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

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
