sounds like a flat battery if your starter wont even click over

jump start it with another car and if it turns over it is your battery, injectors etc wont stop it cranking lol, once you have it at least turning over but not starting get a consult cable and make sure all sensors are working.

Lol ive had numerous encounters with flat batteries, and I wish this issue were only that.

The battery is new and fully charged. Most of the time it is attached to a battery charger while we are testing.

As I had said the starter motor didnt "feel" like it was clicking, but after taking off the cam gear cover, you can see the gears turning over.

So clearly the solenoid in the starter is doing what it's supposed to :)

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Well we have discovered the problem - we think...

The locater for the CAS sensor - has sheared off from the engine side.

(there is a half circle locator in teh shaft of the CAS - which matches a half circle locator on the engine side.)

until this is fixed and the timing reset we cant be sure of anything else with the car. which suck. but hopefully after this has been fixed it will at least start again :)

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hey Guys,

ohk, so due to time restrictions i'm trying to line someone else up to actually fix this problem.

The issue now is i need a new part to replace the broken one.

I am trawling for service/workshop manuals to find what part i need, but struggling a litte.

So the CAS has a spline with a fitting joint inside according to the diagram i have. It is the fitting joint on the engine side which has broken.

Does anyone know what this is called? or what exact part in the engine it is attached to?

any help would be really awesome!

Thanks Rolls :)

not 100% sure how it actually happened.

the CAS may have seized, but all things considered i would have expected that to cause the locator on the CAS side to break. either way I will be looking into it all again with the new information in mind.

now to the for sale forum i go :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
