Should have mentioned it's a auto converted to manual so I think timing is supposed to be 20 deg btdc. That's what it was set at and tuned at anyway.

Is there any way to check the resistance for the CAS to check if it's faulty?

TPS values are 0.42v idle with engine off and 4.06v wot engine off.

Checked TPS again and adjusted to 0.5v closed but only got 3.30v at WOT with a multimeter. This was tested with engine off and ignition on. While running I had very similar result. It's conflicting values with what the power FC was reading this morning. I had 0.49v at idle (car running) and 4.11v WOT. What are the acceptable values for the TPS? This could be my problem if it uses tps feedback for fuelling maps and it's reading low.

Tried a different set of coil packs (splitfires) and didn't improve. So I put my splitfires back in with a plug gap of 0.55 and still no improvement. Don't know if there is another car in town I can lend coil packs off. Only a couple imports here and even less are modified.

Boost won't go over 0.95 bar atm. As soon as it tries to build boost it coughs and hesitates, pops and backfires then will clear up and pull but is now breaking down above 12psi once it finally gets there.

My coil packs look to be in newish condition. Don't want to go throwing 600 at new coil packs if I don't have to or if it's not the problem.

Checked all earth's. Cleaned aacv while I was at it.

Is there any way to check coil packs with a multi meter? I tried checking between + and - on the coil pack but couldn't get a resistance reading at all. Also tried from the spring in the bottom to every pin and nothing came up on my multi meter. Have I missed something there?

Sounds like a leak under vacuum.

Injector caps, injector manifold seals, Tb shaft seal.

Stuck, busted nrv on the brake booster or pcv valve.

Been loosing any coolant?

Is the keyway flogged out in the CAS/ camshaft drive?

Does the Toyota dealership still have a Dyno?

Pfc's are prone to dry sockets on the boards, can throw up similar issues.... usually more consistent.

No Coolant loss, keyway on cas/camshaft is perfect, no leaks from injector caps or manifold seals. Haven't check TB shaft seal but have sprayed that area fairly liberally with carby cleaner with no change in idle. Not sure if Toyota still have a dyno.

Coated the coil packs in urethane seal coat and regapped the plugs at 0.7 and I did notice a slight improvement initially but still breaking down under heavy load/boost. I think the coil packs are the culprit in this case. I was in denial as they're splitfires and looked to be in good condition, however that couldn't mean there isn't anything wrong with them. Especially since the ignitor is built into each coil pack. Guess all I can do is order some new one's and see how I go. Bit of a roll of the dice but don't have many other options.

If the coils aren't getting enough voltage they will give a low output spark. Tried a temporary decent power feed?

You could buy a set of coils then realize it's the PFC that needs changing, it's more likely if it's older than the coils.

If you've tried other sets of coils with no result then, a new set is unlikely to fix your issue. As Scotty has said, power supply and ground for the coils make an amazing difference.

Your comments about issue improving post coating the coil pack boots.......... I'd try a new coil pack loom, clean your grounding points and/or add an additional ground cable from the back of the head to the battery and add a larger (fused) power wire directly from the battery to the new loom. Clean or swap the ignitor module.

It is odd, spark will usually blow out under peak load and get worse with more throttle and boost.

Leaking fuel injector or poor throttle/accel pump tune or damaged fpr ? Could be flooding to the point of misfire during vac and transition to boost.

I lived and worked in Alice many years ago (had an hr31), so I can empathise. Back then, the local Toyota dealership had a dyno and would tune (mostly Finke buggy's etc) performance cars/buggy's etc.

Power fc is a gtt model and about the same age as the coil packs if not newer (I can dig out the receipt to check). I've checked voltage at the coil packs at idle and they're all getting 14.19v after taking it for a drive last night it is missing at idle and generally running rough.

Will get some new coils packs, plugs and fuel filter and hope like hell that fixes my issue. I could always try my coils in another car and see if it makes theirs run like ass too.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
