Sorry mate with the imformation you have given us it could be hundreds of things, anything is just a guess. I would look into the diagnostics in the computer before you take it to a mechanic, as most wont know how to do it and youll end up spending money for them to figure it out. If you dont feel comfortable doing it, just find out the procedure and give that to the mechanic, it could save you several hundred dollars in misdiagnosis. Remember an engine only needs three things to start, fuel, ignition and compression all in the correct quntities.

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?

yeah the car ran perfect. the only mod was a front mount which we had the stock air box cut to fit the cooler pipes. apart from that the car was great.

Sorry. if your nissan vector wouldn't even crank, then the problem wasn't the ecu.

Another obvious thing to look for is any intercooler hose that has popped off, but im pretty surre the car would still start, it would just run really rich.

Did the car yard warn you that the Kms could quite possibly be non genuine?

na mate if you saw the car you would think different. fuel pumps go on new cars too. besides the car has done a lot of sitting round as it is 8 yrs old! they are genuine k's

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
