Running Horribly Rich With L24e Gear...

My L28 which is running an L24 ECU, L28 AFM and Green injectors (I'm assuming they are L28 items...) is giving me grief.

I originally had some problems where the car had some manifold leaks, and it would sound lke a tractor and really not make much power. It did though idle nicely and rev smoothly. I took the manifolds of and fixed the leaks. Put it all back together, went to start it back up and it was idling ROUGH, like barely going. Wouldn't even rev. Pulled the plugs and they were soaked in petrol. Woudn't even start now unless I cleaned the plugs first, and even then it would only run for a half a minute before dying again and soaking the spark plugs.

I checked and made sure that the injectors were actually firing (not just stuck on), and checked the cold start valve.Tested the AFM and the TPS (and they appeared to give back the correct resistance readings).Even tried my spare L24 ECU. Only thing I haven't tested yet is the water temp sensor, and thermotime switch. Although I'm not sure if its even possible they could be causing this over fuelling problem. I'm also going to check the fuel pressure to make sure the presure regulator is working.

Is there likely to be an issue with using the L28 AFM with the L24 ECU? Could any vacuum leaks have been covering this up before?

Cheers

had similar problem after i changed the head gasket on my old r30. was the fpr.

was also runnin l28e afm but was all good. their the same as far as i could tell, only different spring tension on the flap which is easy 2 change. not sure bout the injectors but would say they would b bigger? think l28's r 188cc. not sure what l24s are. but then again i ran 260cc (vlt) injectors when bolted a turbo on and would still run ok, just rich as..

Weird that'd it would just crap out all of a sudden. I've got a pressure gauge coming in the post but I may not bother waiting as I can get a replacement FPR reasonably cheap anyway.

Hi,

Found this note (but can't comment on the quality of the advice):

"An easy way to test for an FPR leak in the vacuum side is to replace the vacuum line going into the FPR with a length of clear tubing. Now you'll be able to see leak as it happens. IT will most likely show failure when your vacuum is at its lowest point, as in during acceleration."  (on http://autorepair.about.com/od/troubleshoo..._fpr_inspt.htm)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
