Have a bit of issue with my cold start.

It starts low revs turns off , next start fires up fine.

This only happen when its cold, i cleaned aac valve and check for air leaks.

If i disconnect aac all together , brown and purple plug makes no diff to start.

Any ideas , could aac valve be gone?

You'll see it ontop of in the intake side of the plenum towards the front. It has a yellow warning stick saying NEVER OPEN WHEN HOT. I don't think that will have any effect. My old car done EXACTLY the same thing, cold morning starts it would crank start then die after a couple of seconds unless I blip the throttle. The problem went away as soon as I fitted my power fc. I never found out what the problem was though.

Its not likely to be the AAC valve faulty as with a Power FC this issue is non existant.

mate, just check your fuel pressure regulator. disconnect tiny vac hose connect to the plenum and start the car. see any change. if it starts fine it's your fuel pressure regulator. what happen was your cold morning enrichment was very lean. then change your pressure regulator.

make sure to put it back tiny vac hose b4 you driving. let me know how u go.

Thanx , it is weird car warm and starts fine idle fine. I changed spark olugs, coils are new, fuel filter,checked afm,new collant sensor but i did not try bleeding coolant , will see how i go . I hope it fixes it

i'm having this problem nearly 1 year[r33 s2]. not solve yet. what i found was i'm loosing fuel pressure when car stops for a wile. after 10-15 hrs car stops pressure completely loose in injector rail. i checked with pressure gauge. i'm waiting for my new fpr.

if u can try to clean your injectors.[remove and take it to inj cleaning place.] if u are in sydney let me know i will do it 4 u free.

Tried fpr and same thing, also bleed coolant and also no help. Im stumped to what it is.

Anymore suggestions?

yes i am a mechanic. it cant be fuel pump. i already change the pump. but no luck.

this cold start issued caused lot of things.

chk ur earth points,batt voltage, spark plug heat range+gap , vac leaks etc.

if above all ok chk ur fuel pressure with pressure gauge. see what happen to ur pressure in cold mornings or after long stay start.

pm ur no will call u.

Could it be fuel pump? Are you mech or just know someone that does fuel injector cleaning. Yes im in sydney

Its your injectors, they are leaking when it gets cold. If you want to check this, prime the fuel pump 5 times before you crank the car (when its a cold start, if its warm the fuel will just vaporize). Your car will start up and run rougher than usual and stall faster.

You can also check this by pulling your injector rail out and pull the electrical plugs on them and prime the pump and you will see them drip fuel.

The fuel we have in australia has probably wrecked the injectors. You can get them cleaned but its about $200 and you run the risk of it doing nothing as they could be damaged. A set from JECS which are the genuine nissan ones cost less when you buy them from USA online than Nissan selling them to you. Its less then $600 too your door for the 'Genuine ones', or maybe its time to upgrade them.

Yes this has happened to my car, i just know that its injectors because if it were a sensor the problem would be intermitant where as our was just on start up and the fuel was vapourised on the first few cranks leaving the 2nd start up to not run a lumpy rich start.

*NOTE if you have seen car run a RICH map they run the same but constantly so that how i knew it was fuel related

My car had the same issue as him, why did the problem completely go away when I fitted a power FC?

Hmm not sure . Is aac valve allways adjusting idle? If i unplug it while car runs nothing changes

Turn your air conditioner on, that tells the AAC to let more air in to raise the idle and keep the car on. If nothing happens then, could be your AAC. But mind you, my car did do EXACTLY what you are saying here, it starts cold first time spluters and revs just die out. As soon as we fitted a power FC the problem is gone.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      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.
