My Car Wont Start, I've Tried Everything Just About...help Please!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've posted in Classic skylines but havn't had much help.

Please check out http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/sh...9894#post449894 and reply to me in here. I'm pulling my hair out trying to sort this!

Are the injectors actually firing?

I've heard people say on here to pull the CAS off, spin it by hand with the ign at the "on" position, and listen for the clicking of injectors.

L20et's do not have a CrankAngleSensor....

Might be stating the obvious but have you looked for the 3 points of combustion? Fuel, spark, and compression? Pull a plug out n see if its wet after cranking, check to see if your getting spark by earthing a removed plug on the head, test for compression...Im no expert but unless the compression was really bad on all cylinders you would get some sort of firing...

Hope you get it running!

If it's run off an ECU, how does it know when to fire then? (Not common with L20ET). The ECU needs to know somehow where the engine is upto cranking. Spinning said device, will enable the injectors to fire.

Has this got the big dizzy, about 4" diameter (ie much bigger than the older L-series dizzies)? If so, it has a slotted disk inside that acts as a CAS. If the detector in that was cactus, then the ECU would not be getting the required signals to open injectors and fire sparks.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
