Hi toyotaers, I just got my Fast crane ignition kit from LC engineering, and have some questions for anyone who has experience with them. It makes sense to me for big black to go to ground, blue to go to 12v+ (for the 22re setup), and the black and orange to the new coil. Where i lose it is the bundle of wires that included the orange and black also has coming out of it white, red, and orange wires that have a female connector with only 2 terminals. from my understanding, the yellow and white wire should connect to these after a male connector, yet the only other double connector is also female and the male connectors provided are singles not doubles, and i cannot get two to connect at the same time. i know this all sounds a bit convoluted, but i am just wondering if i don't understand what is going on here or whether LC didn't send the right connector. thank you in advance for any help you can provide
So here is the coil hooked up: This is the white/orange/red I'm wodering about on the right that has the double female connector: This is the only other double wire connector, but it is also a female:
After reviewing the PDF that LC has on their website, it looks like they did indeed send the wrong connector. I have contacted them to send a replacement.
got the right connector yesterday, and spent the morning hooking it up. I followed the diagram and instructions, yet am getting no spark! PLEASE HELP! what do i check for, where do i check it? i do have a volt meter
sorry for the stream of conscioisness throubleshooting posts, but i am getting roughly 12 volts going into the unit
same voltage getting to the coil, but not having 6 foot arms, i don't know how to check in the start position for trigger signal
haha, did, they told me to call FAST, after two FAST techs gave up, i contacted lce again, but the tech guy was in a meeting
well, problem solved! I ended up throwing LCE's diagrams and instruction in the fireplace, then used my haynes manual and FAST diagrams along with names such as Phillip for coil positive amd Henry for power from the ignition switch to make a schematic of my own. Fired up, then had to re-time it and set the idle. runs kinda smooth now.at leadt it is running, working out the rest ain't so bad.
Ended up driving 250 miles yesterday (didn't really want to put everything to that much of a test so fresh, but circumstances necessitated) and she drove like a dream. The most noticeable improvement was climbing hills, there was so much less struggle going up steep twisty roads. Now that it is in and working, it is time to bundle and route the wires to make it look all pretty!
