Car Wont Start

[RB32]

hey guys i own a nissan skyline 93 mod rb20

i went to start the car to leave work 2day and it would not start for some reason

we thought it was the battery so we tryed jump starting it and even swappin over

batteries but still no go.

RACV came out and had a look and at first they thought it was a dead fuel pump.

But after taking off the fuel lines and testing it fuel seemed to be pissing out when

trying to start the car so he now thinks that its got something to do with the electrical

connections. Ignition module maybe.

has any1 expeirenced this or know anything of it help would be appreciated as the

car has been towed back to my house.

cheers adrian ......

was the car kicking over??? or just nothing?? or does it start then die??

i would check simple things like the ground on the ignitor may have come loose, cooler piping may have come loose,

when i crank it it starts clickin n sometimes it will start then die off 2 secs later or it will

just click and not even start at all.

the 2 main connections on the ignition module seem to be rather clean so im wondering

if its the actual pack itself (module)

[BAMR33]

Well there's some spark to start it but not enough to keep it going, so I would say it would be the ignition module. If it was the coil packs one starts firing abnormally first which causes backfiring etc. but is not enough to keep completely stall the engine as you've mentioned.

Has it been raining down Vic way, because wet weather usually shows all the electrical weaknesses in a car.

have u checked ur afm?

[RB32]

well im headin towards it being the ingition module and yes it has been raining

in melbourne.

i havent checkd AFM but i can do. What should i look out for when checking?

cheers....

[RB32]

does anyone know if the ignition module on a r32 gts-t 93 model is the same as

the one on a series 2 r33 gts-t

cheers...

[BAMR33]

No, series 1 and series 1 only, no go for rb20 or 26 igniter either. Your best bet would be if you've got a mate with another s1 r33 just swap his igniter over to yours, a) if it fixes the stalling you'll know it's the igniter b) if it's still up to shit, the next most likely thing at fault would be CAS.

A genuine igniter is around the $700 mark new, if you keep an eye on the trader section you may find a second hand one but be wary it'll probably be stuffed too lol. not many other reasons why someone would take their igniter off unless it was playing up or you they were planning to make big power.

[BAMR33]

lol, for some reason I thought you had an rb25. rb20's and rb26's have the same igniter, series 2 r33 has an igniter built into the ECU.

[InterCooL]

you say your car is coming to life for a few seconds then dieing?

had you been doing anything to the before hand?

[Green_s13]

if you are getting a clicking it could be a back earth for the battery. i would also try what other have suggested

[RB32]

guys

the car is at the mechanics now and everything seemed fine until they checked the safc

and ecu connections

the safc has been installed wrong and that it mustve burnt out a connection.

they disconected the safc and it got started but something is trigging it off. (damaged

safc,ECU,etc)

Im hoping that whatever has happend hasnt affected the ecu because im not really up

for a new one. There going to run more tests on it on monday and tell me the whole story.

cheers. adrian
