hey guys just wondering why my 32 needs to get some gas to start up? the fuel pump primes up and then when i start it turns over to the point where its about to start but then jsut conks out. the only way to start it is to give it abit of gas as it turns over and then after that everything is fine. i need the car tuned i know that but just wondering if it could be anything else like fuel pump/filter or anything?

anyone had the same problem? is it because its in need of a tune. the car is runing super rich but dunno if thats the problem for starting the car up? any suggestions at what to look at/change and help would be awesome. thanks

forgot to mention that my car also conks out when i boot it hardcore and then put the clutch in untill the revs go down and then conks out. kinda annoying too. what you guys think?

cut open your afm.

the connector on the left most as you look into the afm box is loose or disconnected. That is your air signal to the ecu. Get that soldered up.

happy face, problem solved.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
