Realy need help miss my beast so much. One day my car just wouldnt turn over, the car cranks but wont fire, all lights are on and looks fine on dash. have tried the follwing.

1. tried jump starting - not working just cranks not firing.

2.checked the fuel pump,removed it and its working,its priming when you try start it - but weirdly checking for flow i , removed the fuel line that goes to the injectors and fuel was not coming out when was trying to start it , but we have tried to manually pump fuel into the manifold from a container but still wont fire.

3.checked all the fuses and relays all look fine.

4.did a spark check and therz spark.

I need help to check the following stuff, i think it might be 1.ecu , 2.airflow meter 3.crank angle sensor.

please any ideas would be usefull or even a commendable mechanic,or import garage around the Melbourne S.E

so the fuel pump is priming but there is no fuel coming out after the fuel filter ?

the pump is either dead or the filter is blocked, also check the quality of the fuel in a clear container

2.checked the fuel pump, removed it and its working, its priming when you try start it - but weirdly checking for flow, i removed the fuel line that goes to the injectors and fuel was not coming out when was trying to start it, but we have tried to manually pump fuel into the manifold from a container but still wont fire.

So, is fuel being pumped or not? As DVS32R suggested, the filter could be blocked (well and truly!).

No point having fuses "look ok". You need to check them with a multimeter (ohms setting) to be absolutely sure. If you are getting spark, then the CAS is ok.

And "turn over" and "crank" are the same thing.

yeah fuel pump definitely working coz i took it out and tested it myself , yeah that's a good idea will check the fuel filter tomorrow,, any other ideas or mechanics / garages to take it please. I don't want to get the car towed to a garage where they wont be able to fix it, therefore would prefer garages that deal with imports, as we all know towing is nuesense

checked the fuel filter def not blocked , its flowing well, the fuel filter is also less than 3months old.... i dont know most probably fuel pump not getting enough voltage it requires, is there anyone with an idea how much voltage/amps i should get on the multimeter for the fuel pump.

Minimum 12v hopefully. If it primes it Is

Pumping. Check that fuel is

Coming out the fuel filter by turning the key on or cranking with the outlet ofthe fuel filter into a clear bottle.

Check the fuel doesnt have water contamination etc.

if ur not sure get a long bit of wire good idea with a fuse and power up the pump with a jump lead from power to the pump if need me. if there is no power of fuel getting to the injectors there is ur problem, have u ever had the injectors cleaned...have u check coilpacks??

motor needs, power, fuel and spark to start check them all first

Guys any ideas please DVSR32R thank you very much for ongoing support, i have tried to crank the car with fuel outlet into a clear bottle, really weird but honestly therz no fuel coming out,so iam thinking may be fuel pump not having enough power to deliver fuel at sufficient pressure.therefore wanted to ask if its possible to check the voltage goin to the fuel pump by checking the voltage going to the fuel pump on its fuse? i know its also possible to do that on its relay , but relay terminals confuse me a bit..... am also queering injectors, any ideas how to check injectors for (power + flow) ? thanks everyone

are you certain you are checking for flow at the right fuel hose? you need the one that does not connect to the fuel pressure regulator, ie the one with the filter in it. where are you disconnecting the fuel hose to check?

Yep thats right.

Check battery voltage,

Then check fuel pump voltage At the pump itself. Should be similar to batt volts

U have had the fuel pump out. Check to nake sure the 2 hoses were put back on the correct way around.

Take the fuel line off before the filter and check the flow see if its any better. If its no good get a new fuel pump

It's still unclear whether or not you have fuel, and when.

With fuel line disconnected after the fuel filter, what happens when:

- turn key to ON?

- turn key to START?

can it be a the ignitor thats gone?? even though i got spark ? also were do i find the earth , just going through everything at the moment , replaced fuel pump, now got fuel flowing still not firing, any electrics that can cause car not to fire?

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
