you should own a regular car before you take on the headaches of a classic.

put it this way, this car's gonna be driven hard once a week. if it breaks it'll go into a workshop while I drive a daily. you, on the other hand don't have that luxury.

i got my parents cars in case something breaks..

anyway, off to sus out my spark plugs and coils again

dude its not hard to suss out what the problem is. Start the car, let it idle. Go to your coilpacks. Unplug the coilpack connector. Change of sound? If not plug back in, and continue through the 6. If there is no change of sound then that coilpack is farked. Replace it, end.

If it doesnt turn out to be the coilpacks, then look towards the injectors. See if any of the plugs has come loose. If it aint the injectors or sparkplugs, it could be the ignition module (the black thing ontop of the cover you remove at back of engine)

the only difference between when you got the car and it running like ass was your brilliant stroke of genius to "reset the ECU". what did you do to reset the ECU?

do NOT do the "tape the coilpacks mod"

i did that, car drove fine for a day or 2 then whenever i put my foot down hard car went nowhere...literally

took out coilpacks and the tape had melted loose and was all over the place

stupidity on my behalf but meh live and learn.

resetting ecu (disconnecting negative terminal for a day) is fine, ive done it heaps of times with no probs.

are you sure you havent unplugged anything and forgotten about it? or any loose clamps etc?

go over your engine bay and check all hoses/plugs etc carefully

just my 1.98cents

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
