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.

Ha! DiRTgarage, i think you're spot on! 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.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
