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.

    • 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. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
