V35 250Gt Fuel Pump Issue

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure out what's happening with my 2002 250GT and so far this is what I've been able to find using the NDS2 software.

Fuel pressure reads about 6.8 - 7.0 at idle to 10.3 at WOT. When I disable the fuel pump, let the pressure drop then enable it again, there's a whirring noise like a stuck bearing as the pressure builds up.

I'm assuming this is the high pressure fuel pump, although it isn't really specified (there's only 1 'Fuel Pump').

Has anyone else experienced this before? And if it is my high pressure pump, any idea what the issue may be?

Cheers

Hi guys

I have a 2002 250GT V35 skyline, last week i took it for diagnostic cause the CEL came on and the results were as follows:

1. PO191 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

2. Mass or Volume Air flow Circuit

3. Knock sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1)

When i drove the car back home, there was no power in it at all, it would only get up to about 20 or 30kms/hr.

I changed the Airflow sensor and she seems to run a little better but there is no power in it, when i reach around 3000rpms she starts jerking.

Can anyone help me please. Do i need to change the Fuel Rail Pressure sensor? if so Where can i get one and does anyone know the Part number?

Please help. my email address is [email protected].

Thanks

The AFM is a common issue, especially in the turbo VQ25, but it sounds like you may be having issues with fuel supply.

I would start by checking the fuel pressure is within specs. Those high pressure mechanical pumps can fail, so can the one in the tank. Replace the filter intank for a start.

Hi guys

So since the last time i posted a thread, these are the developments:

I changed the fuel rail pressure sensor. (what a mission to get to), the engine check light went off, drove it and it seemed a little better but still no kick down when you accelerate. it will drive normally, changing through the gears seems normal but when you put your foot down it just doesnt go like it should. the mechanic checked

the Fuel pump and filter in the tank and found the filter to be blocked, he changed both the filter and the pump in the tank with new ones and its still doing the same thing, drives normally and changes the gears normally but when you put your foot down there is no kickdown at all. now the diagnostic is reading the knock sensor as faulty, changed that as well and still no joy.

Can anyone help please.?

What diagnostic reader is he using? Sounds like it's in limp mode still.

If there was a fuel supply issue, then the knock sensor would be picking up knock and doing it's job correctly. Not all faults will display an engine code, and sometimes the code it does show isn't related to the fault, but is a symptom of it.

Hi Paul and scotty

Thanks for the responses.

Im not sure what reader they using but i think its the same one that our nissan dealer is using at their workshops.

The mechanic has removed all the catalytic converters from the vehicle ( not a problem in our country), we changed the fuel filter and pump in the tank as well as the sensors. took off the high pressure fuel pump that sits near the fuel rail pressure sensor (it was full of dirt) blew it out and tried it again but still doing the same thing, it drives fine but no kick down when you put your foot flat. the mechanic is suspecting that the high pressure fuel pump is gone, we couldn't strip the one we took off to really clean it out.

The mechanic said his getting another one off another skyline to try and see if there is any difference. he also told me that he has another skyline doing the same thing.

I really dont know what to do or think... they are such beautifull cars....

any suggestions????

Hi Scott

Yes it was the HP pump, apparently there are some piston like parts in the HP pump that were not working to well due to sludge, he managed to clean them out and the machine started working again, its not 100% like before but still got loads of power, having removed the catalytics seems to have given it better fuel consumption.

the mechanic says it will be fine for now until i can buy a new HP pump.

he recommends that regular oil changes should keep it from happening again.

Thanks for all the help guys, and hope this will help anyone who experiences this problem in the future.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
