Daily Driver Died?

[unarmed_skyline]

Ok the cars a 1973 toyota corolla with a supercharged mr2 engine in it. It has a microtech computer running everything after market fuel pump and a vision alarm system.

Now i was driving along not hammering it just turned the supercharger on (has a electronic clutch) and the car died on its arse, what happened was the car was still ideling whilst going but the accelarator pedal wouldn't do anything the car wouldn't rev at all.

the car then stalled when i lost speed. when i went to turn it back on the car cranks but does not turn over,

its not a battery problem. but the microtech seems not to be turning on and it should turn on when the car is on accessory this doenst turn it on, and because the microtech doesnt turn on the fuel pump is not turning on either thus the car is not getting any fuel.

i think it might be an alarm problem because the alarm used to unlock and lock the doors and now it seems just to turn the sensor light on an off and the alarm doesnt go off when the sensors are triggered, but as i did not fit the alarm i duno how to bypass it and i am not entierly sure this is the problem. anyone got any suggestions on what else it could be??

oh the car has a brand new alternator as well and the alternator belt is new and fine

Find the wires for the alarm, find out where they go to etc etc, check they are connected, not broken and check them for continuity.

Is the microtech getting power from the battery at all? Something might be loose.

Basically, just do some checking first, see what you can find. After that you might have to take it to an autoelec.

Which is it? Cranking and turning over are the same thing. Does it crank? If you only had the alternator installed recently id be looking at that. Could be a fault there. Dont assume because its new that its not the problem. More often that not a fault in fitment or the new item itself is the cause.

If its not cranking over at all check your battery voltage. If its low jump start or charge it up then check for alternator charge rate both at the alternator and the battery terminals. Let us know how you go.
