My Soarer Is Starting And Stopping..

[Shmee33]

Hey,

im having an issue with my toyota soarer, when ever i go to start it the car will rev to 1,100 for about 1 sec then it slowly dies and stalls.

its taking about 4 times to start it but when the car is up and running it is absoltly fine.

revs perfectly and no problems after trying about 3 times..

iv checked my vacum lines and they all seem fine?

thanks alex<BR clear=all>

Get the capacitors on your ECU checked and replaced if you havent done already.

It's a very common problem

Hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaa Socrates!!!! Where'd you hear that

Seriously though OP why ask that here on a skylines forum??

As socs said it sounds like your ecu caps are busted. Go to passenger door, pull up the carpet..

Unbolt the black cover. Unbolt the ENGINE ecu. It's the one on the right.

If you see some greasy crap pooled around that smells like cat pee... There's your problem.

Take it to an electronics repair shop. Get them to replace your capacitors. Should be about 100 odd dollars .. Or take to jaycar buy your own caps and do it yourself.. Personally I wouldnt do this myself...

Failing that ... There could be a problem with your fuel pump ecu..

Hold on I'll link you on how to diagnose that..

Ps don't ask soarer questions here man you're lucky there's a soarer nerd on deck

[Mr Eps]

Okay as for the possible fuel pump ecu problem... I won't bother linking you to it because it's too hard explain.. Reading about it gives me a headache so if you want to either fix / diagnose your car, PM me your number and I'll give you a call and we'll take it from there

Those wheels look fantastic, even though you could get away with chromies on that car, it's a refreshing change.

Sold to Matty? If so, I told him to buy it!! (I ended up buying an AU falcodore, 99 model 158km $2500 - couldn't resist.. Thanks though!)

[Mr Eps]

Yeah Matt bought it... He told me Lachlan told him about it, I was like.. Erm... How did lachlan know we were planing on selling OLOLOLOL

And yes very happy that we sold a car without putting it on the market!!! I think he'll be a proud owner

[Mr Eps]

And centuries are not sevs complianble are they? Although I have seen one in my area...

Either way centuries are shit hot and those rims are perfect

[Ten Four]

LOL, nah I told him about it.

Fool. Hope he looks after it!

[Socrates]

it was me that was confused and thought lachlan had said it.

matty is quite excited i'm gonna drop him off next sat.

[Mr Eps]

So I see!

Well cheers to all involved were all very happy to see it go to him, I know I am!!!

[Mr Eps]

there is no reason for oil to be in the diagnostics port

^^^that's a diagnostics port, it's in the engine bay and it's next to the intake manifold.. or are you confused with something else...?

and did you call me from someone else's phone? a girls phone?
