Neo Fuel Problem

Just finished putting an auto er34 rb25det into a manual hr31, wired it up and got it running yesterday. It started straight away and idles like a dream, except the ecu isn't putting in any extra fuel when pumping the throttle, making it UN-drivable.

I've been over the TPS wiring several times, its got power and at the ECU plug the signal wire reads .45v when closed and 4.0-4.1v at WOT so the ECU is getting the TPS signal and it's working as it should. As far as i know the TPS signal is the only thing the ECU uses for throttle pump injection so this has me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't be working and how to fix it? Possibly something I've missed in the wiring? Or is there something else than can cause the same symptoms (stabbing the throttle causes revs to drop until the ECU picks up the extra flow via the AFM) that I'm missing?

You need to get a consult connection going so you can see what's going on.

You're also going to need to Nistune it if you want to be able to get around the lack of traction control and ABS that the ECU expects to see. Otherwise it will throw codes about the TCS/ABS comms and the TCS throttle position sensor.

Consult isn't really possible at the moment unless I can find someone local with one, might have a scope around the WA section.

There was always going to be error codes but I was under the impression they wouldn't affect the actual running of the motor? I've taken it for a test drive and apart from this throttle hesitation it drives perfectly and doesn't have any cuts under full boost or anything.

Is it all still connected? If the ECU can't see the TCS TPS it'll have a fit.

The ECU still chucks a wobbly even if it is connected - if there is no TCS computer present to make the throttle do the close-open dance when the ignition is switched on. That's one of the error codes that comes up. Nistune can mask it.

And this stuff can still cause hassles even if you get past all these little annoyances. The Nistune blokes worked out that if you do not have the TCS stuff working, when you up the boost/flow and get up to a reasonably high power level, then the ECU starts pulling shenanigans that feels like a rev/boost limit, and can't be tuned out. It is possible that Stagea ECU images do not have that problem (as they do not use TCS).

Got it sorted, had the ECU boost sensor hooked up to the manifold, moved it to the intake and now it's running fine. Weird.....

That'll do it. I just checked my engine. That sensor is connected to the crossover pipe immediately adjacent to the BOV. I guess it is not supposed to see vacuum.

Spot on. It's very annoying :glare:

One of the wires was broken but it didn't make any difference.

Can u Please explain this a little more?

Had a 34 come in that had the same symptoms as urs after another mechanic did a headgasket. I had to disconnect the boost sensor to stop it trying to stall on takeoff. Such a simple little thing

It seams to not like seeing vacuum, so just make sure it's hooked up somewhere before the T/B and it should be fine.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Hi Jonno, i know its off topic but why did you get rid of your RB30DET and put a AUTO RB25DET neo into your HR31?

Sold the car to my younger brother, put a stocker neo (it's now manual) in for him and I'm selling my engine seperately along with a lot of other stuff.

ah cool . . . are you using the auto ECU that you got with the motor? could be causing issues if you are?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
