    Default 20v wont start

    basic rundown,

    Microtech LTX8
    just swapped originaly injectors back in
    new plugs
    bosch coil packs

    the car has spark and its getting fuel, injectors are pulsing, the car cranks but doesnt fire, it semi fires like a splutter at first then notthing

    that was the only other thing i could think it would be BUT you can adjust the timinig using the microtech and its easier than trying to get behing the head to loosen the dizzy but i dont have a handset

    its not too hard to get in there to loosen the dizzy. use a flat ring spanner and you'll be able to get to it.

    ooww may have your answer!
    You said you just swapped the std injectors back in. Did you adjust the impeedance setting on you ECU back to the Std impeedance ( ohms )?
    or are they the same impeedance?

    :S no idea. anybody know?

    seems the crank alot smoother and feels like its having a better go. played around with the dizzy to no avail. might =have another go and change the order of the leads around jusstt for fun.

    sideshow is coming out on sunday

    ok sideshow came out

    we put the 1JZGTE injectors back in, it started with the 20v ones but the map was setup for the 1J ones and seemed to run alot better on them also.

    the main problem was actually my battery, although it had an ok charge it was pretty old and shitty and he told me that when the voltage drops too much the microtechs go a bit funny.

    so in short the car runs i had everything sweet except for a shit battery. sounds tough as too with jsut the extractors!!! hehe
