Hey guys

Took out the powerFC I had in the car and put the stock ECU back in. Car started for about 1 second and then stopped. When I tried to start it again it cranks but doesn't fire up.

I had a look in the fuse box under the dash and the "aircon" (エアコン) 10A fuse was blown, I replaced this, tried to start and the same thing happened - it started for 1-2 seconds then died, after that it sounds like it is turning over but wont start up.

No other fuses I can see are blown at all.

Only mods are the pod filter and FMIC, nothing else has changed except for me taking the powerfc out and putting the stock ecu back.

what AFM are you using

stock AFM - sorry I forgot to mention, its a S2 r33 gtst

any ideas what that fuse actually hooks up with so I can check it? The climate control unit comes on when switched to ACC and when i press A/C I can hear the relay in the engine compartment click but nothing else happens. Hard to imagine anything wouldve fried when all that changed was the ecu

Its weird that your AC fuse is popping. Ensure your AC is off before you try start it up. Is this the stock ECU from YOUR car or did you buy it? I'm sure if you check up the numbers on the ECU against a R33 Series 2 Manual GTST on the net you can confirm if the ECU is the right one for your car.

i had an issue when i put an emanage ultimate into a mates 33. it wouldn't start. put the stock ecu back in and it would start. turns out it was the loom not quite plugging in right (dispite looking like it was it, some pins just weren't making contact). i pushed on the plug a bit and it started first go

I had this same problem, just because the bolt is wound right in and the plugs looks ok doesn't mean it actually is in all the way.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
