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....

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
