Rb20det Cylinder 2 No Go

Hey all,

I got a r32 gtst-t RB20DET and a few weeksago it was running on 5 cylinders. I unplugged coilpacks one by one and found cylinder 2 was no go. I pulled out the sparkplug and coilpack and cleaned them, put them back in and it was good.

Its just happened again. Yesterday i change oil filter and oil. Then regapped plugs from 1mm to 0.8mm (with feeler gauges) Then started car and it was running on 5 cylinders. Checked them and it was cylinder 2 again. So i bought new plugs and put them in and still same thing. Then i pulled the coilpack off sparkplug and left it connected, started the car and it was definately working as electricity was coming out.

Still no good.... so i compression tested motor and it has 150psi across all cylinders. What could be happening?? Im thinking maybe the igniter??

I bought splitfire coilpacks.. on their way.. but im geussing they dont have a new igniter. Are there any cheap aftermarket igniters? Are r33 and r32 igniters the same? Or is it definately not the igniter///?

cheers

i changed the plugs thinking they may be at fault.

The coilpack is sparking but some one PM me and said its easier for coilpack to spark to atmosphere than it is when its inside engine..

As for the loom.... i have llooked but not many wires are uncovered... i will try a mates loom and see how it goes..

also a question... i had the coilpack plugged into loom but not on sparkplug... turned the car on and sparks were coming from underneath where i expected at bottom of stem... but also at the top... is this not right?? Or is it meant to spark there too. Im guessing its not. Ive been told to put silicone on my coilpacks to increase their performance but never understood what they meant... im thinking maybe put silicome at the top to stop loose sparks??

thanks

Have you checked that its not fuel that is the problem in #2?

Is the injector firing?

jus spoke to mechanic today nd he said to check if injectors r running. I dnt really know what im looking for but i geuss ill put a pices of steel rod against injector and use it as a stethascope (sp) and listen for a little tick. If number 2 had a dull sound it obviously isnt wrking correctly. But he said it still might tick but fuel just might not be getting through.

Ill check this sometime tomoro or sunday and post up.

cheers

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
