Help With Starting R32 Gtr? Anyone Got Consult/etalk And Can Help Me Dx My R32 Gtr


Recommended Posts

I cant get the damn car to produce spark. Everything else seems to be working.

And I've lost my consult cable in the move. And the software.

If anyone has something they can lend or a spare half hour with me, please PM me.

I'm at my effin wits end.

I'm in Latham, Belconnen.

I also have a borescope Im happy to cart around and help people dx their engine, fits easily inside the spark plugs. I have 50 thou oversize pistons, I read the markings :) Just wish I could find that 12mm socket I dropped under the plenum - didnt fall out and Im buggered if I can find it.

sorry mate - I dont have one.

What have you checked so far that may be prohibiting spark ?

Fuses - especially main fuse in engine bay. Resistors ?

Ignitor - swap over with a known good one. Make certain it is grounded.

ECU

Battery - how dead is it

If you have been working on it check your wiring is connected correctly - as in secure.

Oh and lastly - do you have an immobiliser alarm? - Sillier things have happend to others hence the question.

Can anyone else help with a consult cable?

Fixed,

Pulled everything electrical apart, cleaned all the terminals, put it back together, she's running.... :)

Not bad after 18 months on the blocks. Needs tuning, oil, coolant, and power steering fluid.

I prefer to run it at idle for 10 minutes stir up the fluids, then drain/replace. Otherwise the sludge stays on the bottom of the sump/engine.

once i get the fluids done I might PM you mitcho. Thanks

I agree John, but I also reccomend using engine flush - 15 mins on idle with this in, then drain. Repalce filter and oil.

Yes it does work and no it doesn't cause damage. I used it in the prelude last week, awesome...

Great news you have it running.

Must be like a kid in a candy shop.

Bet you can't wait to tune and drive :D

Ah cool i was wondering if that car belonged to someone on here, drive past nearly everyday lol. if it happens again check/clean the relays next to the ecu in the passenger footwell. if you need a hand just pm me, im in florey so only around the corner

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
