Subruise

Thanks guys, thats how I ascertained what wasnt the problem. I read the write-up, several others, and they were all very helpful. It just so happens that my circumstances differ from those that caused the issues pertaining to said write ups. I have a good handle on what to do now and ill report back whence it takes place. RV

i didnt see cam case o rings from the dealer on your list. they go between the cam tower and the head.

well he needed the car back, so next time its around ill check out what you said there Gloyale. I should have gotten pics, this car is so brand new its crazy..still has door sticker and all. For clarity, I checked all switches, junctions, and relays other than the connection under the hood. all rails were nice and lubed. apparently i shouldnt have had power to something that did... so ill post back when i get another crack at it.

ive checked it all, ive found zero corrosion, this car has 68k on it and lived inside for most of its life.

Thanks Jeszek, Ive been through all of those threads and those were not the issues. this car is almost showroom quality, has no corrosion on any connections...thats why im stumped

I am currently knee deep in an EXTREMELY low mile, well kept 85 turbo traction wagon. Ive got it all torn down and none of the leads from the 7 or 8 threads from here and other places are the issue. everything on or in this thing looks younger than the 68k it actually has on it. ive found no corrosion anywhere, ive found no broken wires. Ive even swapped in a replacement door harness to make double sure. Im about to rip the relay outta my wheeler as a last attempt before admitting defeat (for now) and putting this lil cutie back together. I have no power to the red cluster of wires, or to the main one on the DS (the one on the 2 pin connector with the main ground). mk, ive also "clicked the relays" manually with the battery.....i think thats it for now. Got answers?

I rebuilt my spfi and I feel it would have lasted a very long time, had I not swamped it on a water crossing and ruined the rockers. Im currently swapping bottom ends and valvetrain. Why? I believe in the EA82, its good for what it is. Even if the EJ (and in lots of cases EA81) will kick its a s s.

it works man, go get supplies

ya, tubbed out sleeper eh? a true sleeper nova would be the wagon variety built by toyota in the 90s bonus points for trailer hitch too!

So Earl, when can we find a tailgate wagon in North America that you dont own.... i dunno how you do it, but im impressed.

lets see em on the rig then!

MINE

the fire was fun, turns out the extinguisher is a better tool than beer. and now im outta beer

they dont call it the virgin switch for nuthin

coolant temp sensor. it effects your IAC (idle air control) valve and can wreak havoc on drivability. its up by the tstat

seafoam is a good product, cleaning the injector out of car wasnt very easy for me, so I swapped out the tb. I would also check your cts for bog out issues

ive seen an ea82 with a broken crank that ran

im gonna do it soon...i have all the parts. ill fill ya in..or come drink beers

+1 i love mizpah, very good work
