please can someone help!!!! I have just spent the last two months rebuilding the head on my 1989 celica, i am now at my shits end and just want to burn the f**ker (sorry) but i have had it. The first thing i done was throw away the manual it was hopeless. Anyway the short is it is now rebuilt but it won't fire on all four it's running on two. everything is sparking but not firing, could the injectors be shagged or could it be something else? any help would be more than welcome.                                                        thanks johnny

check the obvious first, have you the plug leads on in the right order? checked the cam timing?

If they are old, I would advise renewing the plug leads - I had a similar problem which was easily cured that way - after my friendly Toyota garage had sold me some very

check your timing and make sure your Not 180 degress out

could be the electrical connector to the injectors is duff, try swapping the injectors about and see if the problem moves.

surly everything shouldn't be top dead only two companion cylinders and the other two bottom dead >

thanks i will give it ago

talking about cams and crank.

Mate,

 

Are the in the right order for the direction the dizzy spins ? (Anti-Clock wise IIRC) With 2 of the leads reversed the car will still run (but only on 2) spent many hours with the same "sounding" fault on a sierra. Turned out the we had the correct order 1342 but we thought it went clokwise, so anti-clock we'd actually set it as 1243 !

 

HTH
