hi every 1, last night my mates R33 series 2 skyline died on him. went down to check and after looking at a number of things found no fuel goin to rail.

Today we had another look at it at mine and found the fuel pump wasnt going when the ign is turned on. we checked the fuse and tried the relay out of my 33 and it was exactly the same.

We then checked power at the relay terminals, and found there isnt any power going to the relay to switch it. i bridged the power to the fuel pump and it starts & runs fine (after a jump start)!

Just wondering if any 1 has had a similar problem. i have no idea where the signal power comes from to turn on the relay in the r33's so any tips or things to check would be great.

Not sure if your car has one, but it could be the fuel pump contol module. On a 32 GTR they're behind the trim, right hand side of the rear seat.

+1

you can bypass this by direct earthing the fuel pump to the body and see if she fires up. It will be better this way also as the pump will get a full 12v minimum all the time.

it has had a second earth put on just out of the pump b4 my mate got the car.

is the fuel pump control module along the standard earth wire?? or does it change + to the pump aswell, if so that could b the problem as i think thers only a problem with the power.

I have about the same problem. I wired the RB25 harness in my R32 and everything was fine. I started it a few time so there was no problem there. Yesterday I hooked everything up (intercooler piping, radiator ect) and the car didn't start. No I see that my fuel guage is just hanging (it's WAY below empty). Today I checked to see if it is getting power at the fuel pump plug and nothing. What could this be?

I remember I had the same problem at first but one day it just fixed its self.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
