G'day people,

I'm having a problem with my hicas. I've tried searching for it in other threads but nothing to really match.

Well, my hicas pump sometimes plays up when i take the key from the ignition and have the car running on the turbo timer. a loud pumping/knocking noise comes from the hicas pump and on closer inspection you can see the pump convulse every time it 'pumps'. Also, when the timer is running and the fuel pump primes, it starts to 'pump' and make noises then stops when the fuel pump has finished priming. it does not do this all the time though. I've also noticed that if i have my headlights on and then take the key out of the ignition with the turbo timer on, the problem will occur until i turn the headlights off, but even this sometimes doesnt work and it will keep pumping and make the knocking noise. and lastly, it will also occur when i press my foot on the brake pedal with the turbo timer on. Sounds like an electrical problem but not sure.

I hope this helps

How old is the battery?

good question. i'm guessing its old. i've had the car for around a year and 4 months. i have never changed the battery, though it has been push started once :P and i have to start my car at least once every third day or the cranking sounds really slow and tired.

if it helps, when i took my aircon condenser out i undone the rubber hoses that go to the power steering cooling tube (thin pipe with heat sink fins at front) and in the morning when i woke up there was fluid on the ground. i had to top up the reservoir.

yeah, i'll get a new battery. you mentioned the speedo cable. i seem to have the speedo 'boogie', the needle jumping around under 20 km/h and

at high speeds the needle pausing then going again. bugger

yeh mines does the EXACT same thing....!!! well all before i put the new one in, although it still didnt fix the pausing at high speeds. It must be the cluster, or maybe something on the transmission side of the cable, NFI! When you figure it out let me know!

  • 10 years later...

talk about bringing up an old thread... after believing i had a fuel pump issue because of this "pump" and "knock" on ignition/prime, i changed the fuel pump... problem still existed, decided to have a look under the back of the car and feel around to realise its the hicas motor. I took the plug out the hicas motor and "pump" and "knock" disappeared. Did anyone of any luck with sorting this out? was it a battery or something else... all signs are pointing to faulty hicas motor as car has developed a shake at higher speeds which i couldn't locate previously but don't want to replace motor for no reason if there is another simple fix

 

thanks,

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
