im having a weird no start issue with my s1 rb25det. i confirmed fuel, spark, new cas, battery is good. when i crank it over it cranks and when normally it would fire up it instead my dash lights go dim and theres this weird winding noise. i kept trying and thought i flooded my engine, so i pulled out the plugs, some fuel but not flooded. i blew air into the cyl and cleaned off the plugs just in case. same thing happens. it was literally just starting before, all i did was adjust the CAS on the last fire up to correct the timing. its almost like the battery is bad, but its not holds 12v even after attempting to crank a half dozen times. im pretty stumped... the winding noise is something i never heard or seen before. opinions would be greatly appriciated!

so i played with the injector settings in FC-edit (im pretty sure they are right now), fully charged the battery, made sure the cylinders werent flooded and re-aligned the CAS and still the same results. getting really irritating.

so i decide to try to check the CAS per FSM but im a little confused. im going by this:

im trying to follow it but its a little confusing to me. i can hear the injectors going off when i spin the shaft... when i check the voltage to #2 i get battery voltage, 3 and 4 depending on the position of the shaft its 5v or lower. nothing at 1.

is my CAS ok?

im just so fustrated with my car, it was literally just running and now it wont even start.

worked on the car last night, basically started over as if i never checked anything. also put the battery on a battery charger prior to all this to eliminate that and make sure it was fully charged.

checked fuel pressure, and injectors. tried with lowering and also raising fuel pressure

confirmed spark

double checked coil and battery grounds, also added an extra ground from the intake manifold to the chasiss

double checked and re-tightend all intake manifold bolts and hoses and anything that can cause a vacuum leak

double checked all i/c piping and couplers

tried with my power fc datalogit base map, my orginal tuned map from last year, and a new map for this year compensating for my new injectors

tried re-aligning the CAS several times

tried with maf/afm plugged in and unplugged

checked and re-gapped (0.8mm) spark plugs

some flooding after trying all those things so i pulled all the plugs and left them off over night. have a new set of plugs (NGK V-Power BKR5E-11) ready to go in today after work, also going to spray some air into the cylinders to make sure theres no flooding.

and basically thats where im at...

so i think i figured out whats wrong with my car... when working on it, i noticed a small rip in my timing belt. there must have either been some debris in the timing cover or i accidently grazed it or something while working on my engine. i immidately put the crank to TDC, and the cam gears were off by 4 teeth. i put a new belt on and re-timed it. still wouldnt start. would idling less than 2 min, and doing cranks be enough to bend valves? im really worried i bent my valves...

Does your exhaust cam still have the locating pin for the CAS on it still or has it been snapped off?? If it has been snapped off youll have to lign up the CAS visually where you can see the marks on the end of the cam...just a suggestion, seems to catch a few people out when they pull out the CAS..

can some one post up some good pics of the exhaust camshaft where the CAS goes and also a pic of the inside of their CAS? the key on my camshaft broke off and i need to be 100% sure on how to put it on... im suspecting something with the CAS because it was the only thing i actually touched before i got this no start condition...

I can get you a pic tonight bud, But grab a torch and take a look at the end of the cam where the keyway used to be, It most probably wouldnt have snapped off clean, so you should be able to see the raised/rippled half moon shaped surface that it has snapped off.

Once you work out which side of the circle the keyway was on, mark either side of the hole the CAS sits in, (so when you go yo put the CAS you can tell where it is meant to sit)

Then grab the CAS and mark the side of it where the keyway is meant to sit.

Line up the marks, then slide into place...

Hope you can understand that, If not ill get pics tonight and demo it for you..

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
