This distributor Part No 191018836y from a MR2 is supposed to work do you know what the difference is between the 2 I have thanks Mark

Spark leads are fine !! When you start to crank over the engine spark starts about TDC but when it starts to fire the spark seems to jump 40 degs forward advance then back fires through the inlet ??? and won't start ???

Model of the care- ST183g-BKMVF Engine 3S-GE 1998cc Frame ST183-0048956

Wiring order and wire colours from wiring harness for this car Celica 92 convertible NZ import 3S-GE 2lt motor !! Can any one tell what each wire dose and can you swap them around to suit this car with the Distributors that I already have ???

Hi See photo's Plugs on the distributors are the same !!! We have checked the spark timing and firing order!! It may look as though the Distributors are the wrong ones So they are now FOR SALE ALSO THE AUTO ECU is FOR SALE!!! The part No's below!!! The car is a Manual ALL DENZO Distributor with rotor button Part No 19100-88363 229100-6911 3S-GE Distributor without rotor No 19100-88363 229100-6912 3S-GE ECU for Manual No 89661-2B220 17500-3501 12V 3S-G M/T ECU for AUTO No 89661-20702 175700-2822 12V 3S-G A241E

How is the wiring different ??

Hi This is list of original parts that went missing over time with the 4 different mechanics?? and the parts replaced!! MISSING REPLACED 1 Distributer. We now have 2 3S-GE type with slightly different part No. 2 Inlet Manifold. Replaced. 3 Battery. Replaced. 4 ECU. We now have 2 3S-GE Types one for Automatic and 1 Manual one which is the right one. 5 Some of the Vacuum Hoses Replaced and correctly placed. 6 Exhaust Pip cover. Have not got one yet.

The guy that refurbished the head engraved I and E , INLET and Exhaust but he did no take the head off he was the seconed involved out of 4 other Mechanics that tried to get the car going???

If you swapped the cams they would be even more out of wake !! the inlet cam is 180degs from exhaust. But I wonder if some one swapped the the pins in the cam??? See photo's

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes the cam gears line up with the vertical timing lines at when the crank is at TDC at 135degs past TDC of the cam its just starting to open the exhaust valve??? It shuoud start opening the exhaust valve at around 155 to 160degs past TDC of the cam ??? But the cam still looks to far advanced see photo's.

I have 1992 Celica Convertible NZ Import 3SGE type 2lt motor!! Which I got from a freind that after some guy changed the head gasket the engine won't start it seems to be a timing problem with the cams or ignition !! Have a close look a pics of cam possisions I think they to far advanced even though they seem to line up to timing marks!! When trying to start the engine it back fires through the inlet manifold?? History of this problem!! After 2 years 4 mechanics a lot of money and lost parts I ended up with the car!! The coolant leak which started this hole mess turned out to be the radiator cap??? After the first mechanic had the head refurbished there was nothing wrong with it or head gasket !!! He was the first to put the engine back together but could not get it to run ??? Things that were wrong when I got the car which I have fixed so far !!! 1 Missing parts replaced with right ones. 2 Vacuum lines put the right places and replaced missing ones. 3 Its now sparking on all cylinders only 2 when I got it after replacing the rotor button with correct one and did the correct timing and timing order 1342. 4 Checked the cam timing marks they seem to line up with TDC but the cam still doesn't look right to me this is the way I found them. But it still won't run?? Any ideas please HELP Please read text CELICA.txt
