So I just completed a headgasket swap and in the process, the wires going from both the distributor and coming from the distributor decided they wants to get loose. I tried to color match and connected them that way but no luck once I tried to start the car. It cranks but doesn't fire up. I pulled a spark plug wire off the spark plug and tried grounding it onto the intercooler to see if it would make any sparks but nothing happened. I haven't tried this on the coil just yet as I figure its the wires on the distributor causing the problem since the car ran before this. I considered it could be the timing since I had to put the car to TDC while I did it but I think it would still spark.
The big problem, my wires colors don't match the BGB.
I'll list what I have in comparison to the BGB states.
from dist:
yellow BGB doesn't have a yellow coming from the dist, it has black
green
red
white
from harness:
red
green
yellow
black BGB doesn't have a black listed, it has blue
I tried
dist-harness
red-red
green-green
white-yellow
black-blue
&
yellow-red
green-green
red-yellow
white-black
Any advice or maybe a diagram that has these colors? The dist. is a genuine Toyota dist. that came with the car, has the green label on it. Any ideas on what else could keep it from starting incase I did have the wires connected correctly?
