starting problem

[resturt]

My 85 Camry was overheating so I flushed radiator, found a bad sensor and changed it, Checked fans directly to battery, ran fine. Checked all fuses, no problem. Checked all wiring from RDI fuse, fan relay # 1 to radiator fan, all OK then from CDS fuse to A/C fan to Fan relay #2 to relay # 3. all OK. Lastly, the wires from the resistors in fan relays 1,2,3 to there destinations. All OK
Now ready to start (after filling radiator). Engine turns over but doesn't start. I never had this problem before, I have 239,000 miles.

did it get hot enough it stopped running? is it possible when you were checking wires and fans you knocked a engine wire loose? if not you will want to check for spark to plugs and if its fine maybe try some starting fluid to see if its a fuel problem

covett69. I have spark and after the car sets for a day it turns over and fires like it wants to run, then stalls. Any ideas?
Thank you

see if it will start up for a moment on starting fluid, if not you should run a compression test

Crvett69. I have started it with starting fluid. Also compression isn't great 145 on 2 cylinders and 2 at 165. . Starting to look at the main relay, airflow meter, and circuit open relay. Must test fuel pump also. I don't really want to drop the fuel tank if I don't have to. I will keep you posted.

Most times the fuel pump is accessed from under the rear seat cushion.

Do you hear a buzzing from rear, when first turning the key to II ?? (from the fuel pump)

The tank must be removed to get at the fuel pump. I don't believe I have power to the pump. With ignition on I should have 12 volts at the connection to the pump. I jacked up the car and tested the connection from the engine compartment and I don't have 12 volts. I am now looking at the open circuit relay and other relays.

You appear correct about it not accessible under the cushion.

Were you able to locate the wiring diagram for this circuit ??

[resturt]

Well the answer is not exactly. It seems Chilton has one diagram and what I found on the web have different ones so I must search more. I thought I found one last night on just answer but it shows where the open circuit relay is but it's not there. I will keep at it.

I lost my source to manuals a while back

Try looking around, and maybe join toyotanation site.... I found some info there, and maybe someone can hook you up with a schematic.

Well so far toyotanation hasn't been any help. It seems everybody has the newer information. I am trying to find a wiring harness diagram so I can follow the wires back from the pump.
