I Think My Injectors Are Cooked After It Got Cleaned

One day (3 days ago) I decided that I needed to do an injector service, fair enough.. I dismantled the plenum, then fuel rail, then took off the injectors.... pretty straight forward right?

Took it down to a spare parts place to get them cleaned & flow tested... the guy told me your injectors were pretty dirty before and now are all good...

Took them home this afternoon, and then whacked everything back together and to my surprise, the car won't start....

Firstly...........I can breifly hear the fuel pump, pump then stop as in the fuel has no where to go... This never happened before...

Secondly.......My fuel filter popped off because of so much pressure...

This lead me to think that maybe the ECU was farked, so I poured petrol straight into the throttle body and the car started for a split second... so car still starts... narrowed it down to a fuel problem..

I have no idea, it's 11pm now and I'm so lost..... Help needed!!!! I checked all the injector wiring, its all in... I can't htink of anything else...

When you goto the last click on the key barrel, before the starter signal the fuel pump will run and then stop, the fuel pump primes, but as the motor is not spinning the computer shuts the pump off. This is so the pump doesnt keep running if the motor stalls or you have an accident etc. So this is normal.

Next thing is the injectors firing or not doesnt change the fuel pressure top pop the filter off, the fuel is held "back" by the fuel pressure regulator on the end of the fuel rail, when a certain pressure is reached it lets the excess fuel back into the fuel tank.

Are these top feed or side feed? If side feed you can removed the rail from the manifold while leaving the fuel lines connected, and carefully get someone to crank the motor and see if the injectors fire, be sure to have rags everywhere as you dont want fuel going everywhere.

edit i see your sig says rb20, so they are top feed, so you cant just take the rail off. I think you can use a test light, touch each terminal in the injector plug and you should see if it turns on for a split second, i havent tried this my self so im not sure if they are open long enough to actually see the light go on.

There side feed..... RB20DET

And before my fuel pump would keep on running regardless, it wouldn't halt.. The previous owner didn't wire the fuel pump to the ECU, its wireless into the ignition... I'm going to change that soon when i got time......

I got the car in a mess.. been fixing it slowly....

It's so weird....

Oh i thought rb20 was top feed thats why 26 injectors are an upgrade? Im not sure i dont own a RB20, just a 26.

Regardless how it is wired up it still shouldnt turn off. I think that could be the problem.. Are u sure u havent put the fuel lines on in reverse, then there would be no pressure in the rail, but then wouldnt explaine why the fuel filter would pop off etc...actually yes it would pop it off, there backwards

Well that could be a problem? but I don't think so.. because the fuel filter is connected to the fuel pressure regulator.. so thats right...

IT WORKS.... Damn I'm stupid sometimes....

For some reason I thought the sequence goes like:

Fuel Line --> Fuel Filter --> Fuel Regulator

never knew it was the other way around...

Cheers guys, thanks for you input......!!!!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
