mine is playing up as well, it will only lock with the key and is sometimes hard to get to lock even with the key. this started soon after me slamming the door really hard... (women)

any ideas on how to fix?

Had this same problem a few weeks back, turned out the "gears" in the locking mechanism were full of gunk inside the door. I cleaned it up, made sure it was well lubricated with some oil and then put it all back together. Haven't had a problem since, hope it helps :blink:

either that, or check inside where the lock is in the actual car frame, see if its still connected;

when i had my alarm installed, the passenger side would lock. this was due to the locking bit where the clip on the door inserts into to lock the car.. in mine, it was disconnected/broken.. fixed it up with duct tape :blink: before i can get a new one(like 5 bucks if that off a wrecker)

mine was doing the same thing...thought it was a dead actuator so i gave the spare i had to my installer...he gave it back to me when i picked the car up and said it was a crushed wire that came from the car into the door...ran a new wire and all fixed :blink:

  • 3 weeks later...

same problem, only on the passengers side, and the door is locked and won't unlock, it appears something in the solenoid is jammed and is preventing the actual door opening mechanism from working >_< f**k it's pissing me off, i've been playing with it all morning, can't get the sucker to open.. any tips?

i had Doug from Eastside Installs come around yesterday to have a quick look at my alarm as i said above, i have the same problem...

it was easy to fix, just a wire in the door that had gone bust, split by the door... easy fix... :D hope this helps?

great success! i didn't take any photo's but if you've ever had the lock mechanism out before it's not hard to picture..

there are 2 screws that hold the solenoid onto the lock mechanism, and another screw that was missing (presumably come undone and fallen out some time ago) that held the solenoid to the frame of the door.

over time it appears that the plastic bit of the solenoid that pivots the door lock up and down had been flexing against itself and somehow eventually come out of the door lock mechanism..

effectivly this jammed the door lock from unlocking, the only way i found to overcome it was to use a long flathead screw driver with a thin blade to wedge inbetween where the two attach each other and then rotate centrifigully, flexxing the solenoid away from lock mechanism and allowing the door to unlock :huh:

works a charm once you sit down and take your time figuring out how it all works, which is pretty hard when the fken door won't open and the only way you can get inside the door is to flex the interior trim :S

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
