Hachi wont start !!!

It is a bit unlikely that the igniter has gone...it sounds like you dont have the original coil so I would first make sure that that isnt the problem. Cant you fijnd someone to borrow you a working OEM coil so you can check?

Tried the original coil but still had same problem. Looked every where in the engine for something out of place and noticed this (see picture). It looks like this is broken, what is this and can it effect my starting problem.

Can you also explain in a little more detail how I get engine codes. Im not very experienced with mechanics. The car is a JDM import so I think its kouki.

thats not your coil ignitor

its on the other side above the fuse box with a cable to the distributer cap

I know this is not the coil.

I just noticed this was broken and maybe this is why my car is not starting, does anybody know what this is and is it the likely cause of my problems.

This looks like the idle-up valve. It increases you idle speed when there is a large load on the alternator, i.e headlights, wipers, heater and everything else you need on a cold, wet night. It's not crucial to have it plumbed in, but you may need to boost your idle in the winter to compensate or you may stall.

btw 330uk, you still interested in the splitter, never got the pm from you ?

I still want this, let me get the car going and I will PM you. I was just in the process of booking the car into a painter as well.

So I assume this valve has nothing to do with my car not firing up.

look forward to hearing from you.

The valve would have no effect on starting though.

I think robokills car doesnt even have that valve..it runs though...
