Starlet_EP91 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 So here's my problem:I bought a 4E-FTE from Groundspeed (very known company in NL), and swapped that one in my red EP91 and drove that around for about a year. I decided to buy another, better looking Starlet, a green EP91, and swapped my 4E-FTE into that one. It was all plug&play, and it cranks now, but doesn't fire up, and I really don't know why. I used the exact same loom as in the red Starlet, and soldered the same plug to the same wires, which Groundspeed told me to do.I checked every wire from the distributor cap, the ignitor and the coil to the ECU, and they aren't broken or something, all 0 Ohm. I have a 4E-FTE A/T ECU, which camewith the engine, and worked fine, also tried a manual 4E-FTE ECU, but that doesn't make any difference.I did swap the complete steering colum, and steering house, because the red one didn't have power steering, and the green one did. So I decided to get rid of the powersteering. But the ignition switch came out of the red one, so it should work I guess.I work at Louwman, a Toyota dealer/importer in The Netherlands, and my colleagues can't figure it out either, so I'm really lost right now..Is there any kind of immobilizer I don't know about? Or something else I should check?Hope that one of you can help me with this problem. Any help is very appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Sounds like you have either a fuel pump issue or ground wires off. Check your earth banks both on the engine and chassis and to the battery. Then do a blink code read out see what fault codes you have.

Sam44 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Also check your fuses there's a efi fuse under the bonnet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Crank no fire could be a couple of causes, do you have spark? do you have fuel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
