On the recent long weekend me and my mrs went to canberra to get away, anyway as i enteredt canberra on the friday nite my 32 started to misfire and was acting up something servere.

Anyways the next morning i went out of the motel started it up and it was fine... We went out and as i started it a couple hours later it started to play up again on the way up to telstra tower.

Anyways after towing it to a mechanic he said it seemed to be something to do with the ecu because he cleared a ignition error on the ecu. Which turned out to be bullshit because it started doing it again afrter towing it back up to sydney.

So far i have been trying everything i can think of, i have changed spark plugs, coilpacks, ignitor, and even got my hands on a stock unchipped ecu to see if it would cler the problem but seems not to be.

What its doing is popping and carrying on between 2500rpm and it wont rev over 5500rpm. It pops sounds like its on limiter and it backfires.

Another member of the forum seems to think its the cam angle sensor? Could this very well be the problem? Also when it tries starting it will want to kick over but then starts mucking up like cutting in and out but its hard to explain exactly over the net...

Let me know guys i need it running asap.

Scotti.

it sounds like you have changed everything.. its a long shot but could your timing belt have jumped a tooth, i dont see how the CAS would cause suck missfiring etc.. would just advance or retard the timing if it has slipped. it might be shot though..

also put a cupful of metho in the tank to get rid of water in the fuel. that could be your problem?

loom might be stuffed?

apart from that im stumped as you seem to have checked all the obvious ones

if you do figure it out let us all know what it ended up being.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
