Hey guys,

I have recently had my car fully retuned & since getting it back, everytime i shut the car off it seems to want to keep going. What i mean is when i turn the key off the engine is still trying to run, but sounds as though its out of fuel or something. Why wont it just fully shut off when i turn the key?? The tuner seems to think the pistons have carbon build up on them??

Any help would be great! Thanks

sounds bout rite. carbon on your valve/pistons can glow, causing a deisel effect. basically the air and fuel are stil getting sucked in but instead of the spark plug igniting the mix, the glowing carbon buildup is. you should get it fixed, as at high revs, this could cause detonation, and demolish your engine.

Sounds like your injectors are incorrectly wired up to 12V constant.. meaning when IGN is turned off, the spark continues. It's only when the fuel in the rail is expended that the motor cuts out.

You don't have a turbo timer hidden away or anything like that?

I'm not sure about the carbon continuing to burn.. but it's possible in theory.

Is there any way to get this carbon off?? Im not sure if he touched the injectors? I assume not.

He mentioned that its running 22deg timing?? Its just got me puzzled, as this never happened to it before it went in for the tune. & he cant think of what it might be also.

Is it bad that this is happening??? Will it wreck my engine??

thanks for your help!

If it wasn't doing it before the tune then it _has_ to be something your mechanic has done and he needs to fix it. Stock ign timing for an R32 GTR is 20degBTDC, so 22deg is not too far out. I'd suggest that your mechanic needs to look at the work he's done and if he's any good he should be able to identify the things that would cause or contribute to the problem.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
