HI there I am new to this forum looking for help with my 1993 GS300. Here's the story. I was getting onto the freeway about 2 weeks ago and gassing it to get around another slower vehicle. As I started to excelerate the car just died as if the engine only lost gas feed or something. Now I am unable to start or drive for that matter the car. I so far have checked for spark (good), I am getting gas as far as I can tell, and checked all fuses and links (good), I have also taken the alternator out and taken it to be tested (good). I am at my wits end. Please if someone else has had this or a similar problem give me some ideas to steer me in the right direction. Thanks.

HI, just have a few mins,try to check your cam belt teeth,or your timing pick up sensor.

The cam teeth look ok and the belt all looked ok now I would just have to locate the timing sensor. Is it located in the distributor or on the timing belt case it self???

check around the fly wheel housing,do u have any warning lights up or codes

My check engine light was coming on every once in a while but since then I had run the battery down and when I do the sefl diagnostic it just blinks no codes.

How many times.THE BLINKING IS THE CODE.The codes come up if the eng over heats, low oil in eng and g/box,and air flow,

Th car light will blink on and off without ever stopping to tell you the system is opperating correctly that is the only code I get. The car has enough oil and didn't overheat. The only hint I have is another poster I saw a little bit ago that says that The Throttle Possition Sensor controls gas shutoff and stuff like that so I figured maybe that might be it but with out the codes it is extremly hard to diagnose

OK,Take out the main 15amp fuse, [for10 sec]refit ,then count how many blinks.The blinks should be about 1 sec apart.any blinks longer than 1sec is the next code and so on,eg[4 blinks then2 sec later5 blinks]the code would be 4.5 ,so count every sec until it repeats.your throttle pos sensor work off your air flow sencor and will bring up a code.[when 15amp fuse is removed ,it clears the faults] also check your exhaust sencor because that also works with the throttle sencor.hope this helps.TERRY

Terry I thank you for all the help. The light blinks one second apart forever neverchanges i have counted it all the way up to 200 blinks and no change. 1 second apart. What main 15 amp fuse are you refering to???

Under the bonet,the panel of fuses,read the under side,the IGN FUSE 15AMP,To get the codes up ,connect a wire from your diagnostic plug B1To B3, ANDyour codes come up[if u unable to get them up ,check the hand book or w/shop manual]I'm back to work Thursday next week, iwill check it out ,and let u know TERRY

Hi ,this is the engine the book comes up with 7MGE, JUST CHECK IF IT SAME.Also look at the back of your diagnostic cover and check if u have TE1,T1,E1.TERRY.

It is and I do...Those are the same terminals I have been using.

ok ,so lets get the codes up,Get a bridge wire and bridge TE1 TO T1, THEN CHECK THE CODE.Do the same with TE1 TO E1, AND READ THE CODE. :D

That's what I am trying to explain it only blinks every 1 second and never stops. There are no codes stored anymore. I went thru those tests but I will try again as soon as we have breakfast and feed the kids. ok.

That test checks all your systems, and u not getting a feed back, look at your ECU conections,I think its under the seat.

My only concern is that the Battery was disconected and I think it erased the codes from the (ECU) I will try getting the codes doing the procedure you detailed . I will let you know. Thank you againg for all of your help.
