Hi guys

I have a Nissan Patrol and when i hit boost it will spool quickly like normal for about .5sec and then just die complety like a huge of nothing in a way. Then when you let it idle it will be idling and with constant missing and coughs and stuff. When u give it a quick rev off idle has a miss also.

I changed the spark plugs this afternoon with no gain at all.

I closed up the garage and turned the lights off and i couldn't see one like spark from any of the leads.

Then took No.1 lead off and put a screwdriver in it and and put it against some metal and it has a nice blue spark.

I really have no idea what to look at next ..

car runs striaght LPG thru Gas Research and has a Tb42 motor which is a 4.2L straight six.

Not sure if it's fuel or elec or motor or turbo i got no idea.

Thanks for any help guys/girls!

Rick.

hey mate,

if u put ur foot down and it gets to 0 boost, does the car just start to splutter and not go anywhere? also when it idles does it konk out? and one more thing...when u rev it...does t shit load of fuel smoke come out the exahust?

coz i had these issues, i changed the air flow meter and it was perfect. im not sure what anyone else thinks..but since they havene replied, then giv it a go! its got to be it.

hope this helps

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • 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
