My Freaking Rb20det Wont Start

[Jap4life]

Trying to get my RB20det gtst4 r32 to start this morning.

I have never got it running since I bought it.

There is supposed to be nothing wrong with it as far as I know although, we found there was no spark. So first we replaced the ignitor and that seems to have fixed our spark problem but car will still not start.

The car is not firing AT ALL.

Definitely getting fuel, we saw it squirt out the chassis rail lines.

Ecu is spitting code 13 and 43.

Just don't know where to go from here.

We will reset the ecu and see what happens

Please help

Have you checked the CAS? Make sure the Key in the end of the EX cam is still there.

The fuel needs to come out of the injector, not out the chassis rail lines.

Are the injectors working? Can you hear them "ticking" while cranking?

Are you trying to start the engine with a healthy battery? The ECU needs something like 7V to stay "alive".

Do a compression test on the engine.

The meaning of the error codes. 13 = "Engine Temp sensor" - break or short circuit in the sensor system. 43 = "Throttle sensor system" - disconnection or short circuit in throttle sensor system. The errors are persistent, they exist for about 50 starts. So reset the ECU, then immediately check for errors.

Code 13 is coolant termperature sensor, Code 43 is TPS (throttle position sensor)

First thing I would check are......

Do I have pressure in my fuel lines

Are my injectors getting signal

Is my CAS in the right spot

Is my fuel shit and old and needs replacing

Even if you had half decent fuel and the CAS was a little off it would start but it would run like crap. Does it try and fire at all or do you just keep turning and turning and getting nothing?

We listened to the injectors and we could hear them ticking.

We are going to try another CAS tomorrow but have inspected it already and seems ok.

Starting to think maybe something with the fuel system isn't right.

Basically just turns and turns till the cows come home and nothing exciting happens

tip.

unplug the ecu from the loom, and then put it back in but this time make sure the plug is sitting all the way into the ecu. screw the 10ml bolt a few times and press both sides of the plug and keep doing this untill its in correctly.

If the injectors are ticking, then the CAS is working (ECU gets a signal from the CAS then calculates when to fire the injectors).

Are the fuel lines on the right way? Also, pull an injector and watch the spray while you are cranking the engine (sit the injector in a glass jar or similar). Engine might well be flooded. Pull the spark plugs and dry them off. Also, try starting with WOT.

The errors you are getting will not prevent the engine from starting.

With the ignition on check for battery power to coils (whilst you are at it check AFM and CAS as well). If you have verified you aren't getting any spark I would focus on the ignition system. It is a process of elimination.

Are the fuel lines on the right way?

Solved.

Now I just gotta get this running 100%. Idles fine but doesnt rev up nicely. Seems to be down a cylinder or two.

HAHAHA Fcuk its siht when its just something little like that and you just dont even think to check it. Ah well leasts its done
