i have a rb20det it doenst have injector pulse on cyclinders 1,3,5. i have changed the ecu over with another ecu that works made no differance at all i have allso test all the injector wires back to the ecu pins and they are fine. what can it be?????? i did notice that the injectors have power running to them all the time even when the cars switched off is that ment to happen?

The injectors should only have power while the ignition is on.

If they have power all the time then either the injectors have burnt out internally or there is a problem with your main loom powers/earths.

Check the main power wires, they run around the base of the strut tower on the turbo side and up to a large rectangle plug beside the power steering res. Make sure nothing is melted/grounded/joined to another wire.

If you have a 12v power connected to the trigger wire, you'll still get continuity back to the ECU but you'll get constant power at that wire which means the injector will not pulse

try tap the injectors with a screwdriver or something mine did this all fixed now .......has the car been sitting for a while?also as mentioned previously make sure you loom is in good working order i had abodgey loom keept pumping fuel hydrulic my motor !!!

yeah ive checked them seems to be fine but must be brocken some where. so what ur saying is if there gettin power all the time it wont be able to pulse there for the injectors wont work. all so its geting power to ALL injectors all the time but only cylinders 1,3,5 dont have a pulse?

allso car starts but only runs on 3cyclinders if that helps

the only way to stop the power goin to the injectors when the car is switched off is when u take the 25amp engine controll fuse out thats in the bonnit or take the ecu out

Well have you checked if you have 12v with ignition on to one side of each injector? If not then you have a break in the harness on the power side of the injector harness. If you do then you need to trace each pin on the other side of each injector back to the ecu. And if you do and that all checks out then it just leaves a dead injector driver on the ecu board then.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
