This is my first time on this forum im usally on honda forums. But i recently bought a 86 toyota MR2. Its good besides me needing to replace the oil pan gasket. This is my question, I was driving and i went over a speed bump really hard. The car then immediatly died. Ive tried to start it, it will turn over but wont idle. I checked the coil wire and the spark plugs idividually they all work. I have disconnected the fuel line from the fuel rail it spits out fuel when i turn it over. I poured fuel in the intake manifold and it would idle but when i pressed the gas it would immediatly die.I cant figure it out If anyone has had a similer problem on there mr2 please help me out i would really appreciatte your help. Im thinking fuel pressure regulator. But im use to hondas this has alot more vacum lines that i might not know about but ive checked all of them and there all hooked up so im stumbled.

Thank you

use Toyota seal packing (FIPG) for the oil pan. there wasn't a physical gasket for it.
check around your battery for the fusible link regarding your problem. also check fo rthe ballast resistor down around your coil/ignitor area.

When i went over the speed bump it made the middle connector on the ecu pull out. Not really noticeable but when i took off the ecu the plug came out further from me messing with it i plugged it back in and it works. Thank you for your prompt reply if that wasnt it im sure your suggestions would have worked.

Thank you,
