-Timing could be out even if it has spark. Not sure if you can do much about that without being walked through it if you don't know how to retime it.
-Check vacuum lines and all plugs make sure nothing is unplugged or loose
When you start trying to start it do the usual checks for spark and fuel after checking the oil and water. If it has been sitting sometimes they do take a while to start then after they do may smoke for a minute then clear. |
-Is there an easy way to swap out fuel? I have a siphoning hand pump, but I know with the old supras, it's near impossible to get any flexible tubing into the tank. Maybe if the tank is low enough, I can just add a few gallons of new fuel?
-I'll have it home tonight and I'll try charging the battery and then maybe jumping it as well.
-Plug leads seemed fine, but I'll look in closer detail.
-I have done timing on 4 different cars so I should be able to figure it out on the aw11.
-I'll check vacuum too.
Is there an online TSRM (repair manual) for the aw11? I'll probably buy one, but until I get one, it'd be nice to have something to work off of.
Thanks for the response!
