Tim,
Once again I thank you for your wisdom.

Hey all, just a quick question.
Anyone know the size of the o-ring that goes on the injector holder that sits in the manifold?
Scott
Hey helpful people that you all are. Whilst doing stuff to my van, (see my van service post) a wire broke off a connector. I can't seem to find a reference in the manual I am using to say what it is...
lol. she cracked up laughing when i told her.
I think it was more wishful thinking than expecting. Mind you my darling wife and eldest daughter both pretty much said the same thing as you and that I should of known better.
Anyways, can't do a...
So my dear van has been running crappy lately so I decided to do a service and figured I’d do everything I've been meaning to lately so get all the parts ready and start work Saturday morning. Whilst...
Thanks Tim, I'll take all four to the guy that did my others and get him to check it out. PITA
Hey peoples,
I'm thinking along the lines that one of my injectors is rooted but would prefer some confirmation.

Left one screwed? I'm thinking the pintle has broken off.
I thought...
Firstly I hope you all had a good xmas.
I'm toying with the idea of changing my van from a manual to an auto.
So i thought I should do some research first.
Now I know that you all aren't going...
Thanks Tim, you nailed it on the head.
Hey all, just need a little bit of help please.
Changing the wheel bearings on my 95 Spacia and the only thing I can't locate is how tight to make the nut once the hub is back on.

Okay i have a problem. The stupid bolt/plug on my gearbox has been rounded and vice grips aren't even helping.
Any Suggestions on how to get the plug out so I can put oil in and replace the plug?...
It's alive.
So wasn't able to actually do the pressure test due to lack of tester but, I decided to swap the regulator anyway due to the fact I had a spare one. Crawled under the van to see what I...
Thanks Tim, I'm not going to worry about the injectors this time. cant justify the $120 to get them cleaned.
my only question now is what gasket thickness should I use for the throttle body gasket...
Tim, some questions.
I haven't done anything with the van yet as haven't had the time so tackling this on the weekend. I figured while I'm playing mechanic I might clean up the spare throttle...
Thanks Tim, I'll have to look at how I'm going to do this.
The pump I got hold off was out of an '89 torago (previa).
Will let you know what happens
Okay so got it all back together and took it for a drive and it sound like a Volkswagen, (don't know if it rives like it cause I've never driven one)
So, first question,
The petrol pump the got...
Tim everyone in this house is now calling you a hero.
Fuel pump replaced and it runs.
New question, now that it's running i'm going to double check the timing while the engine cover is off,...
tim, did your test, didn't hear the fuel but, i have fuel everywhere it seems and you can smell it when trying to start the car.
:wall:
what is really throwing me is the fact it just wouldn't...
So not much to update with as rain h stopped me being able to do anything.
After reading the responses I'm thinking fuel problem. The plugs are dry upon removal. Going to tinker with it again in...
Thanks Tim,
Will look into the timing in the morning. Would that make it not start suddenly with out any warning? ie the van has been running fine until it wouldn't start. Also any idea on the...
whoops, no it's still not starting hence why i'm stumped.
Update:
I have spark, don't ask me how because I don't know and i'm not complaining.
No error codes are present and i have fuel, well up to the injectors anyways.
So now I am really stumped....
Thanks Montex, fuses was one of the first things I checked and sadly it wasn't that simple a fix. Will just have to keep eliminating things me thinks. Off to check the codes
Tim,
I'm getting 1.7 reading on the primary coil and 8.8 on the secondary coil when testing. Would the small difference of .2 higher be the issue?
Also i noticed the rotor arm and terminal...
Thanks for the response Tim,
They never made a manual specifically for the Spacia which is a pain in the butt.
Motor wise they are very similar to the early models just a few different wiring...
I need ideas please people. My 95 Spacia won't start.

Has been running fine with no issues. Left the headlights on last night for over an hour, van started fine without hiccups, then...
