i had a fellow sau member put on a bosch (032 or 040 or somethig) internal fuell pump and the installlation went well....drove it for 30 mins around and it was running well....as i was going home and then i had a a quick lose of power and the engine would slowly die.Tried starting the car and it wont start at all...

i could hear the fuel pump switching on but it wont start..It would just be cranking on the ignition...

Called him up and he told me to check my fmic piping and afm (there could be a leakage not getting enuff air) and check the fuel pump wirings ( a wire would of came off). I checked em all but it still wont start...

can someone help me out as please....it seems it wanna start but something is stopping it....

cheers

Take the fuel hose off the end of the reg...

See if fuel is coming out.

Sounds like a botched install of the fuel pump - is it a genuine BOSCH? Plenty of fakes on the market - usually easy to pick as they are just too cheap.

yeah he does, and yeah if no fuel then maybe the stock wire just isnt big enough to power the 040, im guessing the 040 is similar to 044, when i got mine done u run another wire that follows the stock on thats a thicker core, otherwise it'l melt like it did on my mates vl after he got a respectable well known dyno'r in sa to put it on...

car feels like ders no fuel going thru the engine....fuel reg might be faulty..what do i do now??

Have you pulled the fuel line off that goes to the reg and turned the key to on? Does the fuel pump out?

If not the pump pickup may have fallen off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
