is the key way still fitted in the cam?

i had a cas snap on me when running without the front cover, pull the cap off the cas and check the shaft isnt broken, also check the condition of the disc inside.

have you found some one else with the same cas so you can test?

not sure, but everything looked intact.. used a torch to look in and i could see the locator

still no luck finding one to test with....

i was able to start the car after removing the cas earlier, but it died again after 4mins or so, idled perfectly and gave me false hope :blush: .. i saw on the pfc ignition timing peak of 49, not sure if thats relevant

i have read ppl state cas can be turned in either director to make the injectors click and spark plugs spark, however i was only able to get it going in only one direction and it wasnt consistent clicking with the no. of turns (not sure if its meant to be consistent)

Are you getting an RPM signal from the ECU through the hand controller while cranking?

If you have fuel pressure, injector pulse, coil packs firing and compression in the engine.....as long as the timing is correct then it will start.

Try checking timing with a timing light while cranking to see what it comes up as

im only getting RPM signal on PFC controller intermittently, its when I do see it, im able to get it to startup on occassions, otherwise 95% of the time, no RPM action

im having a similar issue to DRFT33

when i crank the engine normlly it wont start

but if i turn the cas prior to cranking it starts and runs.

also if i let it sit idling for a while then turn it off. most times it will start up again without removing the cas.

car is an r32 gts-4 with an rb25neo

what could be the problem?

Hi

long time reader, first post :P, old thread bump but here goes...

I have exactly the same issue with my rb30/26

cranking the cas manually arcs my plugs out and spark is visible and you can smell fuel.

tried all the things that BWRGTR tried and more. had the timing cover off, comp test tried everything but the cas + afm

takin the afm out of my mates pathfinder makes it stall instantly and doesnt turn over, seems like a similar noise to the skyline when it tried to turn.

but apparently it sohuld start without the maf plugged in?

been workin on it non stop for 4 days seriously at the end of the rope lol

could it be the starter?

any input or ideas would be great cuz me and the boys are completely stumped.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
