Hey guys,

Not long ago, i posted up a thread cause i had a loud ticking noise coming from my engine somewhere....and with the support of you guys we found that it would most likely be the Hydraulic Lifters making the ticking noise.

I have since located a set of second hand lifters and the car is due to go in next week for repair. But before it does i have one question as i have found another symptom that has arised.

Whilst driving the car in normal conditions say along a highway, if i drop it back a gear and accelerate fairly hard, probably about 1/2 to 3/4 power...the engine will jump momentarily, a kind of misfire....

is this typical to a lifter issue? (im not very clued up on this kinda stuff)

Thanks guys.

unlikely, normally collapsed lifters will result in more noise, and slightly more wear on the camshaft (due to it not maintaining contact, but it would take ages to cause any meaningful damage). shouldnt have anything to do with what you descibed

with ur lifters, before u put the new ones in, i would go and test them all (and ensure theyre stored in oil). if u can noticably compress any with ur fingers, then theyre rooted. you should find some of your lifters will be fine (not all will have failed). if u have a plastic syringe handy, pump some new clear oil thru them (i think in the side, and it comes out the top) which might free any gunk in there (in the good ones)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
