Hey recently i had a Bosch 040 and new oxy sensor fitted to my car as both of my old ones were stuffed. Now after the Bosch went in the car either cranks for a lot longer before the engine starts or it wont turn over at all and you need to pump the accel pedal to start it. Anyone got any suggestions as to the cause of this? Obviously its to do with the new pump but anyone know why. Once the car is going it runs fine.

Cheers

which cable is that? sorry got no idea what the earch cable looks like.

My experience with the bosch fuel pumps is the same. The pumps don't hold the fuel pressure once switched off due to backflow through the pump. This results in a longer priming period once the car has been sitting for a while hence the cranking required.

This is probably due to the clearances on these pumps which aren't like the stock units or the walbros which hold system pressure well. I installed a non-return valve in the delivery line of my previous car but it didn't improve things. My current skyline runs a walbro which I am very happy with. Functions better than stock pump IMO.

Hope this helps

So what your saying it that it is the pump and that is just how it is? Sometimes it just cranks and cranks and wont start but then when you turn it over again it will start.

ive got the same pump and mine doesnt do that, same with 1000's of other ppl.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
