Well...I finally got everything done. So the big moment came to start her up...and she didn't run. She cranked/turned over just fine. After a quick diagnosis we determined that the problem was with the fuel system. Here are the tests I ran and the conclusions:

1. Voltage to the Fuel Pump - works fine.
2. Continuity between the MAF and the COR (circuit opening relay) - Check
3. Continuity between the COR and the Fuel Pump - Check
4. Continuity between the EFI relay and the COR - Check
5. Voltage to the EFI relay - Check
6. Voltage to the Fuel Pump (while cranking and on) - Failed
7. Voltage to the COR from EFI - Failed
8. MAF operation - Check
9. Voltage to MAF - Failed
10. Voltage to ECU - Check

So after messing with the wiring trying to figure out what is going on (car will run for about 5 seconds if I prime the fuel pump...then it dies), I came up with nothing. I tried rewiring a few things to get voltage to MAF and no dice. I also triple checked all the wiring and made sure the COR was wired up correctly. Anyone know why the MAF isn't sending a signal to the COR to keep the fuel pump on, or simply why the COR won't keep the fuel pump running??? Thanks guys ]]> MK 2 - V6 Mark_Dorman http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46922-wtf-i-need-some-help-before-i-shoot-my-mr2.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46830-94-lexus-es300-engine.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:39:47 GMT I've found a local Lexus es300 complete parts car for $700. At least, that's what the ad says. I'll know more once I get there. If I see 3VZ on the engine block I'm just going to buy it.

However, assuming I get there and the car is in fact a 1994 and does in fact have the 1MZFE engine - why aren't these engines recommended? (per the sticky).

I've searched but come up with not a whole lot to go on.

Thanks in advance! ]]> MK 2 - V6 koji http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46830-94-lexus-es300-engine.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46705-hey-motor-mounts.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:38:33 GMT ok so ive had my 3vz powered mr2 for a little while and i realized the mounts are alittle worn and would like to replace them so my motor will stay planted which mounts are you guys using (besides the costum one) stock 3sg? what should i look for as far as an upgrade to keep my motor stiff ok so ive had my 3vz powered mr2 for a little while and i realized the mounts are alittle worn and would like to replace them so my motor will stay planted which mounts are you guys using (besides the costum one) stock 3sg? what should i look for as far as an upgrade to keep my motor stiff ]]> MK 2 - V6 mr2v63vz http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46705-hey-motor-mounts.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46677-3vz-help.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:19:12 GMT So I have all but givin up. i started this swap earler this year. From a 5sfe to a 3vzfe. I removed the 5s and placed in a good 3vz i got the wiring harness made from phoenix tuning, thanks for the help, and the thing wont start. It wont even turn over. I Have replaced the ignitor and coil i beat the starter. I hooked up a battery directly to the starter to see if it was just the starter that was bad and the thing turned over like a champ. the fuel lines are hooked up and I dont know what else to look at to try to get this motor to turn over. I really need some advise. the last ditch option is to take it to a shop to just finish up although i would have liked to have finished it myself.:confused::confused: So I have all but givin up. i started this swap earler this year.

Has anybody had any experience with the obx lsd. Any suggestions, do i need an lsd now or should i wait. I'm going turbo soon so i'm debating wether i should go turbo first or lsd. ]]> MK 2 - V6 Lil_Revolution http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46587-s51tranny-here.html http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk-2-v6/Toyota-MR2-46490-hey-spark-plugs.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:21:39 GMT Hey if you had my car what spark plugs would you have in? 91 turbo jdm 3vz fe...
