There may have been water in the fuel, this usually is only a problem if you are filling up while a truck is filling the tanks (the fresh petrol lifts and mixes all the water and sediment in the tank) or when the tanks become very low. I would recommend draining your tank into a few 20l drums and after leaving it to sit for a little while looking for "different levels" in the fuel indicating water.

But this also sounds like a problem i had with mine which turned out to just be a loose / dirty afm plug.

What does it do above 2000 rpm? or does it just not reach it? if it doesnt reach anything over 2500 i would sy check your afm connections and give the element itself a clean using co cleaner or maf cleaner.

I limped home and went and saw my neighbour whos a mechanic. I thought maybe an air leak at first or dirty fuel,

I suspected fuel at first but it didnt matter what gear you were in even neutral & revving it it wouldnt go past 2000rpm. I started to think my ecu with is a z32 with nistune was causing it.

Anyway i started the car up with the mechanicunder the bonnet and it wasnt doing it anymore.. WTF?

So i am at a loss what caused it and I have since driven 40k's or so no problems. I do have an existing problem with my idle revving highr somethimes upto 2000rpm so it may be a sympton of this maybe I dont know...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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

      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

      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.
