Was wondering if anyone can help me get my car started,

Its an R30 skyline with EFI'd L24 engine it in, i seem to be getting pretty good spark - but not sure about the fuel,

I cannot hear the fuel pump when car is on accessaries or start, i also removed the line from the fuel filter (in the engine bay) there was fuel in the filter, but i was thinking fuel should piss out when i turned the key to acc or start? this did not happen..............

Anyone got any suggestions?

Check relays and fuses, if all ok check power to the fuel pump. All ok probally fuel pump.

Had a similar problem a while ago; It was a dying fuel pump. I extended the life of the pump with a 15" adjustable wrench - just give the pump a tap or 2, and it might jump back to life for a while.

I have the exact same problem with my L20ET, and have had many a auto spark look at it whilst straching their heads.. i can tell you that it will either be the ecu (old/dry soldier joints), the relays/fues. The problems that develop with those old ecu's is a strange one because it wont do the smae thing twice.

the ecu just simply wont send any signal to the relays/vaccum sensors (one over next to the left strut) or in my case to the shitty little computer in the boot that apparently controls fuel and boost signals.

good luck.

try resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery for a little while, a good spray in the fuse box with some water dispersent, and kick the ECU in the guts a few time if theat doesn't work

Sorry to hijack this thread, but David I don't see you on the Classic Skyline register yet.

But my main question, is your 4 dr a Paul Newman Version or stock HR30, as we are trying to locate a 4dr version, last seen in Qld.

Cheers, D

mine has a computer in the boot that apparently controls the fuel pump and turbo (boost volumes?)

I'm in the same boat, needing a new ECU as mine is getting very tempremental these days.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
