7MGE Crank/No Start
Hey guys, don’t mind me posting here, the Cressida subreddit doesn’t seem too active. I recently picked up an MX83 with BHG. The previous owner got the head cleaned up(hot tanked, decked, looks like new valve stem seals), assembled and installed, I guess life got in the way, and gave up. I ended up getting everything reinstalled and doubled checked what I could that was already done. Basically, I just had to reinstall the intake manifold, fuel lines, intake, and the small stuff.
Anyhow, got fresh fluids in the thing, pulled the EFI fuse so I could crank the motor to build some oil pressure. Went to reinstall the fuse and it appears I’m battling a no start issue. I pulled the return line off the rail, and it seems I’m getting fuel. Pulled plugs and they smell like fuel as well. Upon checking for spark(plug in wire and grounded), it seems like I’m getting spark but it appears weak. I’ve already ruled out timing, distributor base timing(stabbed it per the TRSM) and bad gas. It’s been a while since I’ve played with a car with a distributor so I’m wondering what possible culprits could be. Using the TSRM I checked the plug wires and coil, all seems to be within spec. Possible failed igniter?
Anyway, any and all help/input would be appreciated. Looking forward to getting this thing going!
