Is My Cas Not Working Properly?

Hey,

Trying to diagnose a problem with my crank angle sensor,

Its an rb25 running an rb20 red top cas. (ems 8860 ecu)

Im not getting spark under cranking conditions, if I turn the ignition on & take the cas out & spin the thing I can see the coils firing and hear the injectors clicking (they coils seem to be firing very fast tho)

Wiring seems in check as far as I can see.

Is this a cas related thing or would neither injectors or spark work if the cas was playing up?

battery faulty or dead. Starter motor drawing too much current. Check earths, check cranking voltages.

If the cas works when you turn it manually, but not when cranking, then it's usually a case of voltage drop when cranking

have u looked on ur cam to see if the key is still on it ( little peice of metal that links inside cas ) sorry dont know technical name ! but it wont spin it if its snapped off ..

had similar problem when it didnt link up and cas wouldnt sit properly in.

Really hope this isnt the case otherwise potentially ( could be wrong ) rb20 cas dont work with rb25's ?? good luck

Hey mate, I actually have an ecu that requires the cas wheel to be 1 tooth out, (from 60btdc to 1btdc-10btdc) so instead of spinning the internal trigger wheel I just removed the half moon key. You will find that the key is only for alignment, there is actually 8 grooved teeth that the cas rotates on, the reason people stuff up is they put it back in the wrong way after the tooth has snapped off.

As far as Im aware the cas is internally (trigger discs) the same from r32-r34, however the camshafts & alignment keys change or something similar rb20 & rb25 series 1 cas are the same other then the plug, they both have the half moon alignment key.

---------

The cas must be working fine & it would still spark and carry on if it was out of alignment. I think my earth cable might be too small so im going to try this tonight.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
