3RZ Swap starting problems
« on: Oct 07, 2010, 02:54:30 PM »
Well after years of urgings, I finally got into a toyota and picked up an 85 4runner with a 3RZ swap.  My cousin picked it up for me and drove it on to the trailer and brought it back to my place.  He then drove it off the trailer and drove it around a little and then parked it.  It was moved 1 more time before I finally got into town to go see it.  Well we had some clutch issues to work out and we did some bleeding on the clutch and then started the rig up to try the clutch out.  Well, it was not fixed so we let the rig run for 10-15 minutes then turned it off and did some more troubleshooting on the clutch.  When we tried to start it back up, it would turn over was acting like it was out of gas.  Well that was last night so today we put fresh gas in it and still nothing.  New plugs and wires and still nothing, just turning over.  Did some more troubleshooting and I'm not getting any spark or fuel on the plugs.  I spent most of the day chasing grounds and making sure they were good, and the ones I could find were good.  I just thought I should some more knowledge on this thing to see if I could get it figured out.  It has the ORS swap harness and a 96 3RZ w/ 5 speed.  The only thing I could think of is something got knocked loose on the fuel sending unit on top of the gas tank when we were putting some parts back in the back last night since it is exposed right now.  Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved, the hood release cable had caught and pulled out one of the fuses in the driver side kick panel.  Turns out that was the fuse that this thing needed to run.
