Samurai TBI | No Injector Pulse

[fixkick]

Well Match A Knob never even replied to any requests so I requested a refund from PayPal. I ordered some "ebay" transistors. They just arrived. Will update once I get a chance to test them and hopefully install and give good news of it running again!

match knob is  "pin ball machine"  parts seller from 2007,  13 year old links they may be offline forever or KUNG-FLU down.

just use google or ebay
those are real Japanese made transistors, not USA brands.  so takes a bit of work to find.

but can be found,  ive even ordered from 2 sources at same time so down time is less.... on car.

i presume you read the numbers off the transistor cases right.?
2SC1234 (fake example)
is marked C1234
see?
2SA, 2SB,2SC are common . prefixes from japan. it is there numbering system only.  
good luck to you.

yes new caps are wise.  , they can dry out and no outward signs, but all fail ESR tests if tested and are bad.

Well no good news to report. The high side transistor was bad. I soldered in the new one and still no signal to the injector. Honestly I think I give up. I am probably going to swap to a carburetor system instead. I've had enough of this and I just want my Samurai to run again. Thanks for all your help, bummer it did not work out....

If i had more time I would find a donor 1.6 8v tracker/sidekick and swap the engine/harness...just need more days and time!

sorry to hear that.
yes it is a real pain not having a spare ECU,  Smmurai's are long in the tooth , some parts are near impossible to  find now.
yes the better,  G16 EFI TBI is far better choice, with lots of parts and even mighty CARDONE 1 sells rebuilt 56B30 (mt) ECU, lots were made, huge so rebuilts exist.
get 91 to 95 TB  harness. and intake manifold (+TB) and ECU,  )
how ever the sammi setup makes its own spark. (SANS ECU)
so one can go carb.  vastly more easy than 91+ sidekicks that do not have self made spark (distrib)
The best carb is the CV type vastly more easy to tune. for sure. (ex carb guy here) Harley carb.
after buying the carb here is kit
