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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
