Asking this on behalf of a friend and fellow user of another forum.

Recently completed RB20 Swap... just a straight swap as he blew his other one, DET Auto exactly the same engine as before and all runnign components just used a different block n head basically.

Car will crank over happily but will not fire, plenty of fuel, plenty of spark. List of things tried so far:

Replaced Ignitor

Replaced CAS

Replaced Injectors

Replaced & Checked Coils and Plugs

Replaced Loom & Injector Loom

Checked Compression

Replaced every fuse and every relay

ECU says Nil Errors (Code 55)

Replaced Inlet Manifold Gasket and Throttle Body

Checked Timing (spot on)

The thing has no intercooler pipes on it, meaning no AFM, so dont expect it to idle but it wont even fire or try to fire, just free spins. Plenty of fuel getting to the engine so its not the fuel pump either.

TPS or 02 Sensor? But I thought it would at least fire even if they were borked. Im stumped, advised him to go get a proper diag on it as im out of ideas but thought you guys may be able to point out something we have missed.

Cheers,

James.

It's got way too much air. It won't fire. The car also won't fire up as you're only running the TPS sensor and Map sensor. It'll be wanting the AFM meter as that is it's main information source.

Hook the pipes up, and then give it a kick in the guys!

If the AFM isn't connected then the car will start in limp home mode. It works completely fine til about 2500rpm, where it hits a rev limiter.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
