Hi all, I have an issue with my RB26. After it warms up, or after a squirt. Once the cold air circuit closed loop has opened. It started off really intermittient. Now it is getting worse. Shutters/hunts and stalls. Started off happening on the highway where it would be driving fine untill it starts surging/misfiring, feels like ECU cuts ignition and fuel, and it stalls, restart/jump start then it will be fine for a little while. I managed to get consult plugged in, and logged data stated faulty Mass Air Flow Meter code## (mind you this could of been from past unplugging of sensor, from having to clean oil out of sensors with contact cleaner (Co2) was causing simuliar problem earliar to this) have now pulled off most of piping around turbos down to housing, now clean!. I can see a little puddle of really sluggy oil (amount of a 5c piece) in bottom of back turbo housing, was also a small amount in front housing (blowback from running 12 psi now maybe) installing a catch can this time. Front turbo shaft feels ok no oil around it, can't reach back turbo shaft or get any further visual inspection of it, apart from a slight amount of greasy old oil around outside of rear turbo. I am thinking it is either of many of things after been reading a few posts.

Faulty - Mass Air Flow Meter sensor/s (enough, was enough).

Faulty - Air Temperature sensor.

Faulty - O2 sensor

Faulty - CAS.

Faulty - TPS. (allways had odd idling 900-1200 rpm depending the outside temperature)

Faulty - Fuel pump (pressure).

To much oil in the system (intercooler, plenium, AAC valve, air regulator). - not fun to get at on a R32!

Turbo said enough, is enough.

Or maybe even a injector/s or even possibly a ECU giving up. If you can help to my cause it would be much appreciated. icon14.gif

your airflow meters are catus. cleaning can only do some much. Replace them with Z32s or standard replacements.

It will fix your problem.. It happend to me...

Cheers.

they can be repaired...send them up and ill do them for you. $50ea

having the same truble with mine. its a stocker. i go down the road and hold the same throttle position for 1km and then it starts misfiring. i found a small hose hangin off the fuel rail which didnt help but it wasnt the sole cause. id be reluctant to blame afm's and more lookin at fuel problems especially if your getin voilent jerks.

Hey, Been tinkering a little, getting it on dyno tomorrow, get him to check for any vacum leaks while its there. Had it on the consult again today and it faulted the MAF/s again after reseting ECU. Getting odd readings out of both sensors, points me in direction of airflow meters. Unpluged one of the MAF's and was getting simuliar fault to the ittimitient one while idling, apart from I couldn't drive at speed due to the ECU putting the rev limited down to 2500 rpm. I will post once I have new MAF/s and more info. Thinks im going down right path now, thanks guys.!icon1.gif

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
