i went to start my car yesterday and it wouldnt start, everything works ok it just wont kick over, its getting power and what not, but no luck! Also when my car was running i was having a bit of power loss and popping through 2nd and 3rd after about 5000rpm and slightly in between gear changes, i was told my Crank Angle Sensor could b stuffed. Any help would b greatly appreciated, as i couldnt b a mechanics @$$HOLE.

Cheers :D

How'd you get it started in the end? If its lack of power I would be pointing at the altenator, not recharging your batt, easy way to test is when the car is running you should be getting around 14.2V to the battery. That will rule out the alt, check the battery with a battery tester (hydrometer) and see if thats the problem, if not then see your mech.

What did the sparky do?

Take it back to basics - what are the reasons an engine won't start?

1. No fuel.

Are you sure the fuel pump is working? Working at 'switch to ON' (priming)? Working during cranking? Are the injectors opening?

2. No spark.

Are you sure the coilpacks are firing? Are the sparkplugs OK? Is the CAS connected properly and sending a signal to the ECU?

3. No compression.

Is the engine cranking evenly?

4. Worst case - you haven't broken the cambelt?

spark plugs ok, but i think its the actual coil packs themselves!

The sparky came over, went straight to the fuel lines b4 all else and disconnected it and got me to put ignition on while he washed my engine bay in petrol!! POF!

Its @ UPI now i bet my nutsacks ill be driving it this time 2moro!!

Ill let yas know what it was!

LOL i know, were hoping immobiliser, but, when i was going thru the car myself, i noticed my vacuum hoses from the boost controller to the wastegate were cracked, apparently i was running too much boost and instead of making power i was losing?!?! Plus i think my plugs need to be gapped a bit more!

Cheers

    • 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.
