As some of you know I'm in the process of completing a 1MZ-FE V6 swap into my 94 GT and I am currently having starting issues. I started troubleshooting a few days back once I had the motor installed and all the wiring connected. My findings so far; There is no CEL, I have 0 spark on all 6 cylinders, there is fuel pressure at the rail, and my compression numbers are:
cyl1 - 200 cyl2 - 200 cyl3 - 200 cyl4 - 196 cyl5 - 198 cyl6 - 205 I also don't get the CEL with the key in the "on" position, and as richee3 indicated this means the ECU isn't getting power. I was hoping it was something simple like the igniter, but with no power to the ECU I will try and diagnose why there is no power before buying anymore parts. Today I will check all my fuses and relays with a multi-meter. I would also like to know the ECU power pin locations for the 1MZ-FE so that I can check those as well. This way if power is present at the ECU we can assume that the problem could be a bad ECU. Any help would be great guys!!

yeah thats the one, the cap is there. so now we gotta figure out why its not getting power. there is going to be 1 wire coming off the EFI relay, same colors, that feeds that connector. Need to trace that wire from the EA1 plug. Follow the wire from pin 2 on the COR. that is the same feed line for the junction box. If you cant find the split from it. you can make your own jumper wire.
just T into the black-yellow wire coming off pin 2 in the COR and T it into the wire that going into +B. That will feed all the other B-Y wires too. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

I also have a CEL on with the key in the "on" position. I haven't attempted to start the car yet since I promised my wife I would let her video the first start  . I will attempt to start the car sometime tomorrow.Thanks again Lamont |

The repair jumper cable did the trick and I was able to start the car today:
