Aw11 Headlight Earth Point LHS

Hi, I desperately need a photo of where the headlight/horn ground point is on the AW11 MR2. Apparently it is on the left hand side below the pillar. I have a UK car. My headlights and horn do not work at all. My dash lights stopped working but this was down to the other ground getting a bit rusty an...

Hi, I have for sale my surplus 16v GZE 8:0.1 pistons removed from my old engine. I replaced these with the later 8:9.1 pistons.

Re: 4AGZE Injectors Not Firing

Hi all,

Small update.

I've installed a replacement loom and got all connectors back on now except for the alternator earth and starter connectors.

I tested for voltage on the injectors and I have 12v on power and 0v on earth as I should do.

Can someone remind how to test the earths e1 e01 and e02?

I do hope this is not the reason why it hasn't been worki...

Re: 4AGZE Injectors Not Firing

I've bought a replacement COR but I doubt that'll be it. We checked to make sure I was geting fuel through by undoing the nut on the fuel filter and obviously fuel went everywhere when I cranked it, so it shows the pump is pumping. The fuel lines are hardlined and there are no kinks so it cannot be ...

Hi all, Had a recommended mechanic round and checked through everything. The cam and ignition timing is all okay.

Re: 4AGZE Injectors Not Firing

From memory on my car before I changed the engine to 4AGZE, the resister pack bracket was bolted underneath the ignition coil bracket so they were earthed at the same time.

Hello, I've replaced the square plug that goes from the engine hook to the strut tower, as I found it didn't do anything. At the time I didn't realise my intake earth wasn't working, so I replaced it with a ring connector on some 4mm cable and put that straight to the strut tower nut. It probably wa...

Re: 4AGZE Injectors Not Firing

However, 3 of my injectors do earth back to pin10 and the other pin20 but they are wired in pairs on the power from the resister pack. Had a think about this and it is not ideal. The one injector will be getting a bit more current, and the three will be getting a bit less. Doubt if it is enough to ...

Hi, This is not at all sorted. I reattached the wires on the ecu plug and the car didn't attempt to turn over. Put new earths back on and it fired up then died.

It's pretty stupid to be honest. I tested for continuity between E02, E01 and E1 on the chassis and found I had an open loop. At the time i determined there must have been an issue with the wires in the loom. As I had already put the rail back on again I couldn't be bothered to strip it all again, s...

Re: 4AGZE Injectors Not Firing

Sounds like an issue I had with one of my AE86s. Check the fuel circuit in the AFM. Try jumping the fuel test circuit at the diagnostic port. If the engine runs by jumping the fuel circuit then check the ground at the AFM plug. This is the ground bolted to the manifold, top of the runners under the...
