Help! Idling/Ignition troubles

I'm just about stumped. I have timing set at the proper marks, I have spark at all six plugs, and I definately have fuel. The ECU is reading a '55' on every diagnostic, my ignitor, my afm, and my CAS work in my friends RB20DET just fine.

I have cleaned out the AAC valve and can't find any vacuum leaks.

The only indications I get of any problems are that my car will not idle higher than a few hundred RPM and all 6 of my plugs foul up really quick. I have checked the ignition and CAS harnesses from the ECU and they check out good, so no breaks in the harnesses.

I'm starting to grasp at straws, I'm going to ohm out the AFM harness in the morning and work from there. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? I'm going nuts.

Thanks for any input,

-Matt

Your components work on your friend's engine, do his components cause the same problems on your engine?

What is the fuel pressure?

Have you had the injectors cleaned?

Check the water temp sensor (disconnect it - does anything change?). Swap it with your friend's.

Check the Air Regulator (under the throttle body)

I know it has to be something stupid, we performed a cam swap and of course had to remove several vacuum lines and sensor harnesses to tear down the top end. After the swap I get no idle and plug fouling on all 6. I'll recheck fuel pressure and look at the air reg and do some more component swaps.

Thanks,

i have similar issue, but opposite - my r33 run lean on idle and stalls

i even disconnected the CAS and injectors and AFM and my ECU read 55.. so it obviously doesn't tell you too much!

are you running standard ECU with those cams? are they standard cams or larger ones?

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
