so everythings hooked up

I have

Spark'

Fuel

Air

compression 140-150 (cold comp test) across all 6

but the car wont start it cranks over and pops out the pod but doesnt run

I have brand new coil packs and spark plugs

20L of brand new 95 fuel with octane booster so 105ron

only thing I can think of is the advanced timing on the cas is out any ideas

engine is a rb25det neo in an r32 with lots of bolt ons

should be able to run without the CAS plugged in, should just show engine light, but your bolt on's might be the problem. have you checked everything is in 100% working order? when i did a conversion i found out that my injectors werent getting enough juice so was starving on fuel, still got bit of fuel, but not enough to run.

coilpacks get enough voltage??? or even putting out enough for a big enough spark?

Weird ive always been told you have to have the cas plugged in to start

my injectors are the stock neo injectors in a greedy plenum with a top feed fuel rail and then a tomei fpr the spark plugs are covered in fuel when I take them out so don't think thats the issue but could be wrong

I have brand new plugs gapped at 0.8mm with dsr coils and have pulled each one out and checked the spark it seems fine to me

maybe my injectors arent mounted properly I had issue when fitting them will look again

Unless the engine is seriously modified, it shouldn't need a 0.8 spark gap. Try opening the gap out a bit, maybe 1mm.

If the plugs are coming out "wet", then it is obvious fuel is getting into the cylinders. Make sure you dry them off before re-fitting them.

Try starting with a bit of throttle - let some air in to match the apparent additional fuel. Also, try starting while slowly adjusting the CAS (if you suspect the CAS might be mis-adjusted).

Have you checked the fuel pressure that the fpr is delivering?

I'm having a similar problem on my series 1 rb25 in my r32. Everything is good such as fuel, spark and compression and timing. But all It does is back fire when I try and start it. A mechanic suggested the battery might not be good enough. I trickle charged it for 24 hours but still no go. The battery is about 5 years old though and has been relocated to the boot

Is say its coil pack related. Have u teasted spark?? Checked the fuel is flowing? Theres a trick with twisting the cas whilst ignition is on to hear ur inj firing. I had fuel lines wrong way round once, obviously didnt fire

yep i have spark on all 6, and good compression on all 6. got a new battery cos the one i had wasnt the best. It sounds a lot better and closer to starting now, but its just not getting there. all injectors are working and tested and i have my fuel lines around the right way.

starting to get frustrated :(

Spoke to my mechanic poping out the pod filter is timing out and poping out the exhaughst is tuning eg unburnt petrol hitting the hot exhaughst he had an mr2 with the problem and actually showed me it was actually intresting

well i got my car to start just now. I turned the CAS pin 90 degrees cranked and she fired right up. Now onto the next problem. when i start it it just revs up hard with out my pushing the pedal at all. I loosened the throttle cable so its loose but it still keeps doing it. Any ideas?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
