hi guys, i recently had a flat battery and when i tried to start it it turned over slowly but then my power fc when a bit funny. I replaced the battery and turn the ignition on and the power fc has now reset itself back to its stock map, WTF, anyway car starts but is very rough idle and pours heaps of black rich smoke, so i booked it into the tuner to get tuned..but i decided to change afm since the rb20 one was maxed out in the last tune, so i went with the q45 afm, its all wired up sweet done a sensor check on the power fc everything reads fine, but now the car just turns over and does not fire one bit, so i put the old afm back on and it still does the same thing, so i pressume its nothing to do with the afm's. I havent checked as of yet if i have spark or not, but does anyone else know what what i could check on why it isnt firing anymore. My 32 has:

rb20det

td06-20g

gtr injectors

power fc

bosch fuel pump

tomei cams

nismo headgasket

power fc boost kit

hks front mount

thanks,

luke

Check you have fuel pressure...

Then check your plugs.....you could have flooded the motor with fuel.

If they are ok...then your powerfc may have to be tuned...because if it reset..the injectors

would have not have been entered...nor your afm....

Hope this is of some help...

take the plugs out and kick the engine over, see how much fuel comes out, if its just spraying its ok. if there's alot its over fueling. try narrow down the problem, like d/c the fuel pump relay then check injector pulse and maybe unplug the injectors them selves.

even try cleaning the coolant temp sensor.

if theres a lack of fuel try blocking the top fuel line that goes to the FPR with ur finger and crank the engine to see if there's pressure.

you will know it if there is >_<

do all that and you will have a better idea what the problem may be

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
