Ok after many hours checking fuses, relays and connections i finilly found to prob... And geez do i feal like a noob... Bad engine earth /cry

Link comes up forbidden to me

Well i managed to get hold of another ecu to try out and didnt do squat... So going to check every fuse relay and connection.... Again...

Does sound.like a fuel issue.. try putting some throtle body cleaner through the carby... I had simular prob with my hilux recently and that just ended up being a blocked fuel filter. But you already changed that

I sould also note that the old rolla batt was farked long before the ned engine went in as i used to use it for the electric motor on my boat when the rolla was off road with old farked engine in it( bout 6-8months) the rolla didnt killed old batt... I did;)

i can put the multimeter on it but i don't think that would be the prob as the good batt that i put in there was outa my every day driver with hi cca batt outa a volvo 760 ... And.that batt has no probs turning over a v6 (taken straight out of volvo and into rolla and wont turn it over... I have thought might he starter but the fact that the starting prob started at same time as tacho and running issuses started at same time

Sorry about typo's :)

I have just put another 4age engine into my ae82 and it purred like a kitten for a frw weeks however the battery i had in it was farked and (don't ask me why) but i tryed starting it quite a few times on the farked batt, i have since tryed the batt out of another car(fully charged and in good working order) and now the rolla work start via the key... It will start when i roll start her but it runs poorly and i have noticed that the tacho(in dash one) behaves weirdly(shows less revs when i rev it) it also when engine is stoped and i go to start her i have noticed that the engine light and oil light are dim as i turn keto pre start position... I am thinking i might have damaged the ecu from trying to s atart her with a farked batt... Any ideas ??? Maybe a bad connection or a fuse or am i right with the ecu?

Anyone in hobart area have a spare working ecu for a ae82 4age 16v blacktop i recently put in another motor due to killing last one :'( it all worked fine and purred like a kitten but the battery i had in it was fubar and i think i might have killed the ecu from trying to start multiple time on the fubar batt... Reason I'm thinking the ecu is buggered is due to engine will not start on a fully charged batt and when i bump start it it runs poorly and the in dash tacho dances around on idle and when i rev it the tacho goes down not up... :\ so I'm wondering if some1 in or near hobart might have one laying about that i could try out and maybe even sell if that ends up being the problem Oh and hi guys... Havnt been on for awhile /wave's too everyone....

i know every1 has already said you was 100% in the right but i wanna chuck in my 2c worth as well trailer or no trailer you were driving on the correct side of the road and i asume at the posted speed limit... any vechile entering that roadway(either from left or right side) must give way or merge into the traffic already on that roadway also mention to the guy that hit you that the hire company charged you for damages to the trailer (make up somthing like it damaged the wheel berring) and see if ya can't scam him for some $$ :)

yea i wasnt thinking when i did it well i guess ill be a... :cmonkey:

i got bored while rc was down last nite so i blew the dust off the old paint brush and made this i call it "Rollacub"

generaly when ya buy new plugs the gap is preset however there normaly set as a general setting for all the other cars that take that plug so might not be exact for you car take out a plug and check its gap also check inside the dizzy cap for cracks scratches if you have either of them in there it will make the spark jump around insiade the dizzy cap and prevent firing of the cyclinders also check all your leeds are on properly it does sound more of a timing problem so try moving the dizzy around a bit and try starting again once got it started check you timing with a light but if the dizzy cap was loose i would be looking inside the cap for damage 1st

hmmm so 30nm-55nm-64nm or should i just stick with the old 30nm +90° +90° going to be using the old head bolts this time round so only got 1 chance of getting it right( last thing i wanna do is snap the end of the bolt off in the block :jamie: plan is just to do a temp fix for now as the old cash flow is a bit on the light side and in 6 12 months rip out the engine again and do a full rebuild once the cash flow is a bit better ;)

just didnt some more research on it last nite while rc was down i need to go out and get myself a 10m 3/8 longreach socket :jamie: any1 got 1 ta spare they wanna post me ;) oh and thinking bout it i think there 12 point not 16 like i said b4.. but either way the normal 6(hex)sockets are usless on it
