot of other parts aswell

no only the AW11 GZE is external reg.

Chances are that if you did that to the alternator you have had the battery connected backwards.

weird. ok i cant fix high idle, but damn i know what positive and negative terminals are :lol:

do you think anything else could be buggered? all the ignition crap on the firewall?

by **RedMist** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:42 pm

You dont have a kill switch in it do you?

by **bluemaumau** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:57 pm

unless thats a standard feature in a loom, no

by **bluemaumau** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 9:41 pm

can anyone speculate on wther or not other electrical features could be bung?

how can i test ignitors etc?

What fried on the ECU?

I doubt that the ECU would be fried from reverse connection. For the sake of a <1c diode I'm sure the factory would've protected it.
I actually know someone who connected the battery backwards (sorry, but yes a blond girl!!!). And it fried all the fusible links and big fuses, but didn't do any other damage. That was a early ninties RAV...

What did you do when it died? There might be a clue there too. Did you try starting the car and it spontaneous died? Or was it running for a bit then died? Or was it just dead one morning?

pulled engine out for 4 months, put back in, alternator drained power and ecu was $&#$%, caused it to idle at 3k
