This weekend I changed out the injectors to other stocks one since I was having leak by causing misfire and high EGT. I swapped out the injectors and also while under I double checked all connections.

I went to start the car and it wouldn't start, but it did turned over, dumbfounded I found that the CAS sensor had come unplugged even though I didn't touch it (Damn elves...) anyways I put it in and it started up but I instantly noticed the misfiring and the lack of power. Could this be the main issue?

Car will not boost and it feels like I am driving an NA, I looked over all the hoses for a leak checked the PCV system and cannot find anything. I have a power FC and checked the sensors and the AFMs are showing roughly the same Volts and did a check on those, TPS is sitting at .5V and I'm pulling 20 deg at idle, checked injectors

I check everything and still scratching head, but all help is needed. Right now I need my car on Sat night/Sun Morning but let me know if you can help.

Copy all. That was the thing I was looking at the TPS. Now how would I go about reseting it? I know that the idle voltage should be .5V, but is there anything else I should look at with the TPS.

For the CAS, with my Power FC I'm sitting at +20 deg at idle, but I can advance the timing to 25 and it will smooth it out, I had checked the plugs and they were gapped correctly so I think it might be the CAS as the engine cranked but the CAS was unplugged...damn engine elves...

I'm at work but I will check it out today.

They were second hand out of a running GTR my friend has. He upgraded his and I was there when he pulled them. The car ran fine with them and we just switched them over.

Tried to start it again today and it was still misfiring. Pulled the injector harness for each one to ensuring firing and all cylinders are firing...

Okay, after one cigarette (I don't smoke) and a redbull I cracked into it...and I found that number two injector was dead, like whitney houston dead. Swapped that out and I am still getting misfires, but ran better. Tomorrow I'm going to check the coilpacks and see if one popped on me. Also the sparkies too. Got to love this though. I'm driving around my car sounds like a boxster... :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
