  1. Thanks Steve i know OBD11 readers won't work, he has the old code reader for Lexus and Toyota's. He has been working on these cars for years. Here's his website http://toyotacentre.co.uk very helpful, he also raced supra's years ago too.
  2. Thanks Steve just back from my hols, i must of printed out all the info i could get on the fuel pump and relay for some strange reason on trying to start up there was no 12v from +B and couldn't get diagnostic port to communicate to code reader once it started all ok? hence the bypass after that everything works as normal. He seemed to suspect that part of ecu is not communicating (maybe capacitors like what happens to dashboard lights?) might be at fault and as i needed car in a couple of days to get to airport i was more than happy for him to get it going.
  3. Update, took car to an independent Toyota specialist he located fault to part of the ecu not sending 12v's to efi so now been bypassed with inline fuse, relay and resistors now car starts, goes and stops. 😀😀😀😀😀
  4. Does anyone know why i am not getting power to my EFI relay in the fuse box?. Anyone pls Help
  5. Update: I have tried to bridge fp and b+ (not starting). B+ does not seem to have 12v (when ignition on) also efi relay port does not have 12v (when ignition on) does anyone know why this is so?, where does the power come from ie : ecu etc help is needed (only as need car for holiday in 2 weeks 😳😳😳)
  6. Hi all hope someone can shed some light on a very annoying problem, it started a couple of weeks ago drove car about 6-8 miles stopped done my chores go back in car and wouldn't start. Turns over but not firing called AA he found there was no power to fuel pump (saying suspect fuel pump relay). he them put a power probe on blue wire to fuel pump and bingo it started :). followed me home, got home turned it off and on you guessed it nothing! turns over but not starting. So then i went to Local main dealer who said no not fuel pump relay (does not have one on my model?, its the starter relay) but very much doubts it more likely to be fuel pump £500+ labour (don't think so) why would it start when powered directly from battery?. I have tried another starter relay and made no difference when i use the power probe it works. Can anyone HELP don't want to get rid of car, does anyone know of a relay somewhere else?. i have also tried swapping other relays around still nothing and there was no warning to any problems before it was just something that happened overnight. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
  7. Cheers Steve went to Maplins this afternoon, they only do capacitors at 85c ones
  8. Hi Steve I have PM'd you not sure if you got it?
  9. Thanks Steve looked on Maplins website too, I think I found a site called uk.farnell.com have some but I think they are for trade was going to call today. Will pm my address thanks for offer but I think your just a little too far :(
  10. Cheers The-Acre (Phil) been looking up capacitors got a Maplins near me will go there at the weekend, I have noticed when cluster flashes my fuel gauge drops to zero and up slowly then fast. I presume its the fuel gauge capacitor that's at fault.
  11. Just noticed this morning that my back lights on radio/heating controls are on when headlights switch is off then go out then headlight switch is turned on and lights dim on dashboard (found out they dim to reduce glare at night) so problem is just with lights going out on radio etc, I have a issue with flashing dashboard (capacitors need sorting?) but is this a seperate issue if so ideas would be greatly received Thanks Del
  12. Just seen msg flag on top I'll have a read Malc
  13. Thanks The-Acre that would be great, to add to the problem took the misses to work this morning to find the lights on the radio/heating control are on when headlights off, then go off when i turned the headlights on, so would changing the capacitors likely to fix problem? Or is this a separate issue?
