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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
