    Hello everyone,
    I have a 1995 Cresta JZX90 TOURER V 1JZ GTE NON-VVTI I was able to drive it home from work just fine and then on my day off I decided to fix my blower motor so I took it out and cleaned out all the debris that was stuck in the blower motor and when I put it all back together, I went to try and start my car but it wouldn't start.
    I know I'm getting spark so I went to try and start it with starter fluid and it started for a few secs.
    So my first assumption is the fuel pump. I went and replaced it with a WALBRO 255 fuel pump but car still wouldn't start? I can hear the fuel pump priming.
    I'm running
    Stock ECU
    Stock injectors
    Stock twin turbos
    Any help would be awesome. Been stumped on this for 2 weeks now and still can't figure out what's wrong.

    Hi,
    a car needs 4 things to run
    • Spark.
    • Fuelfuel pressure and fuel injector pulse.
    • Compression.
    • Timing – All of the above at the right time.
    im sure you will find the issue...
    but i didnt see how this fit all together, the car has 2 run even without the blower motor right? maybe there is some connector loosen ?
    also can be 2 much air, something not tight enough?

    Hey there Daniel
    appreciate the reply. But yes the car can run even without the blower motor as the blower motor is just a fan use to blow air for A/C and HEATER.
    I was guessing connector loosen as well just couldn't find that loosen connection anywhere as I checked every harness and tried to unplug and replug.
    I'm guessing my injectors aren't firing because I hear my fuel pump running and it's going to my fuel rail as it squirts out fuel.
    So it seems my injectors aren't getting power but I need to confirm 100% with a multimeter but I checked the CAM position Sensor and noticed oil got into the plug and prongs. I'm not sure if that will cause a shortage but like I said, I'll need to get a multimeter to double check there's power going to the sensor and injectors.
    Overall after inspecting the car this is what I got it down to,
    Either the ECU somehow went bad
    Bad connection somewhere under the passenger dash
    Or a shortage somewhere

    yeah test them with a multimeter, and hear with a screwdriver on them :)
    but you say you got a spark so i dont think ist the cam sensor.
    yeah maybe its the ecu but how can you test that :o long time ago i broke mine in my rx8 and wtf it was a pain until i found that issue :D
