Twitchy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi all! The other day when i started my car it was more of a pig than usual when cold. I kind of fobbed it off and just thought she was having a bad morning and sure enough, got to temperature and all was fine... however every cold start after that (3 starts) it got worse and now it wont even start. I haven't done anything to it the last few months. The last thing i did do was replace the spark plugs about 1000km/s ago so doubt its anything to do with that. Anyway i have probed the ECU with NDS and i get code 55 (no errors) and i can’t for the life of me figure out what’s happened. The last time it started it wouldn't even idle, it would stall, but start straight up again. Foolishly when i got time to do some diagnosing this week i hit the reset ECU function in NDS and since then it hasn't started. Now i don’t know if that’s related or whether it wouldn't of started any way. I have checked AFM’s they seem fine, i have checked as many hoses as i can, i have checked coil packs (splitfire 2000k/m old) It gets a bit of a kick when trying to start. There is a faint smell of fuel as well. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. On another note I’m looking forward to watching the R35 GTR this weekend in Targa TAS... i'll grab a few snaps!

Cheers Andrew your igniter plug has worked loose due to the fact you did not plug it back in correctly when you did the plugs. Now your plugs are fouled due to trying to start it. Replace your plugs again and make sure the igniter plug clips home properly.

I didn't think about pulling the plugs out becuase they were so new.... a little digging round and i found that i i had forgotten to earth something... not sure what it was but i definately forgot to earth something near the ignighter. So i pulled 2 plugs out and they are both as dirty as 2 dollar (you know what) They are as black as black! Damn they were $27 iritop 7's too. I'll replace tomorrow and let you know. Cheers, Andrew.

Bumblebee Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 u dont need to replace them... if u can get it started with the igniter plugged in properly it will clean them on its own with a few revs and a semi hard drive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/215198-gtr-wont-start/#findComment-3801027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchy Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 For any one who is interested the new plugs fixed the problem... so in essence it was the most expensive spark plug change i have ever done! $30 a piece x 12 Thanks again!
