Need help! I was driving and the car shut off. All lights are on and crank and cams are moving. I have changed the crank sensor and ignition amp. I can not hear the fuel pump run but it is getting fuel. I have ohm check the coil packs and are good. I have not check the ecu code yet. Can anyone help? Thanks, Trev

same goes for mine, i got told it could b the crank angle sensor or the igniter module,

Can an Auto Electrician, diagnose what it is for me?

Buying a CAS and/or igniter seems a little bit pricey if it turns out i dont need them!

Cheers

Was not the CAS of igniter. I tryed coilpacks, coilpack harness, AFM, all the ign relay, shot wires, and fuel pump because, I can not hear it prime the system. I have checked the vac. lines and fuses. Going have it towed to garage that a friend toke his GTS-4 too.

I had a cann car to get parts from to troubleshot mine.

lots of stuff changed huh, easier way to check if it was getter fuel would have been disconnect the fuel line goin into the rail and ignition on or crank whichever it needs to get the fuel to come out, SOME systems dont actually prime up on ignition on and require the car to be cranked to get the fuel feed up. Checking coil packs was a little bit of a waste of time cos it will still run if one drops out, just like a dog. But see how u go at the mechanics. Update when u know champ

I will keep all up to date on what I or the garage finds out.

On another note, the car is getting fuel. Tryed the popping the line of and filled the can quickly. My friend and I found there was 2 volts coming out of the igniter amp (the one on the coilpack cover). I am going (I hope!) another igniter amp today. I do not like giving up. Thanks for support!

The car will start with no AFM attached, so it's not necessary to check at all.

How can you be sure it's getting fuel if you can't hear the fuel pump? When you switch the car to "ON" without starting, you should hear the pump prime. If there is nothing, then the pump isn't pumping. You will have fuel in the lines already even with no fuel pressure, so d/c the line and seeing fuel is no way to tell. Get a friend to stick his head in the boot when you switch the car on, he should definitely hear it prime from there. Even the quietest pump will be audible from there (turn your damned stereo off! :D)

You've said there is no spark, well that's definitely one cause of it not starting whether or not the fuel pump is working. If it's not the igniter or CAS, then it could be the ECU not telling the igniter to fire. Try checking all wiring connections and maybe swapping ECU's with a known working one.

You may be getting fuel to the other end but if you don't hear it prime the system then the system won't be pressurised.

Maybe the fuel pump dies as soon as it gets a little bit of load on it.

I can hear my 32 pump prime almost every time I flick the key. Wait a minute or so between priming otherwise the pressure will be there and it wont prime because it doesn't have to.

The gas tank is not getting pressured (taking off the gas cap).

So whats this mean?

Had the auto elec around today on mine but no luck didnt find out what it was, gonna hunt down a CAS & Igniter module.

Trev do u have any interceptors/piggyback comps. hooked up 2 ur computer?

I have an SAFC & ITC these couldnt b causing the problem?

My gas cap for my gas tank is not vented. It helps the pump run with less stress. My tank is not get pressured. I do not know if, the pump is crapped out, the car will not start as a safety reason not to run the car too lean and kill the engine. :Bang:

Fuel is coming of the fuel line but, no audio from the fuel pump. I have alway been able to hear it and get the 5-second prime. My fuel mileage was very good before it stopped running. I had to fill-up once a week. It is quiter than my gt-r pump I had it there. :hellpisd: :cuss:

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
