Hey Guys,

My car won't start (cranks but doesnt fire) and doesn't have anuy injector pulse. Was havin a chat to a mate who is an auto sparky, he said he had one that just needed a new air flow meter. Does anyone have a spare that I can use to test if that is the issue, I am south of the river and am off work monday to thursday and would like to get it sorted asap. Please PM me or call me on 0439955897.

Cheers,

Steve

Before you just go changing out everything..

Do you have the original ecu in there? Checked fault codes, or hooked consult up to it to see if it was happy?

yeh it has the standard ecu, how do u go about checking for fault codes as I've never done it before. Had a sparky take a look at it last night who checked the cas and resistor and confirmed they are both fine. Apparently I have injector pulse it's just very weak.

I have a consult cable that can be used to interogate the ecu..

I have noticed that skyline injector pulses are very weak, the 33 I had a look at recently wasn't happy in the same way, turned out to be an earthing propblem, same thing, been left for ages not used, went to start it and it wouldn't go.

Yeh sounds like that could be the problem, so do you hook the consult cable up to the ecu or something? Sorry mate I don't know much about it. Did it specify where the earthing issue had occurred? If you can give me an idea what I have to do would it be possible to borrow it off you? I'm fairly close by in leeming.

Consult cable, along with a laptop or computer close by with some software to talk to the ecu can let you read the fault codes, if there are any, and check to see what sensors are doing what. Won't give you some thing like, tighten this bolt 'ere then eh.. but should let you see if the airflow meters are ok and responding, rather than just swapping every part of the car until you happen to touch something that is the actual cause of the problem..

I meant to check the earthing on the motor yourself, as that was the cause of this other car not starting.

I might be convinced to drag the cable and laptop around, considering you live about 2 suburbs away it shouldn't be that much trouble, but am a little busy at the moment.

I will check out the earthing tomorrow, see if I can find anything... Yeh if you could head up when your free mate that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
