Hi Guys,

Just seeing if anyone has had a similar issue.... Ive had this car for about 6 months and have had on going starting issues. Ill put a list of mods done so you can get a basic idea.

-GT3582r

-External Gate

-Haltech plug and play platinum

-Sard 1000CC injectors

-300l/hr fuel pump

The issue is it wont start at all when cold some times and if it does/when it does it misfires quite bad till its warm. Ive used a snapon Spark tester and it has spark and definably has fuel as it smells soooo fuely. It will also make a massive backfire if i keep cranking it when it doesn't start. The timing is 100%. The car made 290Kw on 15psi with no issues.

Ive tried replacing the CAS - ECU - Plugs - and Ignition module.

Im stuck for idea's. Only thing i haven't replaced is the coils but i'm sure that wouldn't cause it to not start completely.

Any help would be amazing....

Cheers

Jacob

More like: People going full aftermarket ECU's that don't have Nissan Cold Start in them, then tuners not spending proper time on Cold Start correctly.

Tuning the car for power is the easy part, most tuners tend to just start off with a rough base type map, and adjust from there.

It's getting the economy, cold start, return to idle, A/C load etc etc all takes a bit more than a couple of hours, and this is why good tunes actually cost a reasonable amount of money.

Could also be the wrong plugs in the car as well.

Side question, why only 290rwkw @ 15psi? Whole lotta lag for the power. You'd be better off with a 3076 and picking heaps more in the midrange.

The ecu was tuned by rick at cmr. I believe the cold start map.is fine because it's a intimitant problem. One minute it starts fine and then it won't start at all the next. We were going to tune for more power but its only got standard coils and a standard cooler letting it down. It's got me f**ked. Have put a standard ecu in and it's had the same issue. Got me f**ked.

Can't believe anybody mentioned coolant temp sensor or plug/wiring faulty. Check this before anything else, especially if its an intermittent fault.

Edit: Sorry, missed the part about weak spark. If coils are standard, they could be at fault too.. Greater load on them during cold start.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
