Hey,

im having an issue with my toyota soarer, when ever i go to start it the car will rev to 1,100 for about 1 sec then it slowly dies and stalls.

its taking about 4 times to start it but when the car is up and running it is absoltly fine.

revs perfectly and no problems after trying about 3 times..

iv checked my vacum lines and they all seem fine?

thanks alex<BR clear=all>

Hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaa Socrates!!!! Where'd you hear that :P

Seriously though OP why ask that here on a skylines forum??

As socs said it sounds like your ecu caps are busted. Go to passenger door, pull up the carpet..

Unbolt the black cover. Unbolt the ENGINE ecu. It's the one on the right.

If you see some greasy crap pooled around that smells like cat pee... There's your problem.

Take it to an electronics repair shop. Get them to replace your capacitors. Should be about 100 odd dollars .. Or take to jaycar buy your own caps and do it yourself.. Personally I wouldnt do this myself...

Failing that ... There could be a problem with your fuel pump ecu..

Hold on I'll link you on how to diagnose that..

Ps don't ask soarer questions here man you're lucky there's a soarer nerd on deck :P

Okay as for the possible fuel pump ecu problem... I won't bother linking you to it because it's too hard explain.. Reading about it gives me a headache so if you want to either fix / diagnose your car, PM me your number and I'll give you a call and we'll take it from there

What a helpful young lad. Rowan, you would make your mum proud. Haha

Mums just sold her soarer.. It gets picked up next saturday so then we'll only have two :(

We need another jap car to replace it...

E51 elgrand??? :)

Sold to Matty? If so, I told him to buy it!! (I ended up buying an AU falcodore, 99 model 158km $2500 - couldn't resist.. Thanks though!)

Yeah Matt bought it... He told me Lachlan told him about it, I was like.. Erm... How did lachlan know we were planing on selling OLOLOLOL

And yes very happy that we sold a car without putting it on the market!!! I think he'll be a proud owner :)

there is no reason for oil to be in the diagnostics port :/

you are talking about THIS right?

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
