Alright guys I have a major eff up problem here

This morning I turned the ignition on .. after 3-4 seconds the car didn't start but did a boom from the exhaust and didn't start after that after several tries.

I don't really know what has happened. Car had very less fuel , just over E ( may be 3-4 litres) .

Car has Walbro fuel pump ( thats what previous owner said)

What I;ve done so far

- Filled more petrol ( another 5 Litres using a jerry can)

- Changed the fuel filter

- Tried jump start

Sevral tries but no luck. Car behaves so rude!

After a long self car starts for a fraction of second and dies.

- Cleaned AFM ( haven't put it yet)

Do I have to bleed ? my mate said it could be air. becuase I had less fuel and the car has air in the fuel line or something ?

any idea ?

What my car has?

- Front Mount intercooler

- Blow off valve

- Pod filter intake

- Spitfire coilpacks

- NGK spark plugs

- Cusco Catch Can

- Custom made throttle body

- Boost controller (manual)

- 3" kakimoto Exhaust (jasma)

- Tuned Ecu

14psi boost and car's having a 330hp on wheels (tuned in sydney)

any help guys ?

thanks in advance

I don't really know

I think it was due to injectors fueling more , needs to be tuned is it?

well it was changed in Aug 2011 by previous owner.

rust because there was water on the block ( the guy didnt use this car for a long time and then finally sold it)

does anyone know how to fix the injectors ? its running rich atm

If the ECU was tuned for the atmo BOV, then it might make things worse putting the stock one back on (re-circulating type).

What kind of "tuned" ECU? The cold start might need tweaking, especially if it was tuned in the warmer seasons or you live in a area which is cooler than where the owner lived.

Thanks man

I am not sure what did he do to it.

It was okay in summer and since the winter started its having hard time starting in the morning.

ECU I checked its a nissan standard one I think its re-mapped. I live in Melbourne and car came from Sydney ( my mate bought it )

Also fuel economy on this one is sh*T

whole tank would do about 280-300 max .

:wacko:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
