Ok driving around last night and car started running rough and then 1 loud backfire n that was it turned off and didnt start again.

It kicks over and over and over but nothing.

Things Iv tried...

Tried to restart...Nothing but seems to struggle...Starting starting then a miss starting starting miss

Unplug CAS starting smooth all the way through till I stop starting.

Plug CAS up Unplug coilpack loom (back of engine) same as the first one starting starting then a miss starting starting miss

Plug and unplug CAS and can hear the fuel/ticking of injectors.

I havnt looked for spark yet

ALl fuses are fine nothing blown

ECU faults came back 12 and 21 which is (12 AFM) and (21 Ignition Signal)

So my question is...Do you think my CAS is rooted?

I dont know many people here in town with Skylarks n shit so I got buckleys chances to try another b4 I buy.

CAS has been put back together without the cam gear timing cover on there and I once read somewhere that you should

space the CAS out to compensate for the cover NOT being there (I didnt do)

CAS doesnt have any slop in it, the shaft spins but not freely on its own but if you hold the shaft and spin the larger

part it spins fine.

If its CAS ill be sure to add in washers to conpensate for the loss of the cover not being there next time round.

Any input will be great thanks lads, like I said Im sure its CAS related. I dunno why the ECU is throwing in the AFM aswell

but if I find a cheap S2 AFM ill prolly grab it at the same time for peace of mind.

my mates CAS solved the problem.

Clearly if you plan on taking the cam cover off and leaving them off space them out with a small washer

to compensate for the lack of the cam cover.

Next thing to tackle...100k service.

Cheers for the help

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
