Hey guys got a quick question.

Recently put an RB20DET into my S13, did a wire tuck while I was at it and put the battery into the boot.

Now the problem is that when I turn on the ignition, the fuel pump doesn't prime. So what I did was hardwire the YELLOW/BLACK cable from the fuel pumps plug which is the 12v wire, straight to the battery. When I do this, the fuel pump primes but doesn't prime for only a few seconds.. It just keeps going.

With this being done, I went to start the car and it only kicks over but doesn't start. The fuel lines are getting fuel and pressure (I can hear/feel the fuel pushing through the lines into the rail).

What I'm stuck at is that the car isn't getting any spark. Everything is grounded properly and the cluster/stereo etc works, same as the headlights and what not.

The 2 green relays next to the ECU also click when I turn it to ignition.

I am yet to try a different CAS/IGNITOR but could these cause this ? The ignitor is getting power (tested with a multimeter) and so is all the coilpacks but the damn thing just don't turn on!

Sorry for the essay.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts.

if you want to check the ignitor, find a big transistor that can handle a lot of abuse (about $3 from jaycar) and make your own single cylinder ignitor. you can find the schematic online but if you need a hand ill scribble something up. dont spose your on the gold coast?

you will need the biggest NPN transistor you can find that needs no more than 1V to switch on. NPN's switch on when power is applied unlike PNP which switch off when power is applied.

this circuit is only good for testing. you cannot run your car properly with it but it is enough to give a spark on the spark plugs

not all transistors are laid out the same way. what i mean is that the EBC (Emitter, Base, Collector) may switch places. eg: BCE

also, you can connect the transistors base and collector to any pins 1-6, as long as the base is connected to the ECU side of things and the collector is on the coil side of things. i just happened to use pin number 6 as an example

umm bro...forget all that lol

jus run a wire from IGN trigger on the body plug near the front left headlight to the coil pack loom n BOOM u got spark LOL happened to me too easy fix

and also u gotta hook up fuel pump trigger from the same plug thats why ur pump is not turning off

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
