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:

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
