MK1 1b cranking but not starting error code 6, any ideas how to fix issue

Split from MK2 thread.
Please do not hijack other people's threads.

Start by checking the wiring to the distributor/ignitor

Thank you, not used to the blog process etc, it has been identified as a sensor within the distributor housing although the sensor doesn’t seem to be available on its own...only a complete distributor...any help in how to purchase a sensor or the distributor itself part no on the original is 19100 16200 ...thanks again

Your best bet will be a second hand distributor, try TCB parts, (advert at the top of the forum) or one of the MR2 breakers Paul Simms https://www.mr2mk1toyotaspares.com/ is pretty reasonable

Thanks for the advice will check these out and hope to get back up and running, really appreciate it

Make sure you get one with the same part number, IIRC there's 3 different distributors for the MK1 and they are not all interchangeable

Oh...just I have the part no on the original so will recheck my order..strange thing is I understand it’s a sensor within the distributor so hoping to possibly keep my original distributor and use a sensor from a donor...let you know how I fair out ...Thanks again

There's two sensors in the distributor, NE and G can't remember offhand which one does what. If your using the part number from the original distributor then you should be OK.
