I'm working on an '86 ae86 and I'm having some trouble getting it to run. It'll start but after about 10 sec. it just dies. Planning on buying it IF I can get it to run. Looking for some advice. I'll add details if I get some responses.

Soon I'm going to install a new coil and check the fuel pressure. Not sure if that's gonna get me anywhere but it's worth a shot.

Also going to hook the timing light up to it and see what happens to it when it dies. The timing light should keep firing even as it's stalling, so this way I'll know if it's an ignition or a fuel cutoff. It has to be one of the two.

It never hesitates to start but why it won't stay running is beyond me.


This statement says wiring/sensor/electrical gremlin to me. I unfortunately have worked on a few of them in my lifetime.
I'm truly sorry I can't be of further help to you. Good luck bro.


I'm hoping that's not what it is. The previous owner hasn't done anything to cause an electrical problem, to my knowledge. He bought it, boosted it for a little while until the turbo blew a seal, removed the turbo setup and parked it. Everyone that I know has had their hands on it before me and they say that it wasn't acting up at all when he parked it.
