I hooked up an acell coil and can't get it to start. It stumbled a lil but not full start. It would vary depending on how far I pushed the plug wire onto the coil. I have a set of some good red wires from ebay. The wires work great with Toyota round coil but not with the acell 8140c. I don't think I would need the 8140hv. The acell coil won't even work with stock wires. I'm at a loss, not sure what's going on or what to do.

Anyone else have issues like this with upgraded coil?

 

my 22re wouldn't stay running till I had the ign wire connected to the correct side of the ignition coil...

try swapping the black wire to the other side...

 

It runs both ways with wires well did. Can't get AFM right now, won't stay running or adjust its self with AFM changes and filter off. Something makes howling noise from back of motor. I'm getting fed up.

 

just go back to the old coil then

 

I am and won't work now. Should have left it alone.

 

so the only thing you messed with is the coil?

 

Yeah that's it. I installed stock coil back in and trying to tune to run right with AFM but now it wont. I don't know where the stock setting on AFM is, where I should be, I'm all sorts of messed up now. I wish I had a wideband to help me tell where to tune it to. I ordered a new TPS thinking that's been an on going issue with it why it stumbles and what not. I hope that's the case but then have to try and tune with the AFM again and hope it works.

 

ok so at least the coil is not an issue, you just have the AFM issues..

good luck

 

That and the TPS I think. It's just one thing after another. The coil is an issue hence it wont work with the acell coil that others use ok and mine wont. I don't get it.

 

Check for codes. This should ALWAYS be the first step when troubleshooting.

And test parts before replacing them. Don't just throw parts at it...fix it.

 

I'll have the codes checked, but no lights on dash.
I tested the TPS a while back like I read to and it tested failed so that's why I bought a new one. I tested it while adjusting the timing of the motor.

It has aftermarket cam but the timing was high seemed like to I put down to about stockish around 7-8. I think it was at 11, can't recall. Seems to run good still.

The way I tested the TPS was by jumping the two sensors in the drivers fender area to see if it drops rpm and it didn't so that's how I read it fails. I had to jump the tps to adjust timing if I remember right. I hope I get it running good again, I'm gonna go out and mess with it today to see if it changed. I heard you can pull a 15A fuse under the dash somewhere to reset stuff.

 

Not all codes illuminate the check engine light. You can pull codes yourself:

Might just need to be adjusted. Test it using the following method:

Thanks for the info, I'll test and see what it says and go from there.
