Absolutely friggin BONKERS SMH

Welp.... ALOT has happened since I last posted...


I will get right to the point first....


MANNY, JEN, STEPH, DUSTIN. I LOVE YOU GUYS. I cant thank you enough. I am in your debt. these 6gc OGs are THE EMBODIMENT of what a car community is supposed to look like.

My car wasnt running. Manny and his wife DROVE FROM MASSACHUSETTS to GET MY CAR, AND TOW IT BACK. wtf.... WHO DOES THAT??!!?!?!??


GOOD FRIENDS is who.


dustin and steph... who opened their home to me when I visited a few years back were there to help at the drop of a hat just as manny has since I joined this site over 10 years ago.


once again... thanks guys for helping me.



As a result of their HARD WORK troubleshooting, kicking ideas back and forth etc. after over a year of the Ninja Turtle 2 not running.



On Easter weekend, IT RISES, AND IT LIVES. (ironic for personal reasons)


If you read the first post you will see that my initial diagnosis indicated wiring connected to the CRANK SENSOR. So I thought all along it was a wiring issue.

PLACHAM.... HELPED SO MUCH through this process as well. He sold me an ECU, gave me ALOT of pointers too.


YOU GUYS WONT BELIEVE that after taking out my harness, buying, A NEW CAM SENSOR, A NEW CRANK SENSOR AND EVEN NEW COILS STRAIGHT FROM TOYOTA JAPAN (thanks to a bud)


IT WAS THE ACTUAL CRANK SENSOR THAT WAS BAD.

And all due to a small guide pin that keeps the crank sensor in line by 300ths of an inch from the trigger wheel on the oil pump pulley.

A DAMN PIN!!!

This has been a learning experience and a HUUUUUGE PAIN IN THE ASS for ALL parties involved (tweak'd (camshaft cam in particular )

I have some apologies to give in particular to the shop that I thought messed my wiring up when replacing trans.


With that being said.....


IM BACK..... let the GOONERY RESUME.




See yall later...Im going to church. I also have some apologies to make there too....

Thanx man!

Do you have sunvisors and a stock intake tube for 5s?

Hi guys was asked by a new Celica owner if the mentioned parts were available. He should be creating an account soon but I thought id ask for him

Hey fellas! Thanks placham, car is not running yet but like we talked about earlier it did start as long as I kept my foot on the gas, which to my understanding means weak spark. I ordered new coils (2) from Japan and my friend will send out next week. My plugs were a bit fouled and sooty especially 3 and 4. I haven't been able to actually physically check for spark again by taking them out but I will Saturday. I just find it odd because I was getting spark on the 2 other occasions when we tested.

Oh smaay, I checked for continuity and it worked out fine thanks placham for walking me through that pinout!

Thanks smaay!

I did that and found that I got continuity, however I found my problem. I hope.


I bought some coil packs from bonsai in February or so, because one of my coils went bad. Replaced 2 of them and all was well. While I was quadruple checking grounds etc. I decided to switch out coilpacks from 1&2 cylinder and put them in 3&4, and vice versa.

I started the car, and kept the key turned while pressing the gas pedal it ran horribly and would die if I let off the gas. I switched the coils back and it wouldn't run. I'm hoping this is my problem.


Still dosen t make sense though, why was I getting spark on the 2 other occasions when tested? And why would they malfunction after getting the transmission replaced?

Also the codes 12 14 and 15 never mentioned coils but sensors. I would love to know how this happened so I can explain it in the future if it happens to someone else. I spent $$$$ chasing ghosts

Thans man! I just realized I didn't mention that I don't have a dizzy. It's a 4th gen. COP




Placham I double checked all fuses and relays and then my bud checked again. Ill have to call Tweak'd performance and ask how it was wired. not sure.

Did some more probing and continuity testing (specifically to b15 b16 and b24 on ecu plugs which go to cam and crank sensors. All is fine. Checked for spark and no spark. Which is weird because I was getting g spark before.... I was getting fuel. Also I'm no longer getting ANY codes after resetting ecu. Idk wtf is going on lol

Hi all, een having a problem starting my car ever since I got the transmission replaced.

First, the car was giving me a
CEL 12 wiring and connector g2 + signal, STA signal crank position sensor and ECU
14 and 15 wiring connector, ignition coil, ecu

There is also another 14 code listed in the diagostic -wiring and connector, ignition and ecu
Things I've tried:

I've checked all plugs first to make sure there was no significant damage. (Found some on the main harness connector under the fuse box in the engine bay) checked for continuity, seemed fine.

Checked wire going from ECU to crank sensor for continuity, replaced crank sensor to no avail.
I also changed the cam sensor. Car still won't turn over.

We checked for spark and fuel (I'm getting spark and I'm getting fuel as my FPR is reading pressure and in took out injector plug #1 and used a NOID Light.

We also checked for spark and fuel using an old school method by bypassing injectors and putting fuel directly in. The car DID start but ran horribly and cut off shortly after.

Now I have a constant blinking when I pulled codes.

There was NO signal coming from ecu to injector according to Noid light. So it MUST BE ECU? Nope. Replaced ecu same no start but now I'm only getting code 12 and still getting a misfire code (constant blinking)


Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? A bud of mine and I will be tracing wires today but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


Placham Thanks for the ECU and help so far. I'm sure we can figure this misery out!

Do u happen to have a 3sge crank angle sensor?

I slipped him some of Manny's whacky tobaccie!



Lmaoooo oh man this **** is funny!


For some reason I read this as a Latino/Italian salesman

They fit right on but are kind of skinny from what I've been told

I'm surprised no one mentioned the cadillac catera (2001) and just redrilling those to 5x100. I was told that would work as well

Thanks fellas,

Box is right I wouldn't get a LSD with the syncro going out


I doubt my shift linkages popped, I checked them and all seems to be fine unless I overlooked something. The shift cables were bought brand new from Toyota in 2008 they didn't seem damaged like my previous ones were. I was thinking the same thing enderswift, if my diff blew i figured there would be more noise. It was quite silent when it happened.

As for my clutch, its a pretty heavy clutch with low miles on it. But its worth a peek!

true! BUT LSD=SUPER expensive and syncros going out. figure i'd better just get another trans

Update: finally got around to messing with the car recently, found out the trans side axle seems fine and after having a Congo with a friend it led me to believe I may have busted the differential somehow.
