since my last post i have determined its cylinder 5 not firing ive checked the coils and the plugs and there fine. as im an electrician not a mechanic i took it to one he checked the same and the injectors again all good but determined the coil plug was not getting enough voltage on the primary side??? i was also told it was supposed to be 2.5kv?? i dont know of a mutli-meter that tests this high? but was assured it was not jumping to the block when they tried to get it to. and to take it to an auto electrician. so i was wondering if any one had a wiring diagram that i could use to try and find the fault or any ideas on what it could be??? or more on how it works to assit me fixing the problem

cheers

ok so i pulled the computer out the other night to see if i could run a self diagnostic, could quit figure out if my ecu had leds to flash codes so i gave up on that. i had the computer siting on me passengers floor still and i started seemed to be running on all six again so as i jumped out of the car i closed the door causing the cylinder to drop out momentarily so i went and taped the wiring loom going to the ecu each time causing a cylinder to drop out, i the proceeded to try to find out which wire was causing the assumed bad connection with no luck and what seemed to be multiple cylinders to drop put!!! keep fiddling and got all to come back but stil unsure which wire repeated this process a number of time and still no result!?

can doing this somehow damage something or confuse the computer???? as it would be registering fault codes on the ecu wouldnt it?

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
