hey guys,

So my problem started with a dead coil. Replaced with yellow jackets and its a bit better, but still not 100%

Any ideas? Is there anything additional i have to do to get them to work? Idles a bit.. chuggy. It shakes a bit like its misfiring but it dosnt feel like its that bad?

Also the engine light is no longer on, so thats a start..

Please help me, i just busted my balls taking that damn thing apart and im really frustrated.

drawing from my vast array of knowledge....little,car should run fine with stock ecu.but if you do get tuneable ecu you will get the best out of better induction,spark,airflow yada yada.i'm tryin to help ya but i aints got much knowhow just yet.hopefully one of the uber brains on here will help with diagnosis.:thumbsup: sorry maybe not induction(see i said i aint gots the smarts)insert yokel laugh here.

Yeah im not sure my self. Im running stock ECU, Is that alright? Its an N/A also.

I might have to get the mechanic to have a look at it.. domokun.gif

a good auto sparky may be of service too.

Leads in a coil over spark system?

Check your plugs, probably wouldnt hurt to replace them, reset the ECU (Unplug battery and hold brake down for a bit then plug it back in... Should only do this with a stock ECU) Clean AFM, give everything a good check over etc

looks like he has an r34. so no ignitor. it's built in to the coilpacks isnt it?

i'd check the wiring harness that plugs into your coil packs. make sure it's all good... as well as check / replace your spark plugs etc.

+1 if the looms/wiring are hard and stiff, there's a likely problem. Should be supple and flexible - opposite to a Fap.

Checked the coils, tightened them up and checked loom.. It looks alright..

Dunno what it could be! :(

As a few ppl have said - change the plugs. Its simple and cheap, so its the most sensible next step. Post up photos of the plug tips so we can have a look.

Also make sure the crank angle sensor hasn't moved. If the timing is way out it will be rough.

The who what? How?

Plugs were changed about 3 weeks ago also btw.. they should be alright pirate.gif

He probably means the cam angle sensor - its the round thing with 3 bolts holding it on at the front, just to the right of the RB25 logo on the cam sprocket cover. You need a timing light to check it.

Have you located the misfiring cylinder? Have you moved the coilpack then spark plug to see if the missfire follows?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
