Hi all.

Just wanna know what limp home mode does to your engine.

I know it limits revs to about 2500 I found that out through searching for answers.

Will it cut cylinders?

3 and 5 aren't firing I have changed coils around changed plugs and tries new ignitor.

Also tested all wiring from ecu to coils and all were good.

Cheers.

Check with an led test light that the coilpack is getting a signal. Use the led light on the signal wire and the clip end to power and it should pulse the led test light. If it doesnt check the same wire but before the ignitor. If there is still no pulse check the same wire but at the ecu. If there is still no Pulse try another ecu

there is no limp home mode

there is backup operational modes for sensors that fail, but not a single "limp" mode

ie, if the AFM fails the REV limit is set to 2500rpm

each sensor has its own set of defined backup operational modes

not one mode suits all failures

when did your problem start

what has changed before it started

Problem started about 5 weeks ago and I have been slowly working it out as I'm a shift worker and had no time. Thought I could be afm's but when I replaced them it was the same. Then checked over all piping and that was good. So I started to play with the coil packs and noticed that I can unplug 3 and 5 with no effect to the engine revs

its good thats its doing it at idle, makes it much easier to diagnose, pull the spark plugs out and check there condition especially the dud cylinders, might have a crack in the porcelain etc, need to check them and post up some pics, keep them in order but

have you tried testing your injectors from 3 and 5?

reason is that i had similar problem with no.3 didnt fire had checked my coil pack and igniter and no luck.

i unplugged the connector from the injector and show no difference with the engine revs.

so i took no.3 and switch it with no.1 and no.3 was fine while no.1 played up. turns out injector 3 was the problem

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
