Hey all I have come to you all for some help the other day my car died as I was driving home.

I did an engine check light and came up with codes 12 and 31, and no spark

So off I turn to the internet and done hundreds of searches and nothing really tells me how to fix the problem so I did some problem solving myself.

I got a new coil and condenser and pulled off my distrib. when I did this I broke the rotor cap and the black plastic surround under it because they were so brittle. I put all this back in the condenser was ****ed so I thought sweet this will fix it........ cranks over still no spark.

I went back the the net and read it could be the ignitor ok cool off to toyota and find out there is only one new in australia and its $500...woow, friend to the rescue I grabbed his out of his camry for a couple of days, im thinking this must be right
Better check the codes...... no codes

Yes time to start. cranks over STILL NO SPARK what the ****. so I check the codes agai and 31 has gone but still code 12 shows.

So here I am back to the internet and my freinds in 6GC land to help me any ideas im over it.
I have to go on tour in 3 days and the missus is on my back to fix it so she doesnt have to catch the bus.

I have read what the codes mean but I really am looking for someone who has had the same problem and how they fixed it


sorry for the long post just trying to give everyone the full picture


Thanks

you can run at 15 BTDC but you might need to run mid grade or premium gas. both the 7A and 5S respond really well to advancing the timing
