87 supra just bought, doesnt crank over at all!

[drumminforev]

So i bought this 87 supra 7mge model. The guy said he blew freeze plugs out, but I doubt it considering he didnt even know it was the Non turbo model (he swore it had a turbo).

Its not likely that he could have done anything at all relating to freeze plugs.

What is wrong is that it does not crank over at all. He said it was running when they shut it off a week ago, but now when i crank the key the voltage just drops and nothing happens. So either the starter is bad or somehow the block is siezed?

What are some suggestions at this point.

BTW there was oil everywhere, so some seal blew somewhere.

Possibly rod knocked so bad the motor cant turn. Why are you asking here? Find out if the motor is seized, spin it by hand.

Oh that was my other question. What size is the crank pulley nut. I'm asking here to get more ideas on what would be wrong

19mm

I tried a 19 and it would not fit, too small...

install VNC on your supra so we can access it remotely and do the work for you

If 19mm is too small, then....


....


try 17mm? 0.o

Try a new battery? I bought a supra and it would not crank, but one new battery and new plugs and viola, it cranked. Then I tore it down and replaced the hg hehee.

lol... well i bought my turbo and i wouldnt crank and it was the igniter.... so 1) check battery voltage 2) does it click 3) cam sensor 4) spin it by hand....and so on.

Did you buy the car not even checking if it was a turbo? Its always a good idea to get cars you want to buy checked by a mechanic running or not just to tell what ELSE is wrong with it, its always something, if it won't spin over well theres your excuse for a 7mgTE.
