My celica dont wanna start

ok after all the work ive done, i finally finished my long partially delayed service before i got it running, oil, coolant, distributer cap and rotor, spark plugs, etc

and after troubleshooting the lack of spark, i noticed, there is a green electrical clip that has nothing connected...hmm mustve been missed? what does it connect too?

thanks.

oh and how can i tell if my injectors are opening or not?

 

I bet he is referring to something on the coolant inlet hose that has all the sensors on it.

 

i ment the green clip on the bottom of the distributer, i found a green wire clip hanging, so i cliped it 2gether and the car still wont start, is it possible it could be the coil?

 

bump i think its the coil

 

Not to be mean or anything, but did you plug the coil in, and how about the igniter? I'd back track seeing if you have everything plugged in on the harness before moving onto getting new parts.

 

yeh ill take a picture, theres a clip on the top of the coil, and the coil lead going to the distributer is connected....

 

bump

until i get the picture i need some more opinions i really wanna drive her again

 

yep. clamped a working plug to the head and plugged the lead into the cap. nothing.

i was gonna take a picture today but wasnt sure of what to shoot?

whats the igniter? unless thats a name for something i no.

ok lets just get everything straight then CUZ I REALLY WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR COME ON!!!

attention MAFIX - XR PILOT - CRAZY ACHMED or anybody else who knows the celica inside out!!

-spark plug leads connected
-lead to coil connected
-clip ontop of coil connected
-clip attached to the underneath of distributer connected
-brand new cap and rotor, no spark still, but i no the old cap was shot.

notthing else really comes to mind.

PLEASE HELP ME IM SERIOUSLY GETTING REALYL PISSED OFF IVE COME SO FAR (for a nearly 16 yr old) AND I REALLY JUST REALLY WANT TO DRIVE HER!!!! :cry:

 

The igniter is what triggers the coil. I don't know where it is in the FWD vehicles. You could have a bad one.
Have you checked to make sure all your grounds are good? I would go through and clean them all off with
sandpaper. Are your wires good? I really need to know more about what you did to try and help.

 

um yeh ill look into that still wating for my cash to come

the coil is on the strut bar, or is that the igniter? or is that the same thing?

 

um what

the coils in the distributer? WTF?

 

well ok then, is it the coil giving me problems or the igniter? im starting to get really confused

 

hahahah yes he should

well does any1 (still including you rye) know how to test if an igniter/coil thing works without a multimeter?

 

hello mafix? lol
