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.

Cheers

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.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • 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
