today at the lights my car died, tried to turn it over it cranked but wouldnt start. then had to tow home! if i put the ignition to on the fuel pump doesnt seem the make a noise like usuall it was just silent. recently i had a front mount installed and im thinking it might be cause of that because it was fine before. might have something to do with the air flow meter when they put the filter back on?? so im pretty sure its either a fuel issue or to do with the air flow meter. Please help as im new to this game

ok then your fuel pump isnt getting the 12v signal or your fuel pump has died its more likely it just isnt getting the 12v signal so have you checked all fuses i know in the 33 theres the ones in cabin, ones in the engine bay and ones in the boot beside the battery if not a fuse best bet is grab yourself a multi meter and see if your getting the signal to the fuel pump or see if you can see if the signal is commin out of the ecu if it is and its not getting to the fuel pump you know your wires buggered up somewhere. a pfc is a power fc.

ive checked the fuses and there all good, i recently had my front mount installed so it could be the afm. have you any tips on how to see or check if thats working properly?

well the reason i say that its something to do with the fuel pump is the fact its not starting up when you turn the key to on. even if the afm was unplugged the fuel pump should still start up. the best way with your afm is just have a look that its plugged in properly, since you car is fairly new and with minimal mods then it shouldnt be the afm.

Yeah with AFM unplugged it will start and idle fine but wont rev properly.

Have you changed the fuel pump at any stage?

Have you checked for error codes on the ecu?

well it musnt be the afm cause it wont idle, i havnt changed the fuel pump so that should be fine how do i check for error codes whats the ecu

Maybe it is the fuel pump, when you turn the ignition to 'on' you normally can't hear a stocker. Your one may have been noisy indicating it's on the way out and finally died?

could be, but the cars only done 35,000k's should still be fine?

Maybe it's done 235000 k's and been modified then put back to stock and the in tank wiring is loose.

There's a million posibilities and I'm a bit hesitant about directing you to do this or that when you don't even know what an ECU is. That's not supposed to be an insult, just an honest appraisal of the situation.

Time to take it to a mechanic. Have you got one that works on imports? Whereabouts are you?

My Nissan Vector years ago just died also at a set of traffic light.

Could not start it after that, would not even crank.

It was the ECU.

You said you had crank but no start......

You also said there has been some work on your car recently involving you AFM's.

More than likely your tune has been reset or your plugs and or coils have some problems.

Did the car run well before this happened?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
