This sounds exactly what happened to mine. I had spark but no fire. The injectors would just not work! I stripped the loom to see if anything had happened to it (during my engine rebuild). I replaced the loom, ECU, dizzy and AFM and it was none of those. My mate did the diagnosis so all I can do is ...

My dizzy was diagnosed and all readings were normal.

Are your positive and negative wires on the coil pack correctly? Mine had somehow been reversed.

I'll have a look

I have a JDM 4AGZE distributor for sale.

I issues with mine but it turned out to be the ignition coil itself. I thought it was the distributor as well. My injectors wouldn't fire but wasn't the dizzy at all.

Let me know if you need to purchase one rather than borrow one for a test.

It's running now after my rebuild.

I had an issue with the igniter. I purchase a replacement loom, AFM, ECU and distributor to find those bits had nothing to do with my problem.

I have rare spares now.

I bought a GZE knock sensor second hand in the end. My mate who is also has a genuine white over silver JDM GZE aw11 had two spares as well. Not cheap.

Toyota - I think they are about 20 quid plus VAT

I thought the SC coil was different? Unless you have a spare SC coil?

Hi Ufer, 1. You can install the head with inlet manifold, coolant pipes and outlet off of the car, but bear in mind it does get quite heavy after a while. You also need to be able to locate the head on the locating pin (IIRC), so with the extra weight this may make it more awkward. 2. The loom runs ...

Not to worry, thanks for all the replies!

I've bought some.

Who has the shim bank??

I think I got the group buy with Max with my Konis.

They lowered my car about 30mm.

I changed to BC Coilovers as my shocks and springs were a bit tired after 8 years too.

I've had a cam cap bolt snap inside the head now!

It snapped when removing it strangely!

I've got 5mm sticking out of the top and do not want to weld a nut onto it to cause distortion to the head.

Aside from drilling out, any ideas?

Cheers

Hi all, I've just started the grueling task of doing the valve clearances on my rebuilt head. I've got 7 out of 8 all within 0.15-0.25 on the inlet, with the one out of tolerance at 0.09... I'm going to do the exhaust side tonight. I'm hoping that I have the same issue on the exhaust side, so I can ...

Hi all,

I am going to be reassembling my fully rebuilt GZE engine over the coming weeks.

Can I just simply not install the ABV entirely and block off the flange and the pipe instead?

Cheers

Ah thanks for that, but I meant where did the TB go in relation to the SC, vacuum hoses etc.

Hi,

I will be assembling the supercharger, TB and associated pipework shortly.

I have taken photos of how it was together before I removed it all.

But has anyone got any images of exploded diagrams showing what goes where?

Cheers

Hi Chris,

Yeah I know I was messaged on the mk1 club about it.

Thankfully I have a replacement but it would be a good idea to get some alternatives!

I used to get that kind of noise but only when I turned the engine off.

Sounds like something else is blowing as well.

I don’t think I’ll bother.

Thanks Guys!
