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 haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
