WOW16V Regular Location: Glossodia,NSW Registered: May 2002	Car won't start Sun, 13 October 2002 07:58 my ae82 corolla has been sitting in the driveway all week,it just wouldn't start,it wasn't getting any fuel.It turned out to be a loose ecu wire(WIRE FC).I had all mine bullet crimped together and the circuit opening relay wire had come apart.I reconnected it and BINGO the car started up.I moved it back into the garage and decided to properly solder all the ecu wires.When i was re-soldering the wires,i was careful to only do one wire at a time that way i wouldn't get any crossed/wrong connections.Now stupid me i forgot to disconnect the battery and instead of taping up the bare solder on each wire as i did each one,i left the whole lot until the end. SOMETHING I'VE DONE WHILE SOLDERING THE WIRES HAS CAUSED MY CAR NOT TO START.IT WAS WORKING FINE AFTER I RE-CONNECTED THE LOOSE ECU WIRE,BUT NOW AFTER FINISHING RE-SOLDERING THE WIRES IT WON'T START UP. HOWEVER THERE IS ONE DEFINITE THING I REMEMBER:-When i was preparing one of the wires(i can't remember which one) i managed to touch some bare solder of another wire(it was an ecu earth wire)and i heard a CLICK and thought nothing of it and continued to finish the job.When i finished i taped up each wire individually and then plugged the ECU back into the plugs.I went to start the car and it would not start up.It will crank over and actually fire up but for like 1/2 second only.It seemed like it was starving for fuel.But i did the fuel pump check with the service wire and all is ok.I checked the circuit opening relay/efi main relay/fuses/breakers/starter switch/ecu voltages at wiring connectors and at the ecu itself. WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE.I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF,I WENT THROUGH MY MANUAL AND DID BASICALLY EVERYTHING IT SUGGESTS FOR EFI AND ECU PROBLEMS AND I CAN'T FIND A FAULT.I'VE NOW SPENT 2 FULL DAYS ON IT AND AT THE MOMENT I'M LOOKING AT TOWING IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC UNLESS SOMEONE CAN SUGGEST ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP ME Cheers Adrian [Report message to a moderator]
