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?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
