Mr2 Mechanical Probelems...

I have a problem getting my MR2 started...it turns over and turns over and turn over I can smell gas but it wont start... I tried to pop start it with no joy...after changing a few fuses I got power to everything including the cooling fans....but the car refuses to star...I had to change the 120A alternator fuse before all of this...could the problem be my Alternator itself? Is there anyone who can help me?

Hey, did you try spraying Ether into the throttle body. That should get it started. If not, then your problem is much more. The engine is not getting air and such! hope that helps maybe a little!! :smokin:

If that is not the prob check all parts of the starting/charging system. Alternator, starter, battery,etc.

did any one adjust the distributor before hand?

I think I have narrowed it down to the distributer cap and rotor or maybe even the coil pack...any other suggestions?

A Quick Way To See If Your Getting Power To Ur Spark Plugs Is To Pull Off One Of The Spark Plug Wires And Stick A Screw Driver In It And Hold It Above And Thing Metal 1-4 Of An Inch And See If There Is A Spark When You Go To Crank It Over Helps If You Got A Friend

ajust the pully till the rotor goes to piston # one spark plug wire theres a mark when you take of the oil cap.
