Starts but dies

[myfirstyota]

Naa nothing as of yet. Its been pretty chilly here, and I dont have a garage so working on it has been a daunting thought.

The first few times it happened I was able to get it fired up. While trying those times it would catch for a second, stumble and die and eventually after many attempts it would start and run fine for a few days.

After changing the throttle body and accelerator pedal ( i was getting codes for those) there was no change. I would still get occasional times of non start eventually resulting getting it going.

Then one morning on the way to work, it died just up the street from my house. I had to push the car about 100meters home. I couldn't get it going after that. I then changed the engine harness to no avail. The car still won't start.

I never really tried to get it going after that. With 400,000 km ive just decided to swap the car to a 2zr. I only need an engine, shifter cables and cv shafts to complete the swap. I already have all the other bits needed.

With the total lack of power of the 1nz with the 28" tires on the car, and the high mileage, I figured a swap only made sense lol

This is exactly the same behaviour I experienced with mine last year. The last two times I've had its ass end jacked in the air, it would behave the same when trying to start after dropping it back down. The first time was when I was slowly doing some exhaust work and it stayed jacked up for a week. Thought I had somehow created an air lock in the fuel line. The second time it was only jacked for a couple hours while doing brake work.

Now you have me fearing that it'll start doing the same thing just because it feels like it.
