95 6 cylinder NO START! after tune up

[Tedders]

Hi, guys.

I removed the air intake for replacing the rear three spark plugs, hooked everything up correctly afterward, but the car will not start. It cranks great but there is no ignition. I removed also the cold start assembly and the whole thing it attached to, sprayed it out and reattached it all tot he air intake during the spark plug replacements.

Any ideas? The car is a 95 V6 SE, manual transmission.

Thanks!

mess with the wiring harness to the coils.. move the harness around.

Check for voltage at the coil packs.

[Tedders]

Thanks for the reply.

But "coilS"? I thought that there is only one coil to the distributor...

If there's more than one coil, please let me know where.

Thanks again.

each spark plug has its own coil,for V6 engine,so check the coil connector as moderator said.

Make sure all ground wires are connected, maf sensor is plugged in, etc.

Ah, sheesh... my car is a '94; NOT a '95!

Too much exhaust gas, I guess.

All ground wires are plugged in; so is the MAF sensor. I ran a check on the cold start gas line this morning and it's working too.

Thanks guys for your help.

I finally had to have the my pretty 93 SE towed to Toyota and they found (after getting no codes) that the Idle Air Control valve had broken inside, and it was putting collant into the throttle body. That of course was going right into the engine! Fortunately, no hydraulic lock.

But the price of the new IAC valve --- are you sitting down? --- was $643.00!

I feel that although they did a great job in finding the problem, the price is , how to put it, rather high.

Does anyone know the average price of this puppy? Here's the part # 2227062020.

Thanks!

Yeah, that sucker is a mite spendy...given how reliable they are, I'd tend to lean towards a junkyard pull if I had to do a replacement. Not really an option at the dealership, 'tho.

... When you have your car towed into the dealership and you have NO idea what's wrong with it, you're at their mercy...

Cheap places I found with an average of $450.00 for IAC valve:

But I can not get over that the dealership charged almost $200 on top of these prices!

What an expensive lesson. I should have supplied my own new one and have told the dealer to hold off on getting me that part.

Lesson #2: Get the price of the new part from the dealer and tell them wait; beat that price; supply your own New Stock, Toyota part, That way, that dealer can't squeal that the part is an aftermarket piece of unknown.

My loss; your...

pay to tow it home...... get a valve from the junkyard... thats the cheapest way out.


id also suggest removing the plugs and cleaning them up
