i think that is still the orig the car is a 94 with 187000 km
please help before i smash it
ta
Fuel's vaporised in the fuel line most probably.
how can you cheak is the coil is doing it job
with only one person
pull out a spark plug and earth it while its all connected up, look for a spark across the spark plug gap. i have heard of times when a coil gets hot some of its internals go whacky and wont work, but i dunno if thats efi coils only.

I didn't realise they made 1994 TR Magnas with Carby (i even thought 93 was the last of the TR's :S)
My brother is having the same problem at the moment, with his 94 TS 3L V6, when he gets it fixed i'll let you know what the problem was.
sorry i must have not been thinking
it is a 1990 tm magna
i think that it may be the origianl coil
what is the expected life of a ign coil
still looking for some advice

I doubt it'd be the coil,
Here's the problem my brothers car had :-
It had something in the throttle body stuffing up, cuz when the car is cold it runs on the automatic choke and then after its warmed up it switches over to something else and then if your something else is faulty the car wont run when its warmed up, try looking at your throttle body for anything unusual, sorry i cant be any more help.
