car is a ae101 levin, motor runs perfect except sometimes it just stalls and is hard to start, dont think it is fuel as you can smell it when you try to start it, hooked up a timing light an started it an light was cuttin out at same time engine was splutering, so i think it is the coil and or ignitor, anyone else had this problem?
thanks

i just had an ae101 coil die on me, try replacing that. Same as 1uz-fe coils.

yea i just stalls whenever, engine light comes up then dies

plugs and/or coil?

just had a weird problem in a mates ae101, ran for a couple of minutes then just died and wouldnt start for another 5-10 mins each time, diagnosed the shit out of it (had no spark) and ended up using the secondary wires off the link ignitor to the coil, cleaned the plugs and voila!

have you gone through the basics, eg checked spark and fuel flow?

(failing that, i've got a spare ignitor and coil you could borrow if need be)

yea tried to put in diag mode but check lt never flashed, i dont think it is the plugs because i had the timing light on the lead from the coil and it was missing, would it be more likely the coil or the ignitor?

may be but just for shits and giggles, check the earthing. problem is im sure the engine check light shouldn't come on if its just a coil or ignitor gone wrong.

you sure its not a miss-fire?

by **RickGT** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:36 am

yea sure its not a miss fire, yea ill look at that too
thanks

well it is now running fine, but the engine light is constantly on, but does flicker now and then (not flashing)
i tried to run error codes but when e1 and te1 are bridged the engine light does not even flash at all
any ideas
