    Default 20V toyota wont start, need HELP, need 20V Expert QLD, SUNSHINE COAST

    I have a kit car that just had an engine conversion done. The installers did the best they could and then gave it to a auto elec to figure out the rest. Problem is that it wont start and when it does it only runs on a couple of cyl's but usually it wont start at all
    I live on the Sunshine Coast if anyone knows anyone that is very good with 20V ecu and wiring that would be great - Cash paid

    Chuckster was nice enough to come around a couple of times he sorted out a few things, but never got it starting properly
    PS: Thanks Chuckster

    have a look at the booster vac lines etc if you can post up a pic of your intake manifold and how the lines n stuff are sitting, that will be a start, i have a good 20v ecu and a hacked up loom suitable for RWD, only thing missing are the ecu plugs

    i had the same problem on mine was getting a shit load too much air
    2T out 4A in....

    4A out 3VZ in. 3vzfe rebuild, RWD-ising, and conversion for ta22

    fwiw: this now starts!

    being a fibre-glass shell, there were connectivity issues in the power supply lines going from battery to cabin and then to engine bay. These were temporarily fixed by cleaning and tightening two connection 'posts' that were tucked inside the centre console. There was a connection for both sides and both had corrosion.

    Jason had installed a map-sensored ECU and long with an adaptor cable. All was good except:
    - during cranking, B+ voltage would drop to 5-8V (see above)
    - G1 & G2 were swapped (now fixed)
    - G- was not connecting thru the adaptor cable (looked OK but multimeter said otherwise so we bridged it)

    We also added a wire for the check engine light (they had put in a connector for TE1 but otherwise deleted the diag port)

    Engine now starts! We are now waiting for skid pics.

    Is a ~500kg car, silvertop motor, mid-engined and uses transaxle gearbox - skids should be entertaining and involve tight circle-work
