Hi guys. My car looks like having electrical problems. I hope you guys can give me some advises as I don't know what to check next.

Spec:

Stock MAF

Stock injector

Stock ECU

Stock coil stock ignitor stock harness

Stock BOV

Tomei stroker bottom end

Good compression good oil pressure no fluid leak at all. (Maybe an air leak however)

Fuel pressure is perfect as it got new fuel pump and regulator. I can hear the topfeed injectors clicking. Loud as hell indeed. All plugs are fouled but still make proper spark as checked visually. The exhaust has some marks of unburnt fuel. Even the bumper got some fuel stains.

The car will not run properly. First few times I start it it revs fine all the way to 4000rpm. But I must hold the pedal slightly to let it idle or it will rev lower and lower then die on its own. Then it will get harder and harder to start and then won't start at all. I don't have a consult port so I used the PFC to check sensor and everything appeared to me in check. Nothing out of spec and all sensors got voltage. Then I swapped stock ecu back and used a paperclip to check the stock ECU and after trying to start it shows up a code 21 (or 12? It's two slow pulses and one fast pulse)

More weird stuff....after the car stalls when I step on the accelerator pedal it seems its activating fuel pump for a split second...

I don't know where to check. I don't know what's going on.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
