lukits01 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My car seems to be having some serious issues here Was driving to the drags one evening and it suddenly just stopped working (thank god it didnt happen on the drag strip) It refused to start even when my friend helped me to jump start it Towed it to the workshop and they told me they had spark but the injectors seems to be flooding the engine and the only thing they could think of is the ECU is ****ed. The workshop is going to be closed for the weekend so they said they'll test the ECU on monday Recently before the incident Ive been having problems starting the car sometimes I had to put some gas into it before it would crank over and also a few days before I had a bosch 910 installed without a FPR and exhaust cam gear set to 4Deg retard So any ideas? just incase it maters my car is a 1996 R33 Series II Auto Here's the list of mods I currently have S-AFCII Profec B boost controller Bosch 910 (no FPR) HKS Exhaust Cam gear Trust Cat-back SS high flow cat Front pipe Trust V-SPL intercooler Apexi Air Filter cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35704-engine-flooding-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

crooser Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 keep your foot away from the gas when trying to start it . could help true that. i had a similar prob. i manage to avoid it by giving the fuel pump a moment to prime before turning the key the last bit. works every time for me. no pedal.

lukits01 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Is it possible that my problem is caused by a dead CAS? or the FPR not being able to handle the larger fuel pump? has anyone ever had a problem like this?

IMACUL8 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I dont think you need a FPR... Could be stuffed injector stuck open... be carely that you havent filled you cylinder/s with fuel and may have compression locked your motor .... pull the dip stick out and check to see if it smells like fuel??? It s not a common thing - but it does happen, trust me ;-< Dan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35704-engine-flooding-problem/#findComment-778305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
4door_Sleeper Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Pump the throttle??? 1. efi cars are ment to be started with the foot off of the throttle 2. would pumping the throttle actually do anything?? - its not like an old carby that opens up secondary squirters when pumped. 3. when you said you had a pump installed without a FPR, do you mean you removed the standatd/afrermarket FPR on the fuel reguator? if so why?? 4. This may not explain why it flooded, but it indicates a few problems.

lukits01 Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 well it wont start with or without throttle and the standard FPR is still there When I installed the fuel pump my workshop said it might blow the standard FPR because of overpressure. How does that make sense? doesnt the FPR control the pressure? IMACUL8: checked out that possibility as well but its not compression lock but havent checked the injectors though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/35704-engine-flooding-problem/#findComment-778843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind_elk Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 If the engine is "flooded", you need to try and start with the "pedal to the metal" - this is to allow as much air as possible in to help ignite the fuel. DO NOT pump the throttle - that only adds "acceleration" fuel, and worsens the situation. If the CAS was crook, you would not have spark. I have been running the standard FPR in my 32 with a Bosch pump, and no problems encountered for nearly 2 years. Can you hear the injectors working when trying to start the engine? You are probably going to have to pull the injectors, so arrange to get them cleaned while they are out.

lukits01 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Does anyone know if the CAS from CA18, SR20, RB25Neo, and RB26 are all the same as the R33 RB25DET?

lukits01 Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 BACK ON THE ROAD! turns out the CAS was electronically alive but mechanically dead! and the little stick at the end of the cam shaft had snapped oh well got HKS 256 in there now when the engine is warm the cams are kinna noisy is this normal?
