hey i got a r32 gtst wich hasnt been started for 4 years ive cleaned all the tank an put a new pump in as it wasnt working i no have fuel at the engine as i took one of the lines off but now it wont start i have good spark an the engine fires when i spray aero start in it, would it be the injectors are fk$d or could it be the CAS any help would be much appreciated cheers

Obviously a fuel problem if it starts with aero start.

Changed to fuel filter?

Did you connect up the fuel lines correctly when you put the pump cradle back in? Ie not reversed.

I'd start with that, make sure you getting fuel to the rail correctly before looking at the injectors. But yes, they could be blocked.

Do an oil change first as well if you haven't done so already.

Oh, you could also remove the CAS, switch the ignition on, rotate the CAS with your hand and listen to see if the injectors are firing. If they are, it's not a CAS issue.

You can disconnect the fuel pump remove a spark plug and rotate the CAS see if it gets a spark or not. If it does then its probably working. Hook up a fuel pressure gauge see if there is fuel pressure and check the fuel filter.

Yeah you'll still hear them firing even if the are blocked.

Another thing to try, is block the fuel return line with some clamps and then try starting.

Pull the CAS first and check the injectors are firing.

When your cranking it (without aero start), does it fire/cough at all? Or it just cranks?

If fuel is getting past the regulator then you have enough fuel to start the engine. Don't worry about a pressure gauge for now.

Do as suggested above and listen for the sound of the injectors while rotating the CAS with the ignition on. They will be fairly noticeable. If they don't pulse, get an LED test light or a noid light and test for injector pulse. If you have injector pulse, turn the ignition on, get a screw driver and LIGHTLY tap each injector while a mate rotates the CAS. If any of them start ticking after that, take them all out and get them cleaned and flowed

Just adding to that, if you use an LED to test injector pulse, note that you'll need a 12V LED or a 2-3V LED with a dropping resistor. Polarity dependent as well.

Injectors have constant 12V to one side of them.

Injectors drivers inside the ECU ground the other side of the injector.

Im having the same problem. Just put a rb20 in 32 rollin shell. It cranks over and sorta backfires alot but no start. i checked fuel to the rail and thats good. spark is good. First cas i had in it was oviiously f#@ked cause wen i put a spare one in it sounded more like it was gonna fire.first one was makin it sorta die. Ecu code 55 so thats all sweet. All earths seem sweet. Would a few blocked injectors cause wat ive explained or anything else i should check

The injectors will be gummed up, fairly common thing with them. If you have spark then you can rule the CAS out, remove the injectors from the intake but keep all the lines on, then crank the car with the rail removed and check they are working. You probably won't have to get new injectors, generally if you remove each injector from the rail, then gently tap on the injector body with a screw driver this is enough to get the pintle working again.

Then put each one back in the rail. I bought a brand new set of Nismo injectors a while back, had been sitting in there boxes for about 2 years, chucked them in the car but nothing was working. Removed them and tapped on the body, starting working again.

Cheers.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
