Yo fellas,

My car wont start, at first i thought it was the fuel pump, then pulled out one of the plugs and there isnt any spark in any of the plugs.

Is this my coil/ignitor that needs to be changed? Or is there something else that it could be.

Cheers

It is your sparkplugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor button, coil, ignitor, dizzy, wiring, ECU, ignition switch and battery which are probably causing the problems.

leads brand new trd, plugs brand new.

dizzy is leaking oil, coil and ignitor looks old.

Car is always previously driven and kicks over perfectly but just stopped while i was driving. Car kicks over but just seems like no spark or fuel.

If no spark or fuel, then you may not have power to the ECU.

You need to test this stuff yourself. Get a multimeter.

no spark, so i changed the actual coil as there was power going to the coil. After i changed it still no help didnt wanna kick over and no spark.

Still cant figure it out?

Do these cars have Ballast Resistors?

Change that, if they got 'em.

Check to see if the coil is getting 12V at the positive. If not, check to see if no ignition fuses have blown/force 12V on ignition.

If no fuel, id check to see the injectors are getting 12V at both pins on ignition.

the ignitor that sits ontop of the coil has two wires that go onto the coil one has two wires that turn into one and the other has just the one what arrangement do they go on the coil which is positive and neg.

work out if you have no spark and no fuel, or just no spark first.

post a pic of your engine bay, there is a fuse on some cars (think its kouki) that you might need to check thats not obvious. it hangs in one of those funny yellow things off the loom in the engine bay sorta above the headers.

if its kouki, the injector fuse should be near the battery/fuse box in a round yellow plug with black cap. Should say something like "INJ 10A"

okay it fired up today, got no idea what it was still to this point.

Changed a fuse, wasnt blown though. Changed the coil, not sure if anything was wrong.
Disconnected the ecu and reconected it, lol not that it made any difference.

Went to kick it and it fired.
