MR2 not cranking

Postby Boosted_162 » Mon May 04, 2009 7:11 pm

Just adding to the fun im having with my SW20.

Started out by changing the injectors. All good. Go to start it, and turns over fine but wouldnt start assume just air in lines. Try again and it makes some horrible noise. Now it just clicks and doesnt crank. Have put the standard injectors back in.

Its not battery. Was fine before, also tried another and jumpstarted. No difference. Changed starter motor. No difference.

When i turn the key to start, PowerFC shows voltage goes to 5v then shuts off.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was guessing it could be earth related. Do you know where abouts the earths are around the intake manifold? I know i didnt remove any, but i may have knocked one off. I know there is one on the drivers side by the fuel reg which runs to the strut, have checked that and is fine.

If it's not cranking it's more likely to be the main earth between the chassis and the top of the gearbox, either that or the one from the battery to the chassis.

Have added another earth in to the battery, and another earth for motor/gearbox. Also sprayed some CRC on starter relay plug (just incase ya know :lol:). Also put in the other battery....

And yippee!!! Cranks over mint now!!! :D :D :D. Doesnt have the throttle body and half the plumbing so wont start, but it cranks!!!

I owe you a beer or a dozen Fivebob. Thanks alot for your continued help :D
