Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if it had a 1b 7 rib block/42mm bottom end, these crossover cars can be a nightmare to figure out what Toyota used on them, even the EPC doesn't work properly for them.
I have a 17030 ECU which should run that engine, once you have confirmed there is no noid light signal at the injectors I will send you this ECU, if that doesn't work I have no further remote tests I can advise and then you're going to need to trailer it to me or another Mr2 specialist.

Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
ecu arrived today but still the car does not run. It will now try to fire but now thinking the injectors may still be partly blocked
I have a noid light at the injectors now so that is an improvement, I've checked the timing and the fuel supply to the injectors which is all ok.

Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
So if it now gets a noid light flash it means your old ECU was faulty, you say you're getting full fuel pressure to the injectors so it can only be gummed up injectors now, i would advise removing them and having them ultrasonically cleaned.
Glad my ECU helped.

Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
The injectors are being cleaned and will be ready tomorrow. They might of worked when connected directly to the battery because having a full 12 volt supply but not when the engine should just be on tick over as i understand the supply voltage is less and my faulty ecu would also explain why it was running on only 1 or 2 cylinders.

Quite possibly, cleaning the injectors will certainly rule them out anyway.

Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
WE HAVE A RUNNER of sorts, Injectors back but 1 has an electrical short and have been told it is u.s.
So refitted all 4 but didn't connect the bad injector (it might be what killed my ecu in the first place) and after a little bit of encouragement (easy start) she ran, only on 3 cylinders but I know why.
Thank you all for you wonderful help, I hope to thank you in person at some meeting or runs next year.
As i said at the beginning or the post this car was lasted MOT in 2001, so far I have only found 4 holes all weldable which is not bad for a £200 barn find.
Thanks again from a now happy MR2 owner

Excellent, let us know how you get once once you have the replacement injector fitted.

Re: engine stalls after 4 seconds
Good job as it’s been a long dramatic affair with this problem. Glad you had the support to work it out.
