PLZ Help! Routine maintenance on a 3.0 V6 is a bad IDEA!
« on: May 29, 2010, 06:57:56 PM »
I got a '93 Toy with a 3.0 V6. I went and put plugs, wires, cap and rotor on this engine today and now I'm getting nothing!
It'll turn over fine and I get spark. How do I determine if I'm getting fuel with it being an EFI?
Is this comon on these motors? I'm wondering if I should've held out for a 3.4  :smack:

TIA :biggthumpup:

If it was running before you did the work you messed something up. Did you use Toyota parts or some aftermarket crap from one of the joke auto parts stores? There is nothing wrong with the 3.0, I have had one for 13 years and it has only let me down once on the trail. Did you mess with the MAF when you did the tune-up?

I did this on my 22RE and in the process I broke a wire in my harness. It was very brittle from the heat around the manifold.

If you really think its fuel or you want to check; find the fuel feed at the engine. Disconnect it and have someone turn the ignition to the position just before Start. See if fuel pumps out.
