85 supra check connector

[DTECH]

I bought a supra p type 5speed w about 230,000 on it. It has a cresseda's 5mge in it, because the TPS I had to replace came from a cresseda and not a supra. Anyway, One day I replaced the timming belt. I went to time the engine which requires the check connector to be bridged. Absolutely nothing happened nothing. Here is a list of the things I have done the past year to get it to work, yeah YEAR.
- Replaced the ECU no change, returned it.
- Replaced the distributo no change.
- Checked and rechecked the timming belt tesion and cam gear alignment, fine
- Bridged the wires going into the dist to simulate no advance, useless test
- Continuity tests on relevant wires going to ECU multiple times, all fine
- Bridged check conector w O2 sensor, apprent change in engine RPM but did not take advance off
- Replaced O2 sensor no change, alot better gas mileage though.
- Taken car to mechanic, they told me to sell it or some extravagant 60 bucks and hour diagnosis. No thanks
I have spent about 100 hours on thi,s and all on the obviously wrong cause of the problem.
Registration was due so I paid a guy to make it pass. he told me that it passed on its own but the advance was the only thing that would have made it fail. I time the engine by sound and it seems fine. I just recently blew a head gastket so that and rebuild is in the future. Any help on the check connector from the electically inclined would be apreciated
