Hi guys

ive had a search around the forum but i cant really find the answer to my problems

my second cylinder aint firing on my rb20det :banana: i know this bcoz when i go along and unplug each coilpack, the second one is the only one which doesnt change the cars idling rate

so i started by swappin all my plugs around, and shes still missin on that 2nd cylinder

swapped coilpacks over, still missin

now the only other thing im guessing is whether the injector on that cylinder may be blocked, so i ran some injector cleaner through my car, didnt work

tired another brand of injector cleaner, didnt work

so im hoping its that injector which is fluffed, my question IS - what else could it be if its not the injector?

also, if im to swap to different injectors, which ones are the best to go with?

im kinda leaning towards gtr's with a resistor pack, but i dunno whether more cc's are better or high and low impedence is better

i am lost, sorry moderators if there is a thread similar, i wasnt able to find one

im hoping im not up for big dollars to fix something internal... >_>

ditto.

i had the same problem , turned out to be the loom plug that goes onto the coil....\

look around for any cracks.....take it apart and rewire it if u have too...

shouldnt be anything sinister...

Do you have power at the injector plug? I think it's called a noid light.... plugs onto the injector plug (take it off the injector first) and the light pulses with injector operation....kinda crappy explanation, but yeah....

Take your plug out of the cylinder, start the car, see if it sparks......

if it sparks u know its not ur loom , coil , plug.

put a test light to ur injector plug, start car if the light comes on when the injector fires its good.

(ps dont take ur injector plug off ur injector. just push the test light into the back of the plug.)

the only other thing i can think off is that the fpr is f**ked , its running too low a fuel pressure... and ur high idle is from a lean mixture....

can you adjust ur idle on ur aac?????

check ur fuel pressure, maybe try another reg.

Maybe a big air leak some where????

ill try the test light theory..

ive just installed a new fpr and its running at around 70-75psi

it was still doing the same thing on the standard fpr, so i dnt think its that

a mechanic friend of mine said its most likely the injector that is not working or is blocked, but ive ran two diff types of injector cleaner through it and still no result

if u think its the injector just swap it with another cylinder....

pull cyl 2 and 3 and put 2 into 3 and vice versa... that will tell u if the injector is f*ked

i pulled the coil and plug out and ran an earth wire to the body from the plug and pluged everthing together.....

turn it ova while some1 whatches the spark... if it sparks.. its all good... if it doesnt ,,,, well thats that....

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
