I have a 1988 toyota pickup w a 5spd and a V6 and i cant get it to start. The motor turns over but there is no spark, i've replaced the ECU, distributer, coil, igniter, and have checked all the fuses and still nothing does anyone have any ideas b4 i rip it out and put a 22r in it????

 

all the wires are attached? sometimes the easy stuff gets forgotten... don't ask how i know

 

I've ben looking through all the wires and havnt found a break yet but i'm going to keep lookin because i was told that it could be a ground wire not attached

 

got the coil wired up right?

 

What exactly did you do to the engine? When was it last running?

 

the original engine blew up bout a year ago and it was running up intil then and then i parked it bc i have a 1984 toyota that i use as a DD so i was in no rush to fix it. and yes the coil is right.

 

i hav sum more symptoms it has a weak spark when u turn the key to the off to on position but once the stater is engaged the spark ends and if u unscrew the igniter from the coil braket and scrap it on the bracket u can make it spark. is it suppose to do that?

 

Check the codes from the ECU. Jumper terminals E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port next to the fuse panel on the passenger side of the engine bay, then turn on the ignition & count the flashes of the Check Engine light.

 

NO WORRIES!!! I found it!! it was just a unplugged ground wire but i would like to thank all of u who helped me

 

hey mcleodboy i have ther same problem. will turn but no spark. i know u fixed it but i replaced the igniter the efi relay the coil and distributor where was that ground u found?

 

also check the plug ontop of the igniter i had the same problem on my old 90model and replaced the igniter and the old one was fine but the plug on top of it had a loose wire and that caused the same problem nothing but pulling out the wire cleaning it off and reconnecting it and putting some RTV on top of all of them to keep em in place
