Hey everyone

About a week ago i tried starting my car a couple of times, it wouldnt start. I realised it had no fuel :) , so i put 10 litres in

and tried starting it again. Nothing, the gauge read there was a decent amount of fuel but it didn't start.

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire.

I jump started it and it didn't start.

The engine is definitely getting fuel.

The injectors are working - used crank angle sensor to check.

And there is spark

Im running a wolf v500 ecu i swapped it with the stock one and still didn't start, i used consult but consult wouldn't turn on????

What could be the problem??

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire?? Could it be a CAS related problem?

Could i have damaged something trying to start it with no fuel?

If your sure you have a good spark and fuel getting to the cylinders then perhaps its IGN timing? I would have thought it would still cough and splutter. What was done to the car up until the time it wouldnt start?

we checked the fuel and its defiantly pumping into the fuel rail, then we checked the injectors by pulling the CAS out and spinning it and the injectors were ticking fine but im not 100% sure if they are working while cranking.

we pulled the first plug, it had a fair bit of carbon on it but was still sparking fine, do you think it might be worth checking the rest?

as far as i know the car was parked and nothing touched, but it was running on low fuel lvl's for a while not that it should matter?

im thinking maybe the fuel is bad but still i'd expect it to start.

it was interesting that we couldn't get the consult to work, so it may well be an electrical/ECU problem?

Having run out of fuel, you may have picked up a heap of crap which is restricting flow through the filter. You may not be getting sufficient fuel pressure to provide enough fuel to start.

What does the Wolf say while trying to start (injector time, ignition timing, etc)?

I didnt check the fuel filter, but the battery is reading 9.9V and when i jump start it the battery only goes to 12.0V

Ignition was 30.6

and Injection was 24.88

thats with the key at ignition

When i try starting it the wolf hand controller turns off.

thanks

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
