Code 12

Distributor recently changed

Car died while coming to a spot at a friend's house. Took 3 cranks to get it running. Then died while coming to a stop sign 25ft from my friends house. Then in front of my house. This time tried cranking but no go. Got it kick started and let idle for 5mins. Then tried to rev the engine a bit in the engine bay, car didnt rev and died. Car was pushed into the garage and didnt start for 5mins. Tried 5 times cranking the ish and the 5th time it started with a low 400rpm idle for about 30secs and then went back to normal. I let the car run for about 3 mins while waiting for Herosblade to drive down and revved the car high, low, and medium rpm range. This time the car didnt shut off.

thoughts??

**problem came back, but i have new experiences

Read this thread your having the same problem I was having awhile back, it was my new distributer that was faulty not sending signal to the ecu causing my car to stall and not start. You have the same cel codes I had too. The top connector on the distributor is the culprit for the 1-2 code test that first.

funny thing is too i posted in there. my problem was the distrib, the coil imploded. so that was replaced with a Napa brand (sadly yes cuz Toy is just too damn expensive). I used a multimeter to check the ohms, the distrib prongs checked out fine according to the multimeter. The old distrib is gone because of the core exchange with Napa.

I did find that the connector is missing the damn locking clip, so the connector just snugs in. only thing with that is i tried moving the connector with the car on and running. I bounced the car and what not trying to see if the connector comes loose. Connector doesnt move but thats only 5mins of moving, not the continuous movement of actually driving the car. I will source out a new distrib connector, if i cant find one im buying from the Doc's site. I really hope my ecu isnt shorting.

Car starts and runs idle fine now, I guess im using it to work for the rest of the month and see if it happens again. So as the car stands the problem isnt solved fully.
