Under water now want start

I rolled my 07 Tacoma in a pond 6 months ago and purchased it back from the insurance company. My plans are to turn it in to a trail truck. I have been trying to get it started, but I can not get any power to the coils. I drained the oil and pulled the plugs and got the cyalnders cleared out. The truck will turn over but it seems like there is no power to the coil packs. Does anyone know what the problem might be or what I should check next?

 

the computer prop is fried

 

I bieleve rolling it in a pond could be the problem.. Lol its probably electrical like said above.

 

We think we have narrowed it down to the computer like you said or the crank sensor. The plugs to the computer are not corroted or rusted. Also all electrical works in the cab of the truck. The air bags deployed during the wreck so could they flip a censor or something?

 

no, I had a buddy that got his nissan real dirty and decided to wash it out real good, not a good idea. I would say its the computer

 

computer

 

Thanks i will try a diffrent computer this weekend

 

Water getting in the computer can cause a short just like an electrcal outlet, except you won't see any burn marks.

 

sounds like everyone else said it already.

 

Try putting an impact on the crank shaft and see if it turns over.

 

the only burn mark will be in your wallet

 

The starter will spend motor over, if i replace the computer with a salvage one will i have to have it reprogramed?

 

If you get one from the exact same model and option package as your current vehicle, no. You might have to get the keys re-done, though. If the model is different...maybe. I swapped in a manual transmission to my Mustang with an automatic, and the computer had to be re-programmed. I honestly can't say if the trannies are the same if there are other options that may required reprogramming.

 

hahaha

 

Thanks for the info on the computer swap

 

By computer you guys mean the ECU? Where is it located? in the cab or engine bay?

 

We switched out the computer and re programed the key and the truck runs fine. Pretty good since it was 5 ft under water for 9 hours

 

Wow. Congrats!

 

Now that you solved your truck want start issue, share your pond story.

 

2nd ^^
