hi guys,

Haveing some problems with the fuel delivery to my engine. Engine wasn't starting the other day, so after reading some threads about people who had the same problem i came to the conclusion that it is something to do with the fuel system, i therefore checked to see if any fuel came out of the fuel filter (filter was just replaced a month ago) when the engine was cranked...nothing. I have located the relay where the ECU is and the one in the boot, how exactly do i go about checking them to see if there the problem? Any other things i can do to check what it is that is wrong????

cheers.

had same problem awhile back with in my S2 33...no fuel getting to engine. checked fuses and relay all fine turned out fuel pump had died. they seem to pack up shop alot in skylines so im thinking it will be the pump.

take the fuel pump out which is under the floor on the right side of the boot.....

see if there is any voltage getting to it, and when you turn the ignition on you should hear it prime the lines and buzz away, if 1 there is no voltage then it might be a relay...

or the common cause is the fuel pump has died... there is voltage but no action....

Get a new pump if its the 2nd one :happy:

Ya get a new bigger better one!!!! I had this problem - my car was broke for days while I tried to figure out what was wrong. We pulled the pump and replaced with a 550. Now is great! :)

O, if you do get a bigger one don't forget an FPR or computer will be in order after a while.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
