nb for cold starts in the morning ONLY

i've had some trouble starting my r32 since i got it. it cranks, but when you jsut think its turned over and the engine is going, it just cuts out. takes 3 or 4 turns to start and when its warm everything is fine.

i did a search and i think i narrowed it to the following:

- battery (which i checked and is ok)

- coolant tems sensor (which i cleaned and didn't help)

- spark plugs (which are in good condition)

- starter motor / solenoid (can't be as it still cranks)

- cold start valve

i don't know where the codl start valve is and then how to clean it...any ideas?

any other info you may have will be a help

It could also be your coil ignitor.

Faulty ones also tend to have cold start up problems.

Could be your injectors too as in the seals are worn and when you dont start it for a while you lose pressure in the lines because fuel leaks back into the engine.

Brand new injector seals get replaced when you take the injectors out for cleaning.

Try that :D

The air regulator is a valve that allows additional air into the inlet manifold to lift the idle speed when the motor is cold. As the motor warms up an electric heater warms a bi-metallic strip that closes the valve so it slowly lowers the idle speed. To see if it is functioning correctly, with the motor cold, pull the hoses off it and make sure you can blow through it. You could check that it has closed properly when the motor is warm.

ok well this was my problem aswell....... it turned out to be a fuel leak just before the filter.....it leaks out the fuel in the system overnight hence making it harder to start......was my prob anyway.... do a very good check with a torch while running and see how u go... check everything...... as previously mentioned...injector seals aswell.....

well i had some battery problems and changed that yesterday

turns out the battery was the problem can i say that with a new battery the car cranks bloody fast compared to my old ma70 supra. i didn't even reaslie it was a slowish crank coz that seemed normal to me. starting is no problems now!

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
