Hello CL member's I'm going try and make this short as possible I bought a 96 sc300 a couple years ago with the intention to fix it up and have reliable DD my car ran ok then . Before I could fix her up I came a across a deal on here for a five speed swap which I got .After doing the swap my car want start I tried ever thing I could thing of and what I found on here. Finally I took my car to a friend of mine shop they still can't figure it out I'm done. Too much money going into this car thinking about parting it out and starting over with something that's as lets miles and minor issues. Oh my car had 348 thousand miles paid 500 for it I don't want to give up but I thing its time I figure take the swap out might hold to that try to make my 500 back .What should I do ?

 

Well it seems that you have some passion to do some modding, or you wouldn't have done the swap. I say fix it and continue to drive it. Even the 2JZ quits, there is still the potential to continue to keep it and boost it. When you say you have tried everything, what exactly have you ruled out? Did you bypass the neutral switch?

Where in TN are you???

 

Trust me i have the passion but don't really have all the knowledge I really love these cars I try the bypass on the main body harnes I put the two twires together I even tried the one from inside the engine bay to the neutral bypass wire under the sterring . Im located in Clarksville thanks for your reply.

 

What exactly isnt it doing? Is it not cranking or is it cranking and just not firing?

 

Here you go, last post is the proper way. Another dude did this with an sc400 and worked for him. And me, and anyone else who has done a proper swap, or quick and dirty a3xx auto to 5spd swap on any Toyota/Lexus in the 80s/90s/2000s

Its cracking I got fuel I bought 2 fuel pump I try swapping out the some parts with a friend of mine car ECU fuel relay etc. still wont start . Oh that link you send I try that too

 

Is it getting spark?

 

Last time I check yes I had spark .

 

So it's getting fuel and spark. Are all plugs getting spark? Does it sound like it wants to start ?

 

yes sounds like it want to start its cranking but want start something simple but i just cant locate the problem i took it to a shop to see if they could help me out got no where

 

When was the last time you checked? The engine needs fuel/air/spark to start. It should at least fire up and die if you are getting all those.

 

The car was sitting for a while before i did the swap so we drain the fuel, for a while I thought it was bad gas.
