hey guys, ive been trying to get my car started for the past 2 days and still no go. first i thought it was the battery because it was dead and after i had charged it, it wouldnt take any load. i then changed the battery and still the same prob.

anyone ever had a problem like this before. to me it seems like its electrical because its firing but kinda sounds like something is cutting it off as it starts.

Thanks, Mike.

Does a fuel pump have a fuse?Did you check for petrol? :laugh::laugh:

Sound like an electrical short ...check coils and plugs.

Then check if you can hear your fuel pump working.

Also sounds like a blown fuse...check your fuses.

failing that, disconnect the AFM and then start it up with half throttle. If that works, you have a dead AFM.

Turn it off afterwards, cause you shouldn't run it for long like that.

Could be no vacuum in the aac valve, at the back of the plenum near the bulkhead

if it sticks open it can cause a vacuum leak at low revs and cause a stall, or it could stop it from starting at all.

Hey mate, are you saying that my aac valve could be stuffed or something in my plenum?

Heres a DIY from these forums

Normally this wouldn't cause your car to not start unless there was consistently no vacuum, however I recently had some issues with Idle hunting and occasionally the car firing but not starting, and this seemed to solve my problems.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
