Hey guys....

This morning just about to leave for work, started my car without any problems, gave the window a quick hose to clean some crap off it,was about to take off and the car cut out as if someone had switched it off. Now when trying to start it it just turns over, never actually starts.

All lights are fine, battery seems fine.

Car is a 96 r33 Series 2 GTS T. Mods include FMIC, exhaust, filter, never boosted and not using powerfc safc etc.

Quick tests show that ecu seems fine, getting voltage values for AFM , duty cycle, 02 sensor etc, piping seems fine.

Definately seems electrical, especially the way it just cut out. Maybe something to do with the water? Fuel seems ok as well as i could smell fuel, but i thought it would splutter a bit if this was the problem?? Because i had to leave in a hurry didnt really check if i could hear the pump working when switching on ignition..

Any suggestions or tests i could perform? I've heard it could be alarm... coil packs? Don't want to tow it anywhere yet till i try some things....

Any help would be appreciated guys...

Thanks

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
