hey guys just wondering if someone could help me out. i've got a r33 with s2 rb25det, 6boost, big garrett and making 400hp but on sunday i got up, started it was running good, then drove to the track for powercruise (wa) and was waiting in line on idle and it decided it had pro cams in it and startd idling lumpy then when i went to take off it stalled n from then on i couldn't get it started agen....... see my problem lol.

i checkd it yesterday and pulled out no.1 plug and it was dry after tryna turn it over few time and made sure it was geting spark witch it was and checked the other ones and they were wet but not dripping... but all getting spark and battery is allil dead but we had jumper leads on but still wouldnt start just turns over.... any ideas would be much apprecaited. cheers

As much as it pained me to read that short paragraph..

Ok so your either missing spark or fuel, the fact that your 2-5 plugs are still wet sort of tells you it's probably missing spark still, despite you saying it was checked. How exactly did you go about checking spark? Have you verified fuel pressure still?

Rip the feed line off the rail and check it primes with ign. I was going to recommend putting the ECU into diags to check for fault codes, but looking at the mods it's probably not running stock management anymore.

As often as it's said for it to die completely like that I would be leaning towards a faulty CAS at this stage, thats pending your answer on how spark was verified.

hey man, yeah we checked the fuel by like you sed pulling it off and turning ignition and it had fuel. we tested spark by pulling out the coil and plug and sitting it up and turning it over and it was making spark so im kinda thinking cas sensor to... but thanks for all ya feed back. so what you reackon? if it helps was in powercruise the day before giving it abit and then burnout comp that nyt.. but started fine in the mornong.. lol cheers ya help

Im assuming u have an AEM computer? a PFC or something ?

I had the same issue, fkn lumpy idle, guttless, and died. My loom was loose in my pfc ecu. Tightened up the screw and she was sweet.

    • 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.
