Starting Issues - Need Ideas!

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

ok, i get spark and injector click when turning CAS by hand, cant find anything broken or out of norm with it

can CAS still be stuffed despite this as it wont spark with it fitted??

[DVS JEZ]

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?

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

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 .. 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 , 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.
