just installed a 93 1.8 into my 95 corolla but it wont start due to no spark will this engine work i

[Troy]

the 95 had a crank position sensor, the 93 engine has no place to put one (i dont think) ? although i do have it plugged into the harness and the 93 had a different distributor but i used the 95, i get power to the distributor but no spark to the plugs , both engines ran before pulled, wondering if anybody knows if this engine is even going to work in this car?

Which engine did the 95 have in it?

 

[Troy]

It had a 1.8 same as what I installed, will I need to change computer and harness or is there another way ?

 

[James Burton]

Was it the same model of engine? Like my 93 DX, the 1.8 is a 7afe. If I remember correctly, there's a plate on the grill side with the model number.

 

[Troy]

The 95 is a Dx the 93 was scrapped and I'm not sure of the model but it looked pretty much the same as the 95

 

[Troy]

Also the engines looked the same other than the distributor and a couple small hoses to the throttle body

How were the oil pans shaped on the two engines? My 1.8 has a separate oil pan underneath the block pan/cover, my 1.6 it's all one piece. Hoping I never need to pull my 1.6 oil pan . . .

P.S. Had to switch engines in a 93 DX because of a torn up driveshaft. Took out a 1.8 and put in a 1.6 of same year.

 

[Troy]

I know both are 1.8

 

[Troy]

My issue isn't the model or the size it's the 2 different years that separate them I believe the cps is my biggest issue so I need to know if I'm going to need to change computer and harness to make my engine run ?

 

[James Burton]

Understand. But, if you're switching years but not engine models, then it's probably ok. That was the main reason I asked.

Also, since I know this forum isn't very busy, have you tried Toyota Nation? It has a lot more activity.

 

[Troy]

I think I've be on it to look but have not joined to post, so you say it should be OK, what about the fact that I have no where to install my cps unless I use the 93 distributer which requires a different harness which in turn would no doubt require a different computer

 

[James Burton]

That I'm not sure about. That might be another question for Toyota Nation.

 

[Troy]

Still have not come across anyone who can give me the info I need on this project surely there must be someone out there who knows ???

 

[James Burton]

Unfortunately not very many people use this forum. I wish I knew more myself . . .
