R33 Gts Hydralic Lock After Injectors Cleaned

as the title says i got my injectors cleaned by a mechanic on the central coast and now whenever i go to start the car after putting the rail back in the car hydralicly locks up and wont crank.

the ideas myself and some friends have come up with are as follows:

> bad spark plugs

> bad fuel pressure regulator

> bad injector that is stuck open

> ecu having issues for no particular reason

> crank angle thingy is set too rich

i know how to check my spark plugs, fuel pressure regulator, the ecu and crank angle but the electrics of the injector have got me stumped.

ive removed and reinstalled my fuel rail twice and i cant figure out how a wire would be shorting making them stay open. anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this or any other ideas as to what can be causing it.

cheers.

take the spark plugs out, unplug the crank angle sensor (to stop the injectors firing) and turn the car over (may pay to put a rag over the spark plug valley to stop any fluid going everywhere). if fluid does come out, see whether it is fuel or coolant.

if it is coolant, then you have a blown head gasket. if it is fuel then i'd say you have a shagged O ring on one of the injectors. did you replace them before you put the injectors back in?

I'd guess at sticky injector holding open. Maybe the pintle got damaged during the process and is sticking open.

I agree with the above as to how to diagnose the cylinder. Work out which cylinder it is

(and if it is fuel), providing it is fuel, remove the injector and change it to a new cylinder, see if the problem moves with the injector. If yes, injector rooted, if no you obviously have another issue (electrical)

Good luck!

not sure if this will make me or the mechanic sound stupid but if i remember correctly the pintles are the little caps which go on the ends of the injectors? the mechanic who did the injector cleaning said that the pintles wernt needed so he didnt bother putting any on. would the lack of pintles be causing the injectors to flood the cylinders. and what tool should i use out of my basic as f*ck toolbox to pull injectors out of the rails?

Thats the pintle caps he would talking about. They protect the pintle from getting damaged and help prevent fowling up on the injector tip

The injector should just pull out of the rail once removed or if a different type will have a clip that slides around the injector to lock it in place. You can remove it with any pliers.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
