Hi everyone,

I have been member of this forum for a while now, but have only recently (6 months) had a R33 Skyline. I had a lot of issues with spark after I got it, so I went down the path of putting 6 Bosch Coils on a mounting plate, and ran 6 high quality bosch spark plug leads to each spark plug. I made up the loom and checked it time and time again. When I stated the car for the first time after this mod, it ran and idled fine, I didn't rev it because it was late at night. The next morning I started it up and it was running with a slight miss. Then I drove it about 1km and it stopped, and won't start again.

When I try and start it winds over three or four times then it gives a kinda kick, like it is firing out of order.

I have checked the loom I made it is wires into the module plug in the order of 1 5 3 6 2 4 now this is the same as the firing order so I am assume I have this correct. All of the coils are putting out spark, all the leads are on the right way. I have checked everything and double checked and can't find anything wrong. I even moved the crank angle sensor back and forwards to see if it would make a difference.

What I am considering is that I am thinking it is something I have done wrong, but it might not be. Possibly an Air Flow Meter has died or a fuel pump.

I am booked into to do a track day in the Skyline on March 28th at Eastern Creek, so I am desperate to sort it out before then. If it was my good old Falcon race car I would fix it in a flash, but the Skyline is a whole new world to me at the moment.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Adam

Have you checked to see if your getting fuel? (just pull a hose off, into a bucket and turn the key).

Easy way to test the fuel pump is at least working for a start

AFM, could be. Hard to tell from that. It should at least crank over with a dead AFM, mine was.

Why you'd change the coil/coil setu[ though is :)

This may sound silly, but check your intercooler piping, my hose came off once, and it puzzled me for days... The car was still a little drivable, only because the hose was still partly connected to the pipe.

Worth while checking.

I have checked all the hoses, and checked the fuel as well. One of the members PM'd me with a suggestion it could be that the stock ECU can not handle the coils. I have a mate who does a lot of dyno tuning investigating an ECU. Any suggestions? Haltech, Wolf?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
