TSB Info Needed

[Kacers]

Couldn't find this in the TSB section here. Online searches seem to be for pay sites to access the info.

TEC8616973 NOV 97 ECU/ECM - Intermittent No Crank/No Start.

Chris - you got this one? Did I miss this in the TSB section?

TIA,

If the Check engine light comes on during bulb check, you may want to look elsewhere.

That TSB isnt going to apply to a 95.

 

[Kacers]

Hmmmmmmmmm - this issue wouldn't apply to a '95 D1 would it?

Spraying fuel in the intake doesnt make it run?

No. Neither does starting fluid. Cranks well. Good pressure at the rail and you can hear the fuel pump engaging. Noid light shows the injectors firing. We get spark but it seems weak - its orangy and not the blue I get from my FJ40 with a dizzy. Coil is new MSD and he just put in a new ignition module which didn't fix the issue.

One thing has me stumped. There is a lead from the coil - terminal to the ECU with a resistor in it. That lead tells the ECU when to fire the injectors. Its working since the injectors are firing. However, the test says we should see 0V between battery + terminal and coil - terminal with ignition off. We see 12V which means that lead is getting us ground (via the ECU) with the ignition off. Should this be the case?

One side of your Coil should be 12 volts with the key on... (bright test light) the toher side should flash less brightly while cranking.
