Hey forum I am having a problem starting my car and wanted to get some other advice on it. I have an rb25det with the series two engine so no ignitor module. Mods that might affect startup are are pfc, z32 afm set in pfc, nismo 555 also set in pfc, q45 throttle body and brand new super spark coil packs. Here is the problem as I try to roll the car over it cranks but just will not start. I have power to the injectors and fuel pressure. Do not know if fuel is being delivered as I didn't remove any hoses but can smell the vapors as I try to crank. I checked the power to coil packs but got nothing. I wanted to know if at ignition on should there be a constant hot to the coil pack loom? Cause I turned the ignition to on and checked every wire coming from ecu loom to coil pack and none had voltage. I also did the check in the manual for continuity between certain ignition wiring and got nothing. So I was just wondering are there any other checks I can do to the ignition system to prove this is what is wrong?

what did you last change

when did it last start ok

I changed everything. Last started ok before rebuild. Did a complete rebuild. Put on new intake, new exhaust, new injectors, new computer, different harness, different turbo and throttle body. Everything else is ok by my test throttle body .4 volts at ignition, injectors have a constant hot and pulse when cranking the car, have fuel pressure all lines are installed correctly and can smell vapours when cranking didnt remove any fuel lines, but I think those fuel checks were enough. Only problem is at ignition on can't find a hot on coilpack plug from ecu. Thats why I think I have narrowed it down to ignition, and was wondering if when ignition on should you have a constant hot to one of the wires from ecu loom to coil pack loom. During sensor check on pfc got throttle voltage and 3.54 volts on wtb something.

Da Boss, please put your stock or any other injectors in and change those yellow foolishness. I told you they are no good. Trust me on that. Once you do that you will be fine.

Sparta!

Lol, I hear ya. The yellow foolishness good though they got stuck from just sitting up there, had emm flow tested an freed they all good now. So Any other ideas, Mr Sky, I tired a catching ride now and these sr20 guys running the streets now, "So I heard.", and skyline fellows demolishing the cars. I have it narrowed down to ignition cause when cranking I get no power aor signal at the plug that comes from the ecu. I think that part a the harness is fried.

i was having the same simptoms as what you are explaining, try different injectors first and see how it goes.

Hey there forum, need to ask another quick question found out that the wire harness I am using is from an automatic skyline and mines is a manual. Was told if I am using a manual transmission with this automatic harness I will have no ignition. Do you think that is the reason I am getting no ignition? If so what do I have to rewire in order to get ignition.

yeah because different injectors will stop power going to the ignition coils :)

there is 3 wires into the ignition coil.

one will be thicker. this should be the ignition power.

you should be able to check the other 2 colour and see 6 of them that match at the ecu(loom)

these should have pulses when cranking, but you can only check with a led test light.

if there is no power to any of these wires when ignition on then there is your problem. get a multi meter and see if the thick ones all have continuity to each other. if they do and theres no power, try tapping into one of the thick wires and put a temporary 12v feed straight from the battery, then try cranking it again. see if it starts

    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
